New/Old Member here 16 Yukon Denali questions

[rawlsy32]

Just picked up a 16 Yukon Denali for a great deal and looking to deck it out. Thinking about putting a 2/4 drop on it with magnaride delete. Is this worth doing? Also wanting to put 24s on it but having a hard time deciding on 305/35/24 or 295/35/24 and if the 305s will rub etc. Honestly just looking for suggestions and do/donts. It has 22s on it now but would rather the 24s. I’ll keep the 22s to ride during our small winter.

Welcome back.

If you remove the Magneride, you will lose that active suspension, and turn it into a passive suspension. Your call for sure, and many folks here in the Forum have done that.

My recommendation to you is to keep the active suspension and buy a pair of Hellwig sway bars, and you will have a rock solid ride, both on smooth and rough surfaces, and the truck's handling will improve dramatically.

I cannot speak to the 22 or 24 inch rim sizes, but I can tell you that a 305/50x20 tire fits on the stock 20 inch rim with no rubbing.

I have a 2018 with BellTech 2/3 drop + Hellwig swaybar. With 285/45/22 I rub a little up front on tight turns with and incline or decline. I would like to run 305s and still may. I ran 305s on my 2008 Avalanche with the BellTech 2/3 drop.

The drivability/handling with the drop + Hellwig swaybars is fantastic.

Most people delete magnaride when it one of the shocks begin to fail since its cheaper than replacing components of the mangnaride. I deleted magnaride, but i went up with fox coilovers instead of down. 2/4 drop would look good.

I found there’s a 2-3 drop without deleting magneride. Going to see if that’s something that can be done

The BellTech 2" front spindle & 3 to 4" spring drop kit retains mag-ride. It gives you a great ride.
