Suspension maxx leveling kit

[Gron86]

Looking to get my 2016 Yukon Denali xl leveled. I currently have a 1.5” suspension maxx kit. The rear still sits about 3/4” higher than the front. What would be the absolute best level without getting Cali lean. ( nose up) ??

Ps. I will be using the suspension maxx max stacks which provide 1/4” lift per disk.

get there max lift kit and it should be level

Take out the kit and use 2” drop springs in back

This hahahahahha.

That is exactly what I wanted to do to my wifes denali. But of course, she won the battle and I raised the front instead.

Btw, I went with the 1.5” max kit as well. And while the back is slightly higher than the front, I wouldnt want the front any higher. Thats when it starts looking goofy IMO. That is exactly why I went with the 1.5” kit.

I'm interested in the 1.5" kit on the front myself. Easy installation? Any effect on the ride?

Yea, pretty simple install. Rides just like it always did. Definitely will need an alignment when done though.

I certainly dont want the front any higher.

Meh, not really. The passenger shock is now blown, though, but not really sure that had anything to do with the leveling kit. She has 80k miles on it now, so that is longer than some have made it in stock form.

No doubt, I got 43k on mine right now and all seems good so far. Thanks for the input!

I wouldn't hesitate to do the same thing again.

However, now that I need to replace the front shocks, I think I may go with some Fox units and do a magnaride delete. Rather than replace with the OEM units.

Good to know, I want to eventually do a 6" lift but this should keep me happy for a while. Seems like people switch out the magana ride often.

 

[jdombrowki21]

I want to lift it, but I don't want to void my warranty so once that goes I'll do a 6"

Question for you, did you measure side to side? I am looking at doing just what you did on my 16 with 40K miles, and is appears the driver side is about 1" lower than the passenger side? Was thinking about adjusting with the Maxx kit but did not know if that would cause any problems.

Sounds like you have an issue with your suspension if your one side is lower than the other

That’s normal.

 

[jdombrowki21]

it is normal for one side of the truck to sit an inch lower?

Usually not quite an inch, but if it says Chevy or gmc on it, the drivers side is probably lower, yes.

 

[olyelr]

The drivers side of my wifes denai is taller. Not by an inch, but a little taller nonetheless.
