Show off your 2015+ leveled Tahoes and Yukons!

[Oh Kee Pah]

Nice setup!

Is that a falken at3w spare tire i see peaking out under the bumper?

And whats up with the cupholder covers in the center council…i though that was a denali only thing.

YES - Falken AT3W as the spare.
Good eye!
295/70r18 to match the size of the other 4 (wanted a solid, A/T tire that wasn't too expensive in case it became needed when off-road).
Haven't drove on it yet; only removed several times to check pressure and do some undercarriage access/cleaning.

Cupholder covers were there when I purchased this 2015 LTZ. From other "for sale" photos I've looked at, the cupholder covers seem to be standard for my year and trim.
My guess is because it's the LTZ trim - I honestly didn't realize other trims did NOT have the cupholder covers.
To go along with my chrome delete, I used matte black vinyl wrap to cover the chrome trim on the cupholder covers, as well as the chrome on the a/c directional knobs and all 4 interior door handles.

Gotchya! Yea i think the ltz trim was one of the only trim lines chevy put the cupholder covers on back then…i thought your ride was a z71 lol!

Vinyl wrap on interior trim pieces…that gets my wheels turning…i have chrome **** all over inside my truck, and it drives me nuts when the sun shines off it…

I run the at3w’s on my truck and also out them on my wifes denali. Pretty solid tires for sure…

Went from trailboss takeoffs to a set of 20" takeoffs with 275/60/20 street tires. Still on a rough country front spacer and Moog 80169 rear springs(about 3/4" gain)

While im sure the tb wheels/tires made that thing look quite a bit more aggressive, i bet it rides a lot better with the current setup.

Rig looks great!

Yea. Was definitely more aggressive, but i actually think the truck looks better with a bigger wheel. Will probably put some AT tires on these when needed, but got a great deal with the highway tires.

The duratracs are far from quiet as well

Yea i agree…these vehicles look better with the 20+” wheels in my opinion.

Yup, I have had duratracs. Not horribly noisy when new, but get some miles and minor wear on them and wow do they make noise.

Here are the 20’s with duratracs for a visual, prior to me leveling and eventually lifting.

So real quick. To level the front: Is it a 2 inch or a 1.5 inch?

I have a 15 yukon denali xl 4x4....

On my standard shock SLE the 2” looked too high from certain angles, the 2.5” front 1” rear looked better. So my vote is 1.5” if front only. I believe that holds true for magnetic ride and auto level shocks too from what I’ve seen/read. The only uncertainty I still have (and wouldn’t be relevant for your Denali) sounds like Z71 rears may sit slightly higher, so maybe 2” is better for those tahoes.

Just saw you have an XL, would think rear sits a bit lower from the extra weight in the back of the longer trucks, so would think 1.5” would be an even safer bet. But just assuming.

Yea…if u want a levelish look without the slightly sagging ass look, go 1.5”.

I love those wheels. Info,please?

 

[BeenChevy]

Ended up downsizing a smidge from the 33x12.50 MT to Atturos new MTS in a 295x55 load E. Little bit of a ride comfort improvement and no rub. Ordered OE RST chromes and will be mounting MT's on those.

Here is mine. 2015 Suburban Z71. I was trying to make it look unique with a wheel that would look clean and hasn't been overplayed. I'm still on the fence. I guess the thing with overplayed wheels is that they are proven and look great. Spec's are below. I am unsure of what to think of the offset as well. They stick out a little further than I was hoping for, and my wife is not happy with the rub! I may pull the 1.5" leveling spacer and go with Fox 2.0 coilovers front and shocks rear. Hoping that will give me a little more height and eliminate the rub. I will probably have to add a 1" rear spacer as well.

Wheels: Fuel Rage 20x9 +1
Tires: Toyo Open Country AT3 275/60/20
Leveling Kit: Moto Fab 1.5"

Oh you will definitely get more height with the fox struts, but chances are you wont stop the rub. Just jack the front of the rig up another inch and and see if the rub goes away…bet it wont.

Truck looks good!

Thanks for the feedback. The shocks are due for replacement regardless and the Fox 2.0 all around looked like a good option to get a level and have decent ride quality. I had leveled our previous Suburban and, until I installed the leveling kit on this one, had forgotten how much that 1.5" really does affect the ride. I'm hoping to get a level without the ride harshness from the Fox's. Although, I really don't want more than 2" and from all of the feedback I am seeing on this page, I'm afraid they might overdo that height.

 

[BeenChevy]

Looks good. I wouldn't have predicted any ride quality change raising the strut 1.5". As for the rub, your probably making contact with your fender liner and could look into pounding them in a bit and reforming the carpets.

I put a 1.5” lower strut level spacer on her ‘16 denali. That worked fine for about 50k miles, then the shocks started going. I then replaced the stock struts and level kit with fox 2.0 units. I honestly couldn't tell the difference between the 3 setups really…they all rode good to me.

Out of the box, the fox units gave her ‘16 denali all of a full 3” of lift, if not a bit more. I had to lower them down quite a bit to keep it level with the factory height in the rear.
