another question I had for you and I had a lot so thanks for responding to everything cuz I'm going to go out and do what you did did you happen to hear if there was any issues with the alignment with that one and a half inch bottom strut spacer in the front is your suburban
Yes they realigned it for me. 4wp Bought the 1.5” spacer, installed it, realigned it, all for the original price, nothing extra. Just to help fix the issue, since I asked them prior to installing if it would be level and they said yes and they wanted to help fix it.

Another thing I wanted to ask was can I get a photo of your upper control arm where the Magnetic Ride is attached to the upper control arm is there a new bracket that had to be installed because of your lower control arm spacer.

I had this same issue! Looks like a leveling kit with the rear way high! I also had it done at 4wp. Fabtech also offered me a lower rear spacer, I didn’t want that since it wouldn’t give me the lift look and only the leveling look. And for nearly $4k that didn’t seem right. I had a level kit on it before and the final solution was 4wp put on the bottom 1.5” spacer from another lift and it helped even it out better. Attached is the level kit pic, 4” fabtech lift kit, and final the 4” plus the 1.5” to make it really a 4” kit. Only about another $50 in parts to get what you want. 8da2ffecb49cfe039de9ad4c2709504d.jpg86bc8853d0fefeb4d9467add49dffb6d.jpg95ba5011197eb901e992cc7630da453d.jpg

That lower spacer is only a 1/4" thick so it lifts a total of 1/2" on front. The other top strut spacer gives the lift. I wouldn't go any higher with that cv angle for longevity. I think the best option is to lower the rear down to match front. Still best 4" kit for a Denali is RC 3.5" with custom rods for ride height sensors or go BDS 4" with RC shock extensions to retain auto ride plus rod spacers.

So that bottom rear spacer shown above that is truly not a inch and a half thick what you're saying is it's a ratio so that quarter inch thickness added up to 1/2 inch a lift on this particular vehicle.

Yes you got it right. Its no way a 1.5" spacer because anything over 1" hits the cv axle. Anything that mounts on the bottom of the strut doubles the lift height. So a 1/2" spacer lifts 1" and 3/4" spacer is 1.5".

Man thanks for the info I'm going to do the same thing on my truck I already wasted enough money on the Fabtech lift I'm just going to put a inch in the front and put my 2-inch spacer back in the rear to get a leveled look and a true 4 in front

No problem dude. Glad to help get it sorted. I really dislike the 4” Fabtech. Hope to see yours leveled and looking right soon.
