dunno if anyone gives a shit but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch all of the new movies on Instaflixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend for the last couple of months =)
I bought a new Denali Sierra and want to perform this modification. Will it affect alignment or camber? New to trucks so please bear with me. Thank you.
Am I missing something, or did you guys use the wrong hole for the mag ride? When you showed the instructions at the beginning of the video it looks like the threaded hole is for 1-1.5"
Yeah, I noticed the same thing. According to the instructions at 01:14... the 2 side by side holes were meant to be at the bottom, but on installation, the have them at the top at 06:34, and flipped. See 01:14, 00:58, and 06:34 From the bottom of the plate, it appears to be about 5/8" to the bottom hole, whereas the distance from the top of the plate to the top of the top hole appears to be about 1/4"
Also, per the Suspension Maxx instructions "Both linkage and bracket bolt must be kept in line vertically. " Meaning, don't stagger the mounting hole on the left side of the bracket, and the linkage to the right side of the bracket. www.suspensionmaxx.com/content/uploads/pdfs/installation_guides/SMX-GM725M.pdf
@@BiggBaddVVolfi notice that too the two even holes on one end of the plate supposed to be in the bottom and the uneven holes on top yes they did screw up hopefully they fix the that
Installed mine over the weekend . Went with the 2.25. Looks good . When I was done I let truck off the stands and my control arms were against the bumps. Drove for a while . Now they about an inch off the bump stop. Didn't like the bolts that came for bottom of strut. I know the plate for ride height says where to put it with lift choice . What I'm wondering is could u put in a different adjustment to raise a lil ? Would it affect the shock .
I added the same leveling kit as you and your brother for my Denali with the magneride. I do get a lot of popping when I turn left and right. Is your brother going through the same thing as well?
Danny Morales I did it to my Denali also.. I can hear it pop sometimes :0 but it’s only once in while when I do a very sharp left or right when I’m going at slow speeds
Andres Jimenez I greased up my joints in the front it’s back to normal haven’t heard it pop at all. I just installed new Tires and got it aligned and it’s back to normal. MPG - it’s the same as when I bought it 15-16 in the city I recommend leveling it! Gives it a better look from the front!
Overtime would having the leveling kit it has gotten worse. I hear the popping getting a lot worst. so now I am looking for something that's going to work better if not I will have too do something customized.
There is another kit from Rough Country that doesn't show the ride height sensor bracket to be included. Is it possible to mount the sensor without the bracket?
Finally, a video on how to install a leveling kit without completely disassembly the front end
Did the front end need to be aligned?
Any issues in the last 7 months?
Would you go with the 2.5 instead?
That’s kool 2 brothers working together 👍🏾

@Marvin Rocco yup, I've been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself :D
If you were doing the 2" spacer on top and had to pull the stut completely out could you have still done that without separating the control arm?
The relo bracket was installed wrong
Are you going to do some pulls to hear that 6.2 🤘
The bossthree probably a 5.3l
@@avnregt Its a Denali... has a 6.2L
@@mikesaindon6439 2014+ Sierra Denali don't all have 6.2. Many have 5.3. You are thinking of 2007-2013 generation that all Denali had 6.2
where did u get the rims on the 14? im looking for a set of 4 myself
Does the truck need to be aligned after the installation?
Yes
excelente trabajo, hasta las suspenciones nuevas mejoran. saludos.
Milkcrate82, celso guajardo villarreal Saids That: excellent work, even the new suspensions improve. greetings.
Update?.
Good job

Followed your directions worked like a charm👍🏻
Just bought a 2017 Sierra SLT 1500.
As a carpenter, I feel like even I could do this successfully with two extra hands around.
Good video.
All these companies that make leveling kit says you have to disassemble the whole front end and get wheel alignment so stupid
That bottom spacer, bolts heads up nuts at the bottom. Its very important

Is there a difference with the 20'' wheels versus the 22'' wheels? I have a 18 Denali with 22'' and mine sits low, to me. Its also a 4wd
When Dealers install they use Spacer on top of Strut application which works way better than spacer on bottom.
Did you have it aligned after the install?
Austin Kalenda same question
you guys live in the rust belt? there's no corrosion protection on that truck.
So would you do a 2.5 or 3 inch if you were gonna do it again
This can be done by only disconnecting sway bar and bottom shock bolts. Cut 4 threads off bolt that goes under CV and thread from bottom. Saves time
I didn't add top spacers to mine. Only bottom
Link for that kit????
We need some more GMC videos!!
@milkcrate82 what rear seat storage did you use in your truck?

Karlton posey was it difficult to install the 2.25?
If i doing this to my truck do i need to take the truck to alignment?
EXELENT...VIDEO...
Donde los puedo comprar los aumentos
Have you noticed if the truck rode rough after the kit?
Oh nice
How about we do a 1 Collaboration
How much did he pay?
No warranty issues with the kit ? or installing it yourselves ?
TheCanadianBubba leaving a comment to see if they respond, planning on doing it to mine; and my guess is that they went with 2" only for that purpose
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great video!

Did you guys resolve that issue? I'm debating about leveling mine or not.
Also how much did your fuel economy lower?
Andres Jimenez I greased up my joints in the front it’s back to normal haven’t heard it pop at all.
I just installed new Tires and got it aligned and it’s back to normal. MPG - it’s the same as when I bought it 15-16 in the city

Oscar Sandoval Glad it worked out for you. Also thanks for the response!

There is another kit from Rough Country that doesn't show the ride height sensor bracket to be included. Is it possible to mount the sensor without the bracket?
