For anyone considering a level or lift i highly recommend the Readylift SST kit. It comes with new upper control arms. Everything i researched this is the kit people recommend cause it comes with new upper control arms

 

I fit 35x12.5 on 20x10 +0 offset with very minimal mud flap trimming. 

 

With the tow mirrors it makes the truck look so much bigger almost like a 2500.

Yes, the SST 2.0 (Trail Boss/AT4 model) lifts the front 2” (to combine with the stock 2” lift, for 4” total in front) and the rear 3”. So it lifts and levels at the same time. It’s a really good kit, we sell a ton of them in my shops

Yes that’s more what I’m looking for... I’m going not  install the RC leveling kit , paid to much for this truck to put a risking leveling kit ... thanks for the info.

As far as their leveling kits go, I haven’t heard of too many problems. There’s only so much that can go wrong with a solid piece of metal. But if you’re gonna do it, might as well spend the extra money for a SST kit so you get the full lift and level experience. I absolutely love ReadyLift. Some of the best quality suspension parts for super cheap compared to some of the premium brands like BDS or Icon

Yes I agree ready lift makes a great product, the cv axle angles is something  I would worry about...basically  4 inches of lift .. I guess that’s why I was considering a smaller level such as the 1.5 RC...

Well if you are doing a level on a trailboss/ atc you are doing 3.5" of lift up front without new UCAs to correct angles... vs the readylift kit which makes 4" total with an UCA specifically made for it. For me that's what sold me. They waited before releasing a kit and they also make a kit for non TB/ AT4. For the price i think its a good deal. Havent heard any issues yet. Ill keep people posted.

I need some help from the group. I have an AT4 with the 2” Readylift leveling kit on it. I am looking to put new tire and wheels on it. Here is were I need help. Is anyone running 12” wide rims on their truck?  I am looking to go with 20x12-44 rims with 35” Nitto Ridge Grappers.

You can certainly run that fitment but expect some major rubbing. I'd strongly recommend the much more common 22x10 set up which you can accommodate nicely with just minor plastic trimming while still achieving a nice stance. Keep in mine our fenders (AT4) are not as open as the Silverados and even the Silverados require a good amount of chopping to accommodate 22x12s.

 

I'll be more than happy to assist you either way, feel free to pm me if you'd like to further discuss.

Thanks for the input. I did go though the other forums and I think you are right a 10” wheel looks good. On a 20x10 I have seen a couple of different wheels I like. One has a -19 the other a -25 offset. Any trouble running those offsets on my truck?

Just noticed I mention 22 meant to have said 20, my bad. Same advise applies though as the width and the offset are the contributing factor. I'd stick to a -12 thru -18 offset on a 10 width and that's also where you would find most wheel brands target. Check out the below link of a truck I just posted, it's running 20x10 -18 on 35s, It looks Amazing!

    • It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is. 
    • I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.    
    • Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
    • If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.
    • It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.
