It's lifted!





After much research and thought my truck is done! I will start out by saying after 4 New lifted trucks I've owned this is the only one that truthfully rides as good or better than stock. I am extremely impressed with the ride!
I went with the 6" Fabtech radius arm kit with Fox 2.0 shocks and dual steering stabilizer. My lift installer said everything fit absolutely perfect and was very impressed with the kit.
I went with 22x11 Fuel krank wheels -24 offset. It was a little surprising that there was pretty bad rubbing.. The lower plastic piece under the bumper needed significant trimming and there still is a bit of rubbing. For anyone wanting to do there's but not deal with rubbing issues stick with a 10" wide wheel and somewhere between 0 and -15 offset.
overall I'm very happy with how it turned out. The truck is huge! I've had two dodges on 6" lifts a 2015 Denali on a 6" and a 2008 GMC on a 8" and this one is the biggest of them all.

Nice!!!!!!

Nice job on the truck lift and tires. I went with Fuel Kranks as well but in a smaller size, 18x9, +1 offset. I have gotten a ton of positive comments on the Kranks. Pricey, but they sure do have a nice look to them.
Couple of pics of them on my 2016, no lift.

Can you you post pics of where it was rubbing and where the trimming had to be done? Absolutely beautiful!!

did you have to push the bumper out at all?

also I have to ask do you feel the factory powersteps come down low enough or will you be replacing with the amp xl?

That's not the Fabtech radius arm kit from what I can see. Look like you have the stock radius arms still.




To the OP, are you running 37s or 38s?

The second truck black truck on the thread is running the stock radius arms and there's nothing wrong with that at all.
Im running 37x 13.50's.

very nice truck!! I'm jealous of yours not rubbing. The 22x10 wheel I was going to go with was on a major back order so I went with the Kranks.

Thanks, not saying there is anything wrong at all, just clarifying since he said he went with the same lift.

How did you get the fox shocks with the kit, I dont see them as an option? What is the truck height now?

I'm a few months out from getting my truck and I'm trying to get everything lined up with my lift and wheels. I absolutely love this set up. However, therein lies the issue. My wife thinks it's too high and I think it's perfect. Is there anyway you can get a measurement to the bottom of your door for me so I can give her an idea of how high it will be please?

Very nice looking. It all matches up so well. I wouldn't lift mine due to the fact that load height is a big factor with my truck, but man do they look good lifted,

Thanks! I got a lot of my inspiration from your truck. Plus we both came from 2015 Denali... pretty cool 👍
