WillieFlo, do you mind snapping a pic of the brackets included in the leveling kit to adjust the magnetic ride sensors? It appears SuspensionMaxx is the first company to actually address the front and rear ride height sensors when installing a leveling kit on a Denali, LTZ or Escalade. Now that the pickup trucks have these sensors and not just the SUVs there is a larger amount of users wanting to modify their trucks but have this suspension so companies are finally starting to address this.

I didn't realize why my 2010 Tahoe LTZ 4x4 with a CCM 2.5"/1" leveling kit rode so poorly until about a week ago when I read about the 2015 Denali guys dealing with the front and rear ride height sensors, which is what I never adjusted.

lonestar,
Check these out. First Pic is the front, and second pic is the rear, both on the drivers side.

Thanks so much, that's exactly what I needed. Now if I could just get the company to sell those brackets without buying the entire kit!

Thanks to all you guys!! All the info everyone has shared has helped me keep from repeating mistakes others regret making on certain products:emotions122: or mods they've done, then wish they hadn't. :(
Cheers to you guys for helping me make the right choices the first time!:beer:

Y'all need to stop posting pictures like these before I have to trade the 2011 in on a new one. These trucks look absolutely sick, especially when they've been modded like this. Very nice truck!

Looks fantastic. How's the road noise with those tires?
It rides really very nice. The only time I notice any road noise is with the radio completely off. This rig has so much sound proofing
on it from the factory. If I add some Dynamat under the carpet/behind doors, I'm sure it will be completely eliminated.

Good to know. I'm sure if I put those kind of tires on my Tahoe I'd hear a bit more road noise as I believe the Denali has more sound proofing materials than the Tahoe but it sounds like it wouldn't be too bad overall. Might have to look into it a bit more as I've like those wheels but hadn't yet found a tire I saw that I liked on them.

What kind of tire are you looking for? AT or a Street tire?

At this point, really either. I've only now begun the search for a new set of wheels and tires and have come across only a few that I've really liked and thought would look good with my truck. I probably won't actually be buying until at least next year as this year has been expensive enough with the mods I've done up to this point with just a few more on the way currently.

I've got to tell you, I've had Goodyear's, BF Goodrich AT KO's, Nitto Terra Grapplers, and Nitto Trail Grapplers on my trucks and Jeep
over the last 15 - 17 years. My favorite for looks are the Nitto Trail Grapplers because they are knarly and tough looking. HOWEVER, since I won't be taking the Denali to the ranch or mudding, I think the next set I put on will be AT type with either a Nitto Terra Grappler 2 or BFG AT KO2. I like the Terra Grappler 2's for their ride and 60,000 Treadwear rating, but in an All-Terrain, I think the wraparound sidewall tread on the BFG KO2's is more rugged looking while still providing a smooth ride for an AT tire. The wraparound sidewalls on the Terra Grapplers(Ver. 1 or 2) are not as pronounced as the BFG AT KO2.

I kept my lifted '08 Nissan Titan crew cab 4x4 with Nitto Terra Grapplers on them. They are excellent tires and ride really quiet as long as you rotate and balance every 5,000 miles. Since it does see days at the ranch, I'll probably put Trail Grapplers on it instead next round.
