can you provide links for the shocks and the plug in adapters? Having a hard time fronting just the front set up. Even called Magdelete and they only sell all 4 with the OBD2 adapter.
Just a quick suggestion for next time. When you lower it back on the ground, start it up and turn the wheel lock to lock to scrub them down (maybe even roll it back and forth a few feet) before you measure the height. It will take the pressure off the sidewalls and bring it down to actuall ride height. I have installed hundreds of leveling/lift kits on these (including this set up)
Still have enough adjustment to get it back in alignment with the stock control arms now that its leveled? About to order all 4 corners Fox from magdelete to fix my Escalade for the 2nd time. First time replaced the magride, which are starting to fail again after 30k ish miles.
Have a 2016 escalade. I used the warranty I bought to fix thr shocks 3 times, all 4. Now my rears, which always seem to go first, have started up. Now my warranty is up and I want to put a 4-4.5 inch lift that won't push out my front wheels.
Awesome job you guys! I have a 2017 YUKON XL DENALI. My tires are bigger I believe 20 or 22 inch factory. Can I just buy new 18" wheels and tires before buying this front strutts? or keep the bigger ones ? you mentioned in your video the 18" tire wheel combo is a better option? thank you
I'm fixing to do my 18 denali with Fox up front, keeping the air in the rear and replacing old. Also, upgrading both sway bars and links with the Hotchkis kit. Everyone saying the sway bars make a world of difference, especially if you tow anything.
So I'm gonna assume that you did a complete delete and not just the front. The delete kit from the website allows you to keep air shocks in the back but still have to delete the magnaride.
@@richphippsgarage I understand the airshock portion but the rear are both airshock/magnaride. You can delete the magnaride while still keeping the airshock according to the website they'll send you AC Delco airshocks without the magnaride. If I'm wrong please let me know because I can't seem to find the relay/ plugs/switches to delete only the front. I only see the OBD2 plug that deletes both front and back
They for sure ride better than magnaride shocks that are no longer functioning correctly! I’m not sure how they compare to a new magnaride set up. We went with the Fox setup because they are less expensive and less prone to failure.
Honestly not sure.. I imagine that the sierras have a different spring rate due to the different weight distribution between the trucks and the suvs.. the difference between the fox shocks and the stock magnaride shocks is that the fox shocks are statically valved specifically for your application whereas the magnaride system uses a variable viscosity fluid to dynamically change the valving of the shock based on driving conditions which is susceptible to a number of system faults over time.
@@richphippsgarage thanks for the reply. Upon further research I think those will fit my Sierra they quiet pricey tho for the first time in 5 years have to replace parts on my Sierra not a big fan of lol
Great video, I’m looking into these for my 18 Escalade…idk about having it sit that high though, I’d definitely want it lower in the front & throw a lowering kit in the rear to even it out.

Can you please provide part number? Did you remove the uper c arm ball joint?

Is this the same as the 2017 Chevy Suburban premier??
Can you provide more information on the mag delete upfront? Did the system still work in the rear? I don’t want lights on in the dash..
Do you think you could have fit a larger tire? Wondering if you think you could go all the way up to a 34”?
Still have enough adjustment to get it back in alignment with the stock control arms now that its leveled? About to order all 4 corners Fox from magdelete to fix my Escalade for the 2nd time. First time replaced the magride, which are starting to fail again after 30k ish miles.
Yeah it looked like we had plenty of adjustment left so you should be good as long as you are just looking to get it leveled out

My suspensions is squeaking and noisy. Bought the same kit, are you havi g the same issue?
You need to replace your swaybar linkage
Awesome job you guys! I have a 2017 YUKON XL DENALI. My tires are bigger I believe 20 or 22 inch factory. Can I just buy new 18" wheels and tires before buying this front strutts? or keep the bigger ones ? you mentioned in your video the 18" tire wheel combo is a better option? thank you
Thanks! Yeah swapping to the 18” wheels will soften up the ride due to the taller sidewall on the tire being better at absorbing bumps!
I'm fixing to do my 18 denali with Fox up front, keeping the air in the rear and replacing old. Also, upgrading both sway bars and links with the Hotchkis kit. Everyone saying the sway bars make a world of difference, especially if you tow anything.
For sure. Adding or upgrading your sway bar will definitely add stability. Good luck!
did you have to do a magneride sensor delete?
Yup. I don’t think we showed it in the video but the kit had some dummy resistors that plugged into the factory connectors.
Can we get a link?
So I'm gonna assume that you did a complete delete and not just the front. The delete kit from the website allows you to keep air shocks in the back but still have to delete the magnaride.
Nope. We just did the fronts and left the air shocks on the rear
@@richphippsgarage I understand the airshock portion but the rear are both airshock/magnaride.

What about the codes you get? Did you guys bypass it?
no codes, but a follow up video should be coming.
I have a BellTech 2/4 drop on my RWD 2016 Escalade. What shocks would work best for my truck?
for anything lowered I would recommend QA1, but belltech has there own shocks that they recommend.
Did you get any check engine lights since you didn't connect the magneride wires back up?
Will you get an answer, many want to know.
Would those shocks fit a 2015 tahoe ppv?
Why didn't you take the inner fender out and remove the strut ?? Much faster
Well then it would’ve been too easy 😂.. lesson learned, next time that fender liner is coming out!
Is there a set up for the 2011 escalade?
You could do this on an Escalade of the same year then right?
I believe the suspension is the same garbage magneride
Do the fox shocks ride better than the magneride
They for sure ride better than magnaride shocks that are no longer functioning correctly! I’m not sure how they compare to a new magnaride set up. We went with the Fox setup because they are less expensive and less prone to failure.
I need to replace mine now. Thank you!
Would those fit 2016 gmc Sierra Denali and what’s the difference those and stock struts?
Honestly not sure.. I imagine that the sierras have a different spring rate due to the different weight distribution between the trucks and the suvs.. the difference between the fox shocks and the stock magnaride shocks is that the fox shocks are statically valved specifically for your application whereas the magnaride system uses a variable viscosity fluid to dynamically change the valving of the shock based on driving conditions which is susceptible to a number of system faults over time.

Awesome video! Did you guys just do the front? Also where did you get the kit from?
If you search your year and fox 2.0 upgrade, you'll see some options
Yessir 👆this guy and I just did the fronts
@@richphippsgarage thank you both!
هنالك كيبل ماذا عن الكيبل ؟
Great video, I’m looking into these for my 18 Escalade…idk about having it sit that high though, I’d definitely want it lower in the front & throw a lowering kit in the rear to even it out.
Thanks! Yeah they have tons of adjustability so you’ll be able to dial your ride height in exactly how you want it!
@@richphippsgaragehow do you adjust them?
those trucks have maybe 3.08 gears , they are not towers ............ with 32" tires they should have at least 3.73 axle gears to be able to pull
Where did you get the shocks from?
Check out www.magdelete.com
Hello great video👍🏽💪 i need part number and yall to put them on🤷🏿♂️ plllleeeaaasssee
Thanks Ramel! Why let us have all the fun?!
What size are those tires?
They are 275 65 r18
about to throw in some new TRQ magneride ones. when new they are incredible. so gotta disagree problem is they last 50k
Yeah I hear ya. That’s why we went with the non-magnaride Fox setup, seems like they are just less prone to failure.
Been easier if you have spent 1 minute dropping the wheel liner.
Probably, but where’s the fun in doing it the easy way!?
@@richphippsgarage Shit load of screws will take more than a minute
That right front would have been easier if you remove the wheel well liner and go in from the side.
I have a bad habit of doing things the hard way! Next time that’s what I’ll do!
Supper
Iput 17 on mine cheaper tires wheels i bought new not in the hood
😂 nice
U were gonna say the N word!!! 🤣🤣🤣 @ :23
