Took the 20’s off and threw on 22’s with 285/50/22 Nitto G2’s.

@Ccarterz71: Saw you have a new Denali since this and previously where you mentioned having the Bilstein 5100s all the way up in the front. At this point, did you have the rears all the way up do you recall? I'm definitely going with 5100s all the way around for my 2018 Burb and want at least an inch or so in the rear, just trying to figure out the best combination.

Rear shocks are not for ride height or adjustable.

This might seem like a stupid question, but what tool did you use to trim your wings? Just a Dremel or similar?
i ran a blue tape line where i wanted it trimmed up to...then a 4" grinder with a 1/16" wheel, sliced right through...then buffed the edge a little with a file

After several months of looking at pictures and going back and forth on what level kit to install on my Wife's 2020 Suburban Premier RST, I've decided to go with the Suspension Maxx 2.5/1.5" level with the rear 1.5" shock extensions. I'm quite pleased with the results!

Beautiful color. Did you go all 2.5 up front? In the photo, the rear looks a bit higher. Mag suspension?
Thanks! Yes went up a full 2.5" and it has magride. The ground is not completely flat so its kind of hard to see. With the 1.5" in the rear its slightly higher but with the long wheel base looks better than just using the 1"

I've seen pictures of the 1" combo on the LWB and it looks the opposite. I even spoke to Suspension Maxx about which one to do and they also just did a 2020 RST with a 1" rear spacer and the customer went back and had it swapped for the 1.5"

My 2015 LTZ. Converted the magnetic ride to Fox 2.0 coilovers, added Xineering 3/4 bypass kit to avoid any warning lights for the suspension, added a 1.5 inch spacer in the rear, KSP upper control arms, and longer end links for the rear. This Tahoe started out as stock loaded with chrome. Traded out the stock 22s for some 20s and a set 265 60 20 BFG ultra terrain tire. Also upgraded the stock air intake with a Jr air intake system (kept the stock airbox) and added custom tune. No longer your typcial grocery getter! I have a before and after picture to show all the progress and a few other current ones

Ordered the KSP upper control arms as they're too inexpensive not to try. Your tires rubbing on them at all?

You use jeep sway bar end-links in the rear on yours?

Just did the suspensionmaxx 1.5” level kit on my 15i Denali XL with 275/65/18 cooper atp2 and gmc wheels.
It’s still a little nose down but that’s probably because these Arnott replacements are sagging terribly. I don’t even have 3k miles on them.
Arnott had said it’s with in spec last time I talked to them.

Really bummed I didn’t just get the sensor foolers and just get a real coilover and shock out back.
Here are two after pics…
