2016 yukon xl denali 4inch lift 4wd

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.

do you have any more photos of the truck a lot more level ground so I can get an idea about the rake that it has

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.

Here’s a better pic to show the gaps and it’s much better than before. Idk how anyone would be happy with the 4” kit fabtech sells as is...

Now I have a 1 inch bottom strut spacer made by , supermax suspension in two weeks I'm going to have the rear 1 in spacer replaced with a 2 inch spacer to make it level .currently I'm writing one inch higher in the front now I have a true 4 inch lift in the front.

Okay and so that’s with the budget 4” Fabtech, and a 1” SMAXX bottom spacer?? Anything new with the mag/air ride linkage? How’s it been driving?

So far it is not working with a 1-inch spacer but I also contacted supermaxx suspension and talk to John by the way .. he sold me just sold me the autoride relocation bracket appropriate for a 1 thru 2-inch spacer so I will have that installed in a few weeks I will post the pictures up when i am done but on a side note what a project this became all becaise fabtechs kit is a true 3 inch not a 4 inch as they adverise here is a pic how I got my yukon him day one

 

[cbraga]

Yeah, not a good look ass up like that. If I’m understanding you right

With the added 1” your mag/air ride is off “but” if you add the link that comes with the suspension max 2” leveling kit that “should” fix that issue?

so I saw an other member on here just a bottom strut spacer to rasie the front end up to match the rear end , but if you call Fabtech ask them to send you a 2 inch spacer because the kit will come with a 3-inch spacer from your kit and that is way too damn High considering that the front end only raises 3 inchs . i Chose just to go with a 1 inch bottom strut spacer so that way my CV angles weren't that bad as you can tell from the photo of my front axle it's not too bad... but going an 1.5 inch I would think it would be worse and as far as the ride quality it's bearable nothing intolerable does not bother me.

Is exactly correct
