Truxx Lift with Self Leveling Shocks

[Retired-TELCO]

I sent my request in to Bilstein. Hope it does some good.

After struggling with this for nearly two years, I think my squat issue has finally been resolved by swapping out the original rear spacers with thicker ones and installing the just-released shock extensions from Truxxx (2019-2022 Kia Telluride & Hyundai Palisade - Shock Shaft Extension #306006 - Truxxx.com).

A few notes:

• From ground to wheel well it's now 33.5" both front and rear on stock wheels (245/60/R18). Previously it was 1 3/8" lower at rear.
• I25 Kia near Denver is pretty knowledgeable about this issue and has been decent to work with (but not awesome). They are noticing the squat only appears on Tellurides with self-levelling shocks but not ALL of them. No one understands why at this point and there is no way to predict if you will experience the issue.
• I25 Kia has noticed lots of failed Nivomat shocks. When the failure occurs on a vehicle where they installed the lift, they are honoring the warranty; otherwise they are not. I have no idea if this is legal I'm just letting you know their position.
• They inspected my shocks and springs and found nothing wrong.
• My original spacers were from the 2" lift (P/N 306015). When Darren heard my rear was 1 3/8" lower he threw in (for free) bigger spacers. I think these are the spacers they include in the 2.5" kit (P/N 306017) but that's just an educated guess.
• I'm annoyed I had to throw several hundred more bucks at this to resolve the issue, but so glad it seems to be over. I've driven about 75 miles so far and it's still holding level.

I am still one 2021 Telluride owner who is NOT statisfied with the Truxxx product. I think they rushed this 2.5 inch lift kit to market before truly putting it through a trial period.
I'm holding out for more professional product.

Thanks for the info. By "they are honoring the warranty" are you referring to that if I-25 Kia installed the lift they will warranty the Nivomats, but not warranty the Nivomats if there's no lift?

I'm not happy at all with the Nivomats on our Telluride. The rear suspension squeaks all the time. The rear suspension feels "loose" when going over bumps in the road, to the point that the vehicle feels like it is not in control, which is very unnerving.

And I stand by my statements also.

Sorry that wasn't clear. They are honoring the warranty for all Nivomat failures EXCEPT for vehicles with a lift that was installed by someone else.

has anybody installed the updated truxxx lift for the self leveling shocks? Just curious as to if it really addressed the issue?

I haven’t seen any issues or sag that has been reported before. Check my post to see some pics.

2022 Telluride Stock Lift vs TRUXXX 2.5” Lift

For myself would like to see between a 3 and 4" lift on the vehicle vehicle that would make it worth it for me to purchase new tires.
My concern would be the sensors but I think that's the sweet spot when I got my extended warranty on this vehicle it covers up to a 6" left though I would not put a 6" on here.
I have the factory toe package but would like a better set up with the professional lyft unless this company makes one bigger than I would have no problem putting a compressor and air with bags Plus at that height it would justify getting the runner boards. Definitely not something I'm going to rush into until I find a product that I truly like.

Yup, Toyo Open Country AT3, 245/60r20.

Would these tires work withOUT the 2” lift? Love the look.
