  1. You sure? Just received in all of my parts last week, ordered 3 weeks ago.
  2. Seems like a lot of money to still potentially have the same issue as any other hitch. How big of drop do you think you'd need to not have the ball/tailgate interference?
  3. Do you have an apple watch? We put my wifes on the bicycle app and it matched waze for me.
  4. This one? https://zoneoffroad.com/2019-GM1500-3.5in-Adventure-Series-Lift-System/C47N More or less the same concept as the Readylift SST that everyone has installed. https://www.readylift.com/4-0-sst-lift-kit-gm-1500-2wd-4wd-2019.html Edit: Tire rack has awesome deals on the ready lift products. $673 for the 4" SST kit. https://www.tirerack.com/suspension/suspension.jsp?make=ReadyLIFT&model=SST+Lift+Kit&group=SST+Lift+Kit&partNum=RL693940SST&autoMake=Chevrolet&autoModel=Silverado+1500+4WD&autoYear=2019&autoModClar=Crew+Cab
  5. What motor? I have the 5.3, I averaged 14 mpg on my 4k mile trip this last week going between 75-82 mph. Was at 18 mpg before the new tires. 285/75/18 Ridge Grapplers. Would expect a bigger drop with 12.50's.
  6. The AT4/TB should have no better CV angles than a non AT4/TB. The GM AT4/TB kit is a glorified leveling kit at the end of the day they're putting on these trucks so adding additional lift is fairly significant without doing a diff drop and correcting geometry. I would plan on something with new uppers no matter what you choose. The factory "lift" does not include new UCA's so i would assume these are shared across the platform. Here is a 2.5" on a non AT4/TB truck that had a failure recently. It was a crack instead of a ball joint so could be unrelated, but too many UCA issues to not replace when adding any additional height IMO. https://www.facebook.com/groups/AllNewSilveradoSierra/search/?query=upper control arm&epa=SEARCH_BOX
  7. Just took this photo. AT4 w/ 2" SST. Angles aren't bad at all. No worse than my 2011 F150 with a 2.5" which i ran for 150k+ miles that way with no issues. I believe i read that on the new GM's they have a narrower diff so longer Cv's and better angles. I do have minor rubbing with the tires at the moment (AT4 w/ 2" SST, 285/75/18 Ridge Grapplers on Stock 18's). Very minimal and only when the suspension is minimally articulated going over a bump with the tires turned. Doubt i'll even mess with it. The one thing i need to check again is the UCA's. It looks like i may have a minor rub mark. I need to clean them off and then go play around at different steering angles and inclines and check to see if it grazes or not.
  8. Get new upper control arms whatever kit you buy since you'll be at 3.5" with your TB. Not worth the risk to end up with a broken upper on these trucks.
  9. You want me to go off pavement ? Honestly haven't checked yet. Next time I go out into COVID world, I'll see if I can find a spot to check. Most "off-roading" I do is the dirt/gravel roads to get to the trail head to ride our dirt bikes so not a ton of articulation this truck will see. @Alex Kemple Have your guys checked when the truck is on the lift for clearance in the past?
  10. Your mom drives like an **** too? ? I ran BFG AT's once, lasted 30k miles...Crap tire. KM2's lasted about 400 miles before I blew out sidewalls in the rocks. Trail grapplers I've had great luck with for trucks and rock crawlers, much better than any other tire I've run on my vehicles.
  11. From my understanding, the 18" AT4 and TB wheels have the same specs. I could be wrong so please double check. Can't find the link another user had posted for all the stock wheel specs. Here is a shot of the clearance between the tire and UCA with the 285/75/18 Ridge Grapplers. It looks a little worse than it really is, somewhere around 1/2" clearance with the tires straight.
  12. Tires should last more than 30k miles. I got just shy of 60k miles from my Nitto trail grapplers on my last 1/2 ton and still had some life left in them, and 50k miles on my F250 before that. Cheaper upfront does not necessarily equal cheaper in the long run. Run what you want, i have zero issue with it, and i suspect most people don't either. I prefer tires and brands that are known to put out quality product, not a small brand i've never heard of that may have weak side walls, known for separation issues, short tread life, etc. Little bit upfront to not worry about the unknown is worth it to me.
  13. Can't do a dealer trade and make a deal else where?
  14. 2" SST 285/75/18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers No wheel spacers. Zero rubbing and no trimming required. Very little clearance at the control arm but no clearance issues.
  15. 2" SST 285/75/18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers Zero rubbing anywhere surprisingly. Very little clearance on the upper control arm but it clears. Don't think you could go any wider without different wheels or addition of wheel spacers.
  16. 2" SST 285/75/18 Ridge Grapplers on stock 18" AT4 wheels Surprised that i have zero rubbing anywhere. Tire is close to the control arm but has enough clearance. Started the install on my radar detector. Need to order the upfitter parts so i can have it switched and all wires hidden.
  17. It's been done. 37's on a AT4 with a BDS 4". (Picture Stolen from Facebook, not my truck) The 37's look like 1 single bump your ripping off the front of your bumper. Like the look, but looks like very little up travel for your tire before it would have clearance issues.

  18. Are they running aftermarket control arms? From what i was finding on my research most were running stock uppers to allow this clearance. I have an image of a AT4 w/ stock 18's with minimal clearance with 285/75/18's utilizing the ready lift control arms. (Pick mine up tomorrow with this set up and the 2" SST). No way a 12.5 will fit w/ stock wheels without wheel spacers when used with the ready lift control arms. Don't want to speak on the others, but the above image that was posted would lead me to believe that would be correct for Rough Country's as well.
  19. That's a lot of work, i just use the calculators online ? https://tiresize.com/calculator/ But good explanation that i had been wondering lately. Never understand why they could just use 35/12.50/20 for all tire sizes. Much easier for my brain to comprehend.
  20. Looking at your username, i'm honestly wondering if you're super high right now or just a troll...
  21. Check FB/Craigslist. There is an entire AT4 interior (dash excluded) on my local FB including console for $1800.
  22. Does this list have duplicates? The F block kit looks like it has the battery cable in it in one of the images. Trying to get a clear part # list, seems every list that's been posted has different quantity and different part #'s required so a bit confused. My truck is a Black push button GMC.
  23. In theory, it should function no different than a lowered truck. Now if the aftermarket components work in harmony or not, that's another story and where a (good) suspension shop is needed. What i don't know is if the Rough country provides a full 6" cross member drop or a 4" and then act as if they have a 2" leveling kit via the spacer above the strut to get the 6" that was the popular thing to do in recent years by the suspension companies.
