Lift/level w/ new tires

[ahopkins]

I’ve had my AT4 for almost a year now and I love it! I really want to look into leveling it out and getting new tires hopefully! What would be a really good level without hopefully ruining the comfortable ride? And what size tire fits without having to do any cutting?

I'm with you on the leveling kit. Have you found anything you like?

I've got the BDS 2.5" Coilover kit for my 2019 1500 AT4 (https://bds-suspension.com/product?kid=1804F). It's pricey but I love having the BDS warranty. It's also gone up almost $1k since I bought it. I'm guessing supply chain issues. I'm running 33x12.5 on 20x10 -19 offset wheels/tires. Had to do some trimming but not too much. It's basically a 4-4.5" lift on a regular 1500. Still rides smooth imo.

sharp setup buddy! Can you still park in the garage?

 

[reconnaisshaw]

Not in my 8ft garage. I haven't really measured but I also have a lifestyle screendoor that hangs down so it's lower than 8ft.

Love it that’s the exact look I’m going for

Great look! Your pics just sold me on the BDS. Does anyone know if that same set up would work with an 18" rim or would I need a different offset?

 

[reconnaisshaw]

Yeah it will still work on an 18". It's the offset, the wheel/tire width/height, and any spacers that you have to worry about. The taller and wider is where you start to run into problems

How bad are the E rated tires and the coil overs? How much stiffer is the ride? Rough roads does it bounce sideways because of stiffness?

It would also be helpful to know how much of a lift in the front is needed to level the truck? Is it 1.5, 1.75 or 2.0. Ive seen some 2.0 lifts and it almost looks like too much, but it could be the angles the photo was taken....

I am running the Ready Lift 1.75" front leveling kit. I am currently looking into 20" wheel with a 285/60 tire.

I think that looks right. I'm thinking about 285/75 r17. Thanks.

Running the same Ready Lift 1.75” with the upgraded UCA. Front is 0.25” lower than rear which I think looks perfect, especially when you have some gear in the bed. Thanks and best of luck with your install!

Looks great. Question for you and MattB. I have a 2022 2500 AT4 and was looking at the 2 inch front leveling kit by Ready Lift and then adding 285x75r18s or 295x70r18s. After some research, learned that there maybe some issues with the stock UCAs down the road with this set-up. Not sure if I want to start swapping suspension parts quite yet so wanted to get your opinion on that as well as your opinion on just swapping to the larger tire size with regard to rubbing, aesthetics or anything else for that matter that I should consider. Thanks!
