Ready Lift 1.75" Leveling Kit, Tire size?

[RideHigh24]

I just installed the Ready Lift 1.75 with UCA's. Stock 20" wheels on 1.75" Coyote spacers. I removed the stock flaps and installed Rocklox rally flaps with Lund fender flares. I did have some rear inner arch rubbing prior to adding the level kit. All good now and after an alignment the set up feels good.

Did you install the upper and lower spaces? If so, did it give you 1.75" of lift. My rake is about 1.5" so I'm thinking of going with just the upper spacers. ReadyLift said that would provide 1.5".

Thanks.

i would do the 1.5" if you want it to LOOK leveled and not nose high. the body line make the 1.75 APPEAR to have a slight sag...but the rockers are dead level.

i need to go grab some good level ground pics...but take my word ( ia m very particular in HOW it looks)...i need a touch up in the rear.

it will also be getting a slightly more aggressive tire very soon. these have 9K miles and look soft (to timid, and they are my fav tire) to me...

So, did you go 1.5 or 1.75" Looks good!! What brand tire you currently running?

If I’m not mistaken the top spacer is 1.25 and the bottom is .50 but I may be wrong.

Well crap. I'm going to have to measure again to be sure I'm at 1.5". I mean, really, will losing .25" make a big difference probably not. RL said if you want to achieve 1.5 go with just top. But didn't say if it was 1.25, I just assumed 1.5.

And again, if 1.25 it may give 1.5" of lift. Doesn't make sense but I installed 3" coilovers on my Tundra and the front gained almost 3.5"

My RL just arrived today for my AT4. I’ve posted it before but on my Trailboss I initially just used the top spacer and left the bottom off. Got the alignment and drove to Birmingham from north of Chattanooga. I didn’t like the feel and when I studied it parked I didn’t like the look (my preference). When I got home I took the top spacer off and just used the bottom. I didn’t measure but from a looks standpoint I liked the bottom only look better. Gave a little lift but not completely level.

Top only:

Bottom only…aluminum trailer attached with no weight on tongue though.

I plan on doing bottom only on the AT4, BUT: I have the extra top spacers from the Trailboss and if I can find someone to do it I may see if I can’t have them milled down to about 3/4-5/8 range, thus splitting the difference between the 1/2 bottom and 1 1/2 top spacer.

Visual appearance OCD is a terrible thing!

I measured the rake on the AT4 and it’s 1 3/4 exactly. I don’t want it completely level so hopefully the lower only will get some of the rake gone without flying the nose.

This is when I first got it…parked here it looks fairly level.

But in this pic after a”few” changes it’s too much for me!

I also apologize for the somewhat thread derail!

I ran and have now 275/70-18’s and don’t have any RL UCA rubbing with stock wheels.

I'm with you, it looks nose high in the pic with the top only. Looks more leveled with just bottom. But, in the stock pic of the AT4 is looks level and then has rake after your changes.

I believe I'm more confused now that when I started. First I'm going to have to measure and see what my rack is. I did it quickly so it may very well be 1.75" and not 1.5" Some one earlier said that using both puts it exactly level by measurements but with the body lines it looks nose high. And we're in the same boat, visual OCD, right there with you. I'm more concerned with it looking level versus being level. No one is going to pull out a level or tape measure.

You installed yourself? How bad was it if so.

According to RL they have not verified the 1.75" for the '24 models. But that seems to be a lot of companies saying the same thing.

So to clarify I haven’t done anything to the AT4 yet. The first pic is when I came home, and the second is after the wheels were powder coated and the 275/70’s were out on.

As for the install it’s fairly easy and if you are mechanically inclined it’s a piece of cake. Just have the proper tools and follow the instructions. I obviously did the TB twice as I made the changes. It’s not hard at all.

I’ll put the UCA’s and the lower spacer on sometime within the week and post a new pic from the same spot and see how much it changes. Hopefully it will be enough.

Oh yea, just saying that without doing anything the first pic of the AT4 looks like it's been leveled and the 2nd pic looks like there's rake even though both picks are stock.

Glad to hear. you did say you installed the new UCAs too on the TB? Also, did you have any issues with cameras, sensors or headlights?

Definitely post the pics. I'd like to see.

Thanks.

Be careful of not installing upper control arms. I had a GM guy tell me the stock upper control arms are almost maxed out with the 1.75 leveling kit. He did recommend buying the control arms as well. Ready lift has got a 1.75" level kit with upper control arms for $499.00.

Yes. ALWAYS do UCA’s when leveling TB or AT4. There were no issues with anything. Don’t overthink the addition, just do it!

I know I know. OCD on that perfect look.

Any adjustments to lights, etc.

Thanks again and can't wait to see new pics.

No adjustments. Didn’t notice enough difference to make it worth while.
