Very nice setup! A follow up with this customer once they log some miles would be awesome. Things like how does the ride quality compare to stock or a regular lift, has the handling changed for the better or worse, tire wear etc. Not much real world info out there on these kits.
I put 800 miles on it so far, it rides pretty good for a lifted truck! Going up definitely changes the corners and turns, lol,I will update more on one of Bret’s next builds
@wyatt5770 I have not hooked up yet, looks like I will definitely have to adjust the stem up close to the 5 inches, but looks good otherwise, that’s next to a big Tex 25+5
Did the fox reservoir bracket come extended like that so there is no cutting of the fender liner? Also, did those reservoir clamps come with the kit or does it come with standard hose clamp style? Thanks
Nice look. But why did GMC go black chrome on the truck and leave the polished wheels. Would look so much better in black chrome. I have a 2020 Gmc Denali and love it.
Having the bump stops not engaged. Would that cause any issues? Does seem strange to have the bump stop engaged constantly. Feels like you’d get a harsher ride with them slightly engaged all the time
The bump stops just slow the movement down until they are fully compressed . Not being engaged isn’t an issue either. Most leveling kits and some 6” kits are setup that way
That’s interesting that it’s supposed to be barely engaging the bump stop. I guess the longer travel only applies if the kit is set to max height? Seems like zero travel this way, 🤷🏻♂️
Gm has designed the the bump stops to compress pretty easily. Even with the coilover adjusted up higher BDS wants shims installed on the control arms to keep the bump stops close to engaging. From the factory these trucks come with the control arm fully engaging the bump stop. There is still plenty of up travel and a ton of down travel.
You think at 5” - 38s would fit without any issues? 20x10 -18mm offset? I’m about to be getting this kit and the installer is worried he can’t run it at 5” without cutting a ton and I said look at your video
Yes, most people with 2024 Denali’s aren’t beating on them Offroad. Occasionally we see them on hunting/farming land, with a key focus being on road performance. While they can be Offroad capable, most people are looking for a truck with the best ride quality and clearance for larger tires.
