i run the 35x12.5.20 ridge grapps on my 24 ultimate with no level and they don't rub at all. ran the same setup on my 2020 chevy 3500 with no rub either
I also installed the Maxx Suspension leveling kit on my Hummer H3 Alpha. American made and I believe it's the best leveling kit out there because of the adjusting cam.
Can you make a video on the diff. Spacing? Also, how was upper control arm to stop clearance with this kit? I believe this is the kit I'm going with also.
Love this video…you explained a lot…..I have the exact truck Can you do this tire setup without leveling the front end? I would like a stance that extends outward just a couple of inches than that shown…
That’s for the comment! You do need to level the truck at least to put the 35” tires on. If you bring the stance out more than this, the truck would have to be lifted higher to clear the fenders and bumper.
Such a helpful video, thank you for creating this content. I am in the process of choosing between a 4” cognito and a level for my 2024 Denali HD. May have just changed my mind. Would like to see the angle of the front axles.
have the same kit in 3 inch.. with the upper control arms...on my 2020 sierra denali 2500 cleared 37's on stock wheels... im running 24x14's on 35's with a 3/4 inch bumper spacer kit.. and slight triming on lower fender and the ride is amazing
@theactionkiller6788 mine is on the 3 inch setting in the front.. has the 1.5 inch block kit in the rear.. I didn't upgrade the shocks.. should have went with fox shocks.. but ride is amazing...
Thanks for the video. I like practical over flashy. May consider same setup was just looking the best premium suspension lift 2” or so without hurting ride quality to run 35x11.5. I hate to lose that factory rake on a truck with max trailering that gets off pavement regularly. 2025 2500 GMC
I have 2018 sierra 1500 with simple level kit and I have 275 65 20 bfg km3 which is taller and wider than factory. Got 3 inches between level and tires. Sickest ever. Daily driver
Maybe you can help me out. I’ve done went and got old and dumb. I just bought a GMC dually. Will this up work on that to keep from rubbing on the front. I do not want to go with a lift because of hauling.
Great stance. Did you have a chance to drive it to see if the ride had any noticeable difference? Also do those keys keep the space on the UCA to bump stop similar to stock ?
The truck actually drove awesome, very similar to stock. There is a smaller amount of space between the bump stop and control arm but it is a manageable amount to daily drive without “bottoming out”.
I’ve got a 2024 2500hd with Cognito 3in level kit, so fix shocks, controls arms etc. If I chose the 12.50 will I run or do I need to buy an inch spacer?
If I buy these leveling keys would I still need new control arms ?? Not to cuz any type of damage or is it safe just to run the leveling keys with out the buying the upper control arms
I notice that you don’t change out the upper control arm on the leveling kits, does that put any extra wear on the ball joints? Does the lift put any extra wear on the front CV joints?
The leveling kit for the 1500 Sierra Denali although is not the same as that one but has the same mechanism with of course with the appropriate leveling kit for the 1500 Sierra Denali?
Great video. I have a 24 ultimate as well. What wheel offset do you think would be ideal for this level kit? I’m on the fence if I’m gonna do 22’ or 24’s but thinking some jtx wheels.
Great setup. I bought the AT4 trim kit. This is what I’m thinking but maybe w 22 inch rims. So what tire size would you recommend that will give same look but w 22s
i have a 24 Ultimate and when i put the 3" and 37's it drove horrible. I added a steering stabilizer from BDS and that helped some, and then decided to do the cognito pitman and idler arm support support arm and that was the ticket. Now it drives great....hope this helps.
I have a 21 chevy duramax i took factory wheels off put on 18x9 black rhino alpha's and run 235/70r18 toyo rt trail tires to get rid of pavement princess look. Wheel should never be capable of touching a curb.

Explained everything he was doing and why very well and gave examples with other products/styles👍🏼👍🏼
Siiiiiiiiiick
I’ve got an AT4 24’ HD, wish I had someone like you near by,
omg, its soo bad sometimes when a vid will sway me just like that. now im sold on this tire & size. thanks for the comparison.
Glad I could help
i run the 35x12.5.20 ridge grapps on my 24 ultimate with no level and they don't rub at all. ran the same setup on my 2020 chevy 3500 with no rub either
Do you have a level kit?
On stock wheels… doubt it.
Yeah same
Great video and great way to explain things
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I also installed the Maxx Suspension leveling kit on my Hummer H3 Alpha. American made and I believe it's the best leveling kit out there because of the adjusting cam.
I totally agree
Wow awesome truck 😊
Can you make a video on the diff. Spacing? Also, how was upper control arm to stop clearance with this kit? I believe this is the kit I'm going with also.
Could you share what settings you put the torsion keys at? for that set up maxx lift but great ride?!

Red tow hooks on Denali ?
great vid. exactly what I'm looking for. will ride quality be better if go with maxx upper control arm?
Such a helpful video, thank you for creating this content. I am in the process of choosing between a 4” cognito and a level for my 2024 Denali HD. May have just changed my mind.
Would like to see the angle of the front axles.
The angles are still really good with just the torsion keys, however I’ve installed the 4” Cognito several times and that is also a great kit.
YES, i would have loved to seen a shot of that as well !@jakesliftedlife
I got the 295's only for the load index.
Absolutely
have the same kit in 3 inch.. with the upper control arms...on my 2020 sierra denali 2500 cleared 37's on stock wheels... im running 24x14's on 35's with a 3/4 inch bumper spacer kit.. and slight triming on lower fender and the ride is amazing
Big wheels look goofy, especially when they wider thenthe tire!
Did you have it cranked right to 3in, and did you put blocks in the rear. Hows it ride ?
@theactionkiller6788 mine is on the 3 inch setting in the front.. has the 1.5 inch block kit in the rear.. I didn't upgrade the shocks.. should have went with fox shocks.. but ride is amazing...

Thank you for watching! Yes this kit is adjustable from 0" to 2.5" so you can pin point the ride height.
I have 2018 sierra 1500 with simple level kit and I have 275 65 20 bfg km3 which is taller and wider than factory. Got 3 inches between level and tires. Sickest ever. Daily driver
Do the 35x12.50r20 rub the upper control arm with the factory +47mm wheels?
Only at FULL turn just a little, but it works fine.
Love the info in this video boss! Would the new tires fit in the spare tire compartment? With or without modifications?
Thanks You Da Man!
Maybe you can help me out. I’ve done went and got old and dumb. I just bought a GMC dually. Will this up work on that to keep from rubbing on the front. I do not want to go with a lift because of hauling.
Yes, this will work perfectly on a dually.
Could I get a 35 on the truck?
Great stance. Did you have a chance to drive it to see if the ride had any noticeable difference? Also do those keys keep the space on the UCA to bump stop similar to stock ?
The truck actually drove awesome, very similar to stock. There is a smaller amount of space between the bump stop and control arm but it is a manageable amount to daily drive without “bottoming out”.
I’ve got a 2024 2500hd with Cognito 3in level kit, so fix shocks, controls arms etc. If I chose the 12.50 will I run or do I need to buy an inch spacer?
You would not have to. The spacer would make it rub on the fender and bumper vs. minor rubbing on the sway bar without spacers.
If I buy these leveling keys would I still need new control arms ?? Not to cuz any type of damage or is it safe just to run the leveling keys with out the buying the upper control arms
It is safe to just run the keys as long as you do not adjust past the 2.5" mark
So did you need to cut the a arm bump stops ? Looks like your down travel is limited.
You don't need to swap control arms?
I notice that you don’t change out the upper control arm on the leveling kits, does that put any extra wear on the ball joints?
Does the lift put any extra wear on the front CV joints?
We only raise the trucks 2.5", at that height nothing is damaged. If we were to raise it to 3" there could be issues long term.
Great video 👊🙌
Thank you!
The leveling kit for the 1500 Sierra Denali although is not the same as that one but has the same mechanism with of course with the appropriate leveling kit for the 1500 Sierra Denali?
Great video. I have a 24 ultimate as well. What wheel offset do you think would be ideal for this level kit? I’m on the fence if I’m gonna do 22’ or 24’s but thinking some jtx wheels.
The factory offset wheel is best. Anything bigger may result in trimming on the bumper and fender.
Would have liked to see the CV angle but otherwise good video.
What setting did you do on this truck?
Great setup. I bought the AT4 trim kit. This is what I’m thinking but maybe w 22 inch rims. So what tire size would you recommend that will give same look but w 22s
Same question as Chris do they have a 35 that fits on a 22inch rim?
Hey Jake, so with the suspension Maxx do you still need an alignment if you go up 2”
Yes, you will most definitely need an alignment
@@jakesliftedlife thank you
Dude I’m totally digging it
Me too bro that thing is nice
How high do you have the front end set? 2” up from stock?
About 2.5”
Both dealer I talked to said ANY modifications to the truck would void the entire truck warranty.
Sounds like you need to find a new dealer my friend.
What setting did you do on this one? A2 B3?
So with 35/12.50 R20 the wheel spacers would actually make it rub worse?
Yes, that is true.
How is the ride?
Got the kit on my 2024 on 37s with minor trimming and the truck is driving absolutely horrible. It pulls terrible to the left and is all over the road
Sounds like it needs an alignment
i have a 24 Ultimate and when i put the 3" and 37's it drove horrible. I added a steering stabilizer from BDS and that helped some, and then decided to do the cognito pitman and idler arm support support arm and that was the ticket. Now it drives great....hope this helps.
Best to make sure its not a lemon before throwing a bunch of money at it i found out the hard way
I have a 21 chevy duramax i took factory wheels off put on 18x9 black rhino alpha's and run 235/70r18 toyo rt trail tires to get rid of pavement princess look. Wheel should never be capable of touching a curb.
It doesn’t look any different than stock. At least not noticeably.
Nice pizza cutters.
Can you make a video on the diff. Spacing? Also, how was upper control arm to stop clearance with this kit? I believe this is the kit I'm going with also.
Really should still do upper control arms
