Need help! So, I just purchased a 2019 Suburban Premier 4X4 6.2L. It has Magnetic Ride “Magneride” up front and Auto Leveling in the rear. I’m torn on how high to lift and not absolutely “open a can of worms” and/or ruin reliability. I originally thought I would do a leveling kit and run 33’s on the factory 22x9 wheels. However, now I really think it would look best with a 6-inch lift and 35x12.50’s on the factory 22x9 “snowflake” wheels. I’m concerned also with how the 6.2L and 10-Speed trans performs with the 35’s? I’d love to have any input from experience you may have. Here is what I have found so far.

BDS:

Offer a 6 inch Suburban lift with Auto level suspension BUT, I would have to order the 6-inch Front kit from their Denali Sierra W/Magneride to make the front work. States it will clear 35’s

Fabtech:

Offers a 3-inch “basic” kit that does have UCA’s and says it will clear 33’s.

Also offers a 6-inch suspension that states it will still only clear 33’s? Any experience?

Suspensionmaxx:

Offers a 1.5-2.5 inch leveling kit for Magneride vehicles and should still clear 33’s. Since Fabtech includes UCA’s, I’m wondering if just the front leveling kits will cause UCA angle issues?



I contacted McGaughys and they gave me a short answer (as if I were not educated on my question) that said “Magneride is the Auto Leveling suspension”

 

Hi, so i have 2016 suburban LT 4x4 without magnaride (2015-2019 are all pretty much the same) but the suspension maxx kit comes with brackets needed for magneride equipt vehicles, i install the 2.5” spacers in the front (4 shims on top of strut and 1” spacer below strut) and 1.5” coil spacers in the rear. The front kit only changed the angle slightly with zero issues during alignment and it does not have any bad angles that look bad or sacrafice ride quality. It rides exactly the same as when i bought it factory height just looks so much better. I currently am running NITTO 305/50r20 with a 20x10-19mm offset wheel and i have zero rubbing issues. The 305 is a 32.8” tall tire and is 12” wide. Just a tip, i also have a 2016 silverado 1500 with a 6” BDS lift and the engineering in the kits these days are unreal and basically keeps factory control arm angles and when installed correctly will no hurt the vehicle at all.
