Picked this '19 Z71 up last year, and just got done with the mods below. Fox 2.0's up front and shocks out back. Wayyy better than the stock suspension. Then put 275/70R18 Toyo ATIII's on. Clearance is fantastic up front now, gained nearly 4" total at the bumper. Had to do a little massaging to the front passenger fender liner with a heat gun, but now there is no rubbing at all.

What setting on the fox up front? Looks great!

2017, 4wd w/ smooth ride suspension.
2.5 / 1.5 Motofab
Bilstein 5100 rear
Stock front strut (for now)
285/50/22 Toyo AT3

Ride is as expected with a slightly leveled IFS and bilstein 5100....great at normal to high speed, sharp and noticeable at low speed

Also did the Powerstop Z36 brake kit...huge improvement, first trip was 800 plus miles loaded down with a 6K trailer, return was unloaded and driven more sporty...
Brakes performed above expectations.

Do you have wheel spacers? And any rubbing?

No spacers...the ever so slightest rub on sway bar when holding the wheel cranked.

I could probably shift the sway to center it and have no issues...it only does it on a right turn...cranked hard and holding it.

Normal parking lot turns and driving don't even come close.

Here are some pictures of my 2017 Yukon XL Denali with the following:
- Suspension Maxx 2.5" Front and 1" rear level lift
- Fuel Maverick 20X9 +14 offset wheels
- 305/55/20 Toyo Open Country R/T tires
View attachment 204513
View attachment 204514 View attachment 204512

I am going for this exact look. However my shop can’t source the 305/55/20 at the moment. They do have the 33x12.50s in stock though. It seems it’s about a half inch wider of a tire.

Think I’ll run into any rubbing issues with the same 2.5”F / 1” R level?

20x9 +20 wheel.

i would be willing to bet, the 12.5 will rub.

however it will be of the slightest contact at these 2 points...
1. sway bar, generally this is shifted slightly to one side and rubs only at hard lock turns ( i mean holding the wheel tight to the side)
2. the inner fender liners near the front and rear edge ( they have ample room behind them to be pulled back and pinned with a heavy zip tie. ( drill 2 small holes about 1/4" to 1/2" apart, then insert the tie and connect another if needed to reach a stationary item to hold it in place)

Thats fine. I understand why MODs have rules. Just wanted to let some of yall know incase in might be something some one was interested in.

You might want to check out the shock re-positioning bracket that SuspensionMaxx sells. I just came across it today actually. I am adding them to my current setup.

Here's a link:

I added these to my 16 yukon denali. They work great and the shock seems to be in the factory spot. I put 2 in front lift, 1.5 in back with this bracket..

if any one is looking, i have a set of shock relocators for a lifted application....will go cheap.

i went with a longer shock rather than use the brackets. all new in the box with hardware. some one PM if they need a set, $25 plus the ride. small box.

Have Kings on my truck and regret going with Bilsteins on my Suburban. Wise move!

3” spacer up front and 3.5-4” in the rear. Uniball UCA’s and either Icon or Radflow coil overs next. I’m searching for a RIDERITE air helper kit also for when I load her up. I don’t have the Maxtow package.

Daddymigs...looks great, I debated on locating that wheel for my burb.

Love how that tire fills the wheel well.

I do prefer how mine appears to have the addition clearance of the 2.5 lift, but the stuffed look nails it on the tahoe.

Nice job.

Thanks. I'm getting some scrub in the rear passenger side when turning at certain angles that I need to track down. hopefully something some trimming will fix. If not, may have to end up putting 1.5 on the rear and 2.5 on the front.
