Following up on my earlier question about using an AT4 front strut assembly to lift a non AT4 4x4 SLT truck...I have done it and here are the results.

Front suspension - stock AT4 strut with 3/8” aluminum spacers under strut on the lower control arm. (I made these on a lathe)

Rear suspension - 2” block kit

Tires - Nitto Terra Grappler 285/65/20 on stock 20” wheels.

This set up has no rubbing at all and has not yet required me to do any trimming.

I have the same truck as you and intent to install a 2'' front leveling kit with 1'' rear block and was wondering which size of tires would fit in the front without rubbing.

Do you know how much your set up lifted the front from original stance?

Thanks .

I’m curious, I have a coil spring compressor and wondering if I could take enough tension off the strut to get the block under it without unbolting the ball joints and such.

Whats everyone’s thoughts on that? This would be on an AT4

Eibach is now taking pre-orders for their pro truck leveling struts. They are adjustable up to 2.5". I pre-ordered mine on the 19th and was told that they should be shipping mid August.

Did you measure your fender wells in the front and rear yet?

No not yet

No not yet

Try that first. That’ll tell you what height you need to make it appear level or close to it.

2" Rough County 1318 level

295/60R20 (34" x 11.7") Nitto Ridge Grapplers

The ride has not changed, and I am very impressed. The truck is perfectly level, and I have no rubbing; it is very close on the upper control arm at full lock. I am impressed with the CV and upper ball joint angles.
