Leveling AT4

[Shinbone]

There’s a company on Amazon selling the Readylift for around $398. It popped up when I searched as being the one I purchased for when I did my Trailboss, so I bought it again. It was the cheapest seller I could find for RL.

Hey Wake, do you have a link for the RL lift at $398? $558 is the lowest I've seen on Amazon. Btw, GBO!!

Do you tow or haul anything heavy on the regular? My suggestion is to leave it alone unless there is some legitimate need to raise the front end. The rake is there for a reason. If you put a load on the back, you do not want the nose of the truck pointed up as it sacrifices handling. Pickups are designed to be closer to level under loaded weight so that they can safely tow and haul more weight.

If you need more ground clearance, do it right. Don't take shortcuts on suspensions. Going back to towing; towing and lifting are inversely compatible. The more you lift, the worse it tows.

If you just can't stand that your truck has a rake, go ahead and spend your money making it look like you want it to look. But do consider that there may be downsides.

100% agree which is why I went the bilstein way instead of a cheaper option. The ranchos are terrible so swapping those out improved how my truck towed my boat dramatically.

Awesome, thanks. I realized I was actually looking at the ReadyLift 69-3920 which includes the 3" rear blocks w/ U-bolts, so that explains the price difference. I plan to go ahead and pull the trigger on the full set and add the Bilstein 5100s at all four corners. I put them on my last truck ('09 Sierra 1500 SLE Z71) and loved them.

For the record, I'm now driving a '23 1500 AT4 3.0L Duramax in Titanium Rush Metallic. I've had it for a little over a year, and it's by far the best truck I've ever owned.

Same, except for the color. I agree. I love it. Got the RL put on yesterday and just did the lower spacer and UCA's. Can't get it out of the basement yet due to the solid sheet of ice on the driveway. I need to move it a little and let it settle before I pass judgement. As it sits right now is how I want it...But I know it's going to settle a little. Also the alignment will change it too. I have a plan B if it's not enough.

Here’s the bottom spacer only…top pic. Driven to settle but not aligned yet. It was about 3/4” over stock height. Alignment may take it down a little more. Thinking of having the top spacer milled to equal 1” of lift. (I’ve got a friend that can do it for free)

negative. What set up are you running? Have you retorqued all the bolts 500 miles after install?
