Here is my 2020 1500 4x4 Duramax. I have 2” Rough Country top coil spacer and 2”block on the rear with shock extension I put 35/12.50R20. I trimmed very minimal on the inner portion of the mud flap. Other then that i like the way it sits.

How much space do you have between the tire and upper control arm? I have a 2.5 front 2.0 rear and this looks like a great setup. And you just trimmed plastic and no metal? No rubbing?

No metal at all just plastic... very Very small portion And that was just temporary because I will be doing the mud flap delete on it. And between the arm and tires I have about 3/16”.... I have flex the truck pretty hardcore To test out... and No touching at all from tire to control arm.

2020 AT4, Readylift 2” SST with only the front lift. Rear sits .75-1 inch higher as is. I don’t think I got 2” from the lift. I was at 38.5” from ground to the line where the plastic black fender folds in, centered on the hub. After, with stock wheels/tires, I was at 40”. Now with 33’s, I’m at 40.5”. Wish I had measured from the center of the hub. Anyone have any measurements on a non At4 stock?

I have 2019 AT4 - also did Ready Lift SST kit - front was at 38" (both sides) before, now right at 40" (started at 40.5", but has settled about a 0.25" since).  Rear was 40" - now rear at 41" with rear blocks addded and Method NV wheels, so still a slight rake - without the block it was about 0.25" high in the front (but looked dead level with stock wheels).  I have painted fender flair from GM (not plasstic one like you).

 

Maybe they did not property set the preload, with spacer from SST kit - that should add the full 2", if preload was set correct.  May have that looked at. 

 

Photos below - is first photo after front level with stock wheels - no rear blocks - second is how it sits now with Methods and rear blocks added and third is the truck in stock form 1774283387_LeveledTruck.thumb.jpg.b8535f0f8e583d235494bdb8729f1b63.jpg

 

Methods and Blocks added to rear:

Nice truck! So your rear settled down as well? I wasn’t planning on installing the rear blocks due to the way it sits.

Rear did not settle - just blocks - so no settling - front did settle 0.25" or so.  I agree - like the way yours sits - looks great!

I ended up getting the non-LT 275/60r20 ridge grapplers. I wanted the 275/65/20 or 285/60/20 ridge grappler, but they only came in a LT load rating. I wanted to maintain that comfy factory ride for a little longer. When these tires wear out, I’ll probably go up to the larger size.

I want to go with same level/tire combo you have.  Any concern that using the bottom mount 1” kit will cause rubbing on the CV boot?

2020 Custom 4x4 5.3L
 

2.25” Pro Comp level kit up front. 
 

She’s actually currently sitting .75” higher in the front, so I’m going to add a 1” SDT rear block in a few weeks. 
 

Not for this thread, but just Adding the front level allowed me to fit 35x12.5x20 Atturo Trail Blade X/Ts. No spacers required. No rub. No trimming

It looks like it has plenty of room.

      BAK MX4 EZ-Lift Install and Review

      By parthery · Posted

      I've been eyeing an upgrade to my tonneau cover for a bit now.  Intrigued by the BAK MX4 EZ-Lift with the torsion spring and went for the upgrade.  Thoughts and musings during unpacking, install and a few days of usage.   Once my order went into Realtruck, it took about 4 days to ship.  Unfortunately, FedEx Ground destroyed the box and contents and it was unusable upon receipt.  To Realtruck's credit, one email with pictures and an RMA was sent to me to send the first one back, and another unit was shipped out.  It arrived 3 days later, unscathed.   I opened the box and it looked like every other BAK MX4.   Biggest differences are the rails and retaining clamps, and of course the spring attached to the cover itself.     NOTE - if you are upgrading from a MX4 to the EZ-Lift, you will have to replace the rails.  The EZ-Lift rails have a notch cut in them to allow the new style retaining clamps to fit properly.  The new retaining clamps also have 2 knobs/carriage bolts and there are two tracks underneath the front panel. The strap clips are mildly different (more like the Undercover Flex clamps) in that the screws go in from the underside.  Personally I prefer these over the BAK clamps that use the nutserts that are a nuisance to install.  The remainder of the parts in the box (drain tubes, rail clamps, and bumper pads) are standard issue BAK.     I did not replace my front bed seal at the time because it seemed to be in decent shape.   BAK recommends shims on the GM trucks unless you place the clamps on the flanges about 1/3 of the way in from both the front and rear of the bed.  I shimmed the front and the middle, and initially placed the clamps equidistant.  This also turned out to be a mistake, because when I set the cover in place, the new style retaining clamps wouldn't clear the front clamp.   New style clamp inserted in the track:     And the issue which occurred because the front rail clamp was too far forward:     Once I removed the shim from the front of the bed, and slid the clamp back to the front flange, everything cleared fine.     The cover set on the rails without issue and I installed the strap clamps.  After I completed my adjustments, I pulled the pin to activate the torsion spring.  Mistake #3 on my part.  PULL THE PIN AS THE VERY VERY VERY LAST STEP!  The reason is, once you pull the pin, the torsion spring is activated.  If you have to loosen the front clamps and adjust the cover, the front panel will - by virtue of the spring, refuse to lay down.  The only way to get it to lay down so you can reinstall and tighten the clamps is to fully open the panel against the back of the cab, which will then allow the front panel of the cover to lay down and be tightened.  Not a big deal unless you haven't installed the foam pads yet (typically the last step) because minus the foam pads, you will need to place something between the frame of the cover and the back window so it doesn't get scratched.  The next time I install one I will install the foam pads before I pull the pin and activate the spring.   After using it for a few days:   The spring assist is great.  You literally can open it with one hand.  My shoulders aren't getting any younger and this was part of my motivation to swap out. The second panel latches and unlatches itself as you open and close the cover.  Neat in concept, however it took me a minute to get used to closing the cover and not hearing the "latching" sound that would tell me it was locked in place. The paddle handles are a huge upgrade and I wouldn't be surprised to see them become the standard across the Realtruck line.  They effectively eliminate the concern that a thief could coat hanger the cover open and get to the contents in the bed. I'm not sure why the very front panel on my cover has a different finish from the other 3 panels.  I have a request into Realtruck to find out if mine was not manufactured properly or if it was by design.   All in all I'm pleased.  Same level of protection, looks good, keeps stuff mostly dry (they all leak around the tailgate) and easy to install.
