I'm going to install a leveling kit on my 2022 GMC 1500 AT4 which has the factory 2" lift. I need more room for my 35" tires. Here's my choices:

and this:

https://www.roughcountry.com/gmc-leveling-lift-kit-1324.html?find=2022-gmc-sierra-1500-4wd-793318

My truck will be in the shop next week to have the Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks installed, and I thought it probably wouldn't be much more work to install a leveling kit while they have the truck apart. I'd prefer the Ready Lift kit to the Rough Country kit, but the Ready Lift kit is $130. more and I'm not sure the Ready Lift kit is available.
What's your opinion?

I'd go with this one IMO

IDK where you are in Minnesota, but my grandparents used to have a summer house up in Park Rapids, right on fishook lake. Your pic looks a lot like their place did!

Loved Minnesota - the norther part at least (not knocking the rest, I really just know the northern part), because that is where we spent time - but it is cooolllldd in the winter. I live in Montana (for the past 22 years - I am a native of northeast Nebraska), live at 6100 ft on a mountainside, and it is cooolllddd here 8 months of the year. 6 months of the year literal winter weather. But Minnesota in the summer was great, winters are likely a lot like it is here where I am in Montana. Those are memories I will never forget though, spending 3 or 4 weeks of the summer at my grandparents place, fishing, swimming, etc. I really need to get back to Park Rapids some day, hit that cool candy store on main street, and also the amazing fishing/hunting shop real close to the candy store. I wish I could go back in time and relive those days growing up spending summer months at my grandparents on Fishook lake in the Park Rapids area!

A BTW - your truck and lift looks great!

Two Nebraska people here then (and I know there are others)! Nice area for your cabin!

did you buy your RL directly from them or another place cheaper?
I got my Bilstein B8-5100 bought for the front, did you use the lowest setting with your RL?

I found mine on amazon ....killer deal right now.
My installer recommended using the preload spacer and keeping the shock at stock height!

I’ve been running the ReadyLift leveling kit for 11k miles and it’s been fantastic. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to level off their AT4.

I went with the Readylift SST 2.0 with Bilstein 5100s myself and I’m happy with it.

Looks good! Can you give me a ball park of what the cost was?

The kit, 4 tires, rear Bilstein 5100s installed a little under $4k.
