Readylift. No rubbing issues at all. My wheels are 20X9 +18 offset.

Awesome that's my exact setup. ready lift with the stock 20 Denali rims

If you don't mind, I think a good indicator of the actual lift of this would be to measure the difference between the two bolt holes for the lower control arms on the drop crossmember

 

Once my steering stops falling apart I wouldn't mind getting this lift

Per my research, this is a true 5" of [spindle] lift up front, and 3" out back.

Was wondering how long the install took? Im sure a professional shop that has done these lift before is quicker than one that has not.

Sorry for the delay, will try to get some more pics from underneath this upcoming week or weekend. And as for the install time, I had Les Schwab install my lift. Dropped it off one evening around 6pm, and they had it finished the following night. Actually, their guys stayed 2 hours after closing to finish it up. Schwab lifted my 95 Silverado 1500 Z71 I used to have, they lifted my current Jeep (1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ), and now this current truck. I have not had a single issue with anything on any lift they've done. They go above and beyond.

What leveling kit did you have on with the 295/60/20s?? I'm looking to get those exact size tires and was wondering if you had any rubbing issues?

 

Do some research on that tire size... Had a buddy that bought that size and they had a hard time getting them aligned and balanced. He wore them out in 15k miles. Ive been 30k on my 35's so far. Im in evans also!

For what it's worth, and I'm not calling BS on the previous poster, but I had absolutely zero issues with balancing or wear with my 295/60/20's.

Hopefully I'm going to get that size tire in the next month or so, I'll have them test fit before. I can't fit 35s and feel like 33s will be too small so I'm going to meet in the middle with the 34 X 11.50s.

2015VORTECZ71 thanks for the info on the 295/60/20s. I got the new nitto ridge grapplers installed today and had no issues with rubbing. They fit perfectly!!! 3b3cb0554934979ba14811b34036460a.jpg4c83e54f0fdb841abcf78203db343102.jpgd34612c77aa5b238f535ead4b40127d5.jpgaca3ae8484887f994b064ad4a2f5172c.jpg

I have 2.5" leveling kit and just put 295/60/20 which is 34x11.50s with no rubbing but I'm running stock Denali 20s with a positive offset. Your rims are 0 offset so it will be harder to fit that bigger tire, but I'm sure it will be a really close fit. Are you willing to trim at all?

Looking at your clearances do you think a 285/65 (34.6X11.22) would fit? I have a '16 High Country that has been leveled as well with the stock HC wheels.

      Feeling Vibration and Jiggles in 2024 HD Gasser Steering Wheel

      By Policeoff01 · Posted

      Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.
