Magneride Delete - Magdelete or ShockSims?

dboneusc · Aug 21, 2024

From an operations perspective, I have seen positive reports on both systems; is there any reason to want one over the other? 2015 Yukon Denali 2WD w/ 22" wheels.

Still trying to decide on replacement shock/struts - Bilstein 4600 or 5100 most likely. Car literally never goes off-road or does any substantial towing.

Thanks!

You are correct in that there are folks who favor each side of the suspension conversion question, and there are several threads on this Forum discussing the pros and cons in great detail.

I've had both suspension systems on my 07 Yukon XL Denali, and I am firmly in the camp that the OEM suspension is the best option. On the other hand, folks who prefer the aftermarket passive suspension often use Bilstein shocks.

In either event be sure to check out RockAuto.com and GMPartsDirect.com for great pricing on OEM suspension parts, if you decide to go in that direction.

Stay with OEM. You'll have the best ride and longevity. And, if you want the new struts to last past 75k, ditch the 22 inch wheels.......they are strut assassins IMHO

Yes it's definitely a rabbit hole! But such great information and have learned a ton. I'm also considering the Arnott path rather than a separate sensor bypass.

My problem is that I'm just snake bit at this point - I've already had to replace the Magenride system once with OEM, and I've been so unimpressed with the ride quality from day 1 that I can't put the money back into the same thing for a third time.

Totally hear you on the 22" and I'm very actively looking for a set of stock 20" take-offs to replace them with!
