awesome thanks!! I want to get a little bit taller tire (275/65r20) so maybe that helps out some?? Hell I don't know anymore lol

That's a possibility too, but they just look sooooo skinny. I've considered 285/60 but it may too much and there isn't a lot of options in that size. 

 

Trust me, I've had the truck for 2 months and I've been researching for the perfect set up for probably a year lol. I think I will mimic MallCrawl's set up. But Faulken ATW3

Love the new stance and the ride is great.

I had intended to use another company's relocation brackets for the magneride (Readylift doesn't make one) however after installation, the thicker tubular UCA placed the ride sensors right back in the stock position. No relocation bracket needed.  I couldn't be happier with the new setup. 07d6a08f7348f55a3bf1c237745d972c.jpg

This is the exact same kit I just installed today on my 2018 Z71 and the height in the front after the install was about 1/2” taller than the rear. I took it out for a drive and after the front was still 1/4” taller than the rear. I’m wondering if this is the reason they say it won’t work with the Z71’s? Z71 is the same as the All-Terrain package isn’t it? I did see a note on a website that stated if the wheel hub to top of the wheel well is 22” or greater then the lower strut spacer is not needed only use the top. Mine measured just under 22” but maybe I still need to only use the top spacer? Any thoughts?

Were you able to get the alignment back into specs?

Do you have any rubbing?  I am also about to buy this kit for my stock 17 Z71. I don’t drive it much and don’t put many miles on it so it will be awhile before i have to install new tires. I really don’t want to drop 130 on spacers I don’t need.

With the stock tires, no rubbing at all. With the tires I went with, 295/60/20, definitely rubbed, but I did the full NorCal mod and no more rubbing.

Guys, which upper control arm versions did you receive with the kit?  The new (without grease fittings in the bushings), or older (with grease fittings on/into the bushings)?

 

i just received a kit with the new version, and there isn’t an Allen head key or etc., to stop the bearing from spinning when fastening the nut down. Did you guys have any issues installing with a jack/jack stands?

 

any tips?

Hey guys I’m looking to find the right kit for my 18 Silverado but I’m big on angles. I know A straight suspension lift would be the best option for all angles but it isn’t realistic for me rn. Could you guys possibly provide the angles you guys are running with the 2.25 level w/ UCA’s.

Following thread. Just bought strut spacers and am concerned with CV angles and Ball Joint angles. Thanks for posting.

 

I just bought a supreme suspensions 2.5" front and 2" rear. The kit comes with differential drop kit components. Supreme's website says 2.5" + may require the differential drop kit. At 2.25" lift i would think it should be ok, but if you're doing higher speed in 4wd and use it a lot I would guess that it will prematurely wear those joints out because of the increased angle.

Here is my setup, Readylift 2.25" front, RC forged UCAs, 3" rear blocks.

 

Rake is now 1.3" which is fine for me as I didn't like the previous "leveled" look. Furthermore, side steps are now exactly parallel to the ground.

 

Downtravel is almost as good as stock with RC UCAs,  & drivability is very nice compared to 3" front spacers installed before !  Since pics taken I put back rubber bumpstops for smooth operation. No more "clunks" !

Hello fellas.  I'm about ready to purchase and install this same exact kit for my 2018 Silverado CC Z71 LTZ.  How are all of yours holding up since your last posts on this?  Any issues?

I had the Readylift 2"25 kit, without the ucas,installed when I bought my 15 Sierra all terrain dblcab.Then installed 275/65-20 KO2’s. No issues for over 100K. Now present day, will be installing the 66-3086 RL kit on my new 19 dblcab limited because of the stamped steel ucas. Will be running the same tires as well.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
