Lifted/Leveled 2021 - Postem Up

Thank you for the information. I will probably stick with the XL rating and get the 305/45/22 toyos. Did you put a leveling kit on as well?

I did level it. But purely for a level stance, not to fit the tires (they fit without a level).

Hello all, I am looking for some information. I have a 2021 Yukon denali 6.2 with 22's and no air ride and was wondering what the max tire size is with a 1" or 1.5" level. Does anyone make a 33.5 x12.50 size tire, or should I just look at 33x12.50 or 305/45R22? I am new to car modifications and not sure what my options are. What leveling options do I have? I just want to get a slightly taller and wider tire in an all terrain tread like the Toyo At3 or BFG AT. I see a lot of AT4's and Z71's on here and they look like they fit a bigger tire but no idea for the denali. Any help would be appreciated.

I cant see the appeal in lifting or even front leveling a denali. Nor can i see the appeal in larger tires if you are going to keep 22" wheels. Leave it be.

Yeah….I figured I’d catch some flack for that. I should have said “IMO” after.

What's the difference between lifting a denali or a base model tahoe or a yukon slt or a z71 suburban, etc? They're all pretty much the same vehicle with different variations of trim are they not?

Under the skin sure, but the image they give and purpose they mean to fill are different. There isn’t anything off-roady about a Denali. It’s purely aesthetic, and wouldn’t be an issue to me if they didn’t offer already off-road type trim levels. I have had 2 Denalis and 1 Escalade and none would be anything more than nice road going SUV’s with capabilities to get you out of a jam in a pinch if needed or the occasional trip to the deer woods. Snowy roads don’t count.

Lets face it. Pretty much 100% of the people putting tires/wheels/lift kits on their vehicle…especially brand new $90k suv’s, let alone an actual truck…are not doing it for off roading. Period. Its simply for aesthetics. They want to make their cookie cutter vehicle “their own”.

While gm does offer “off road” trim levels with the at4 and z71 packages, they really are not all that much more “off road-able” in comparison to any of the other trims. They are basically the same vehicle with a few minor changes (bumpers, tires, wheels etc.).

You are 100% correct. Mall crawler jeeps, for instance. Its all personal preferance to me....nothing more. I, personally, wouldnt buy the mac-daddy trim level and try to make it look like something it wasnt intended one being. Might just be the 22's....dunno. 20's are boarderline for me. I also always remove the lowest air dam/valance from my "off road" themed vehicles.

I think they look pretty good with mud tires or all terrains. I chose the denali trim level because I think it looks the best, it has the 6.2 and the best interior. The 22’s look fine to me. And you are correct I will not be off roading this besides snow days, back roads or getting to my duck camp. Any one of those roads though I want more than the stock tires.
