I have a 2007 GMC Yukon Denali and I need to replace the front struts. I wanted aftermarket ones to bypass the autoride. I have 26 inch rims on the truck. Anyone know a good brand to use? I called Suncore and Arnott and they both said they don't have ones that would work on 26inch rims.

lol. Any strut would work, wouldn't matter if it was 20's or 28's if you're keeping the stock height

Use any strut from a silverado or a tahoe and use 25w 2.2ohm resistors to bypass the air ride

Don’t mention 26” rims because that doesn’t matter. Struts and shocks aren’t specified by how big your wheels are.

From what I’ve heard ,Belltech shocks aren’t good.

Yeah....... I’m not sure how they, or any company, can say that depending on what “larger” means. 22? 24? 26? The ride difference is in the tire compound and amount of sidewall along with the suspension. Most guys I see here run Bilstein or Arnott. I still have stock at 130k but will replace with Bilstein soon. No experience with Belltech in the past 10 years and they were on an 81 lowered Silverado. Thank goodness shocks have come a long way since then.

Belltechs ride soft in my opinion... like factory or softer.

I went with the Rancho 9 way adjustable struts on the front of my 4/6 Burb and am quite happy... but I'm only running 22's with 285/40 tires.

With 26's you will want a softer strut because the rubber band tires will make it ride harsh. Too soft though and you may scrub tires on the wheel wells/fenders when you hit dips in the road at speed.
