Look for the Readylift post watch the video. I had already heard people were have issues with lifts on AT4’s and Trail Boss. Remember geometry back in high school.

That’s also why MotoFab has a design specific for the AT4 and Trail Boss.

It’s one thing with another...Readylift is correcting the balljoint angle with their upper control arm but stretching the cv angles more with a 2” raise as oppose the the Motofab 1.5”
I have read one case on here with complications on the motofab kit but it was a 2” spacer.

Finally had time to install my motofab 1.5” level kit. Really happy with the look. I thought the front tires were going to look too small as they are only 32.3” tall but I can leave with the look until they wear off. Will be aligning it pretty soon. Overall 1” of rake and happy with the stance :)

I just put some 35s on. They are rubbing slightly. If I install the 1.5 motofab leveling kit. Will it help it. Or should I just drop down to 33s?

I think it could help. Worth a try. Order it from ebay. $22 shipped

Wow, that would be a shame if the AT4/Trail Boss's have issues with the Readylift 2" lift with UCA's.  I just installed the Readylift 4" SST lift and I have no issues at all.  I haven't hear of anyone else having issues with this kit on their 2019 T1's either. Is it something specific to the AT4/Trail Boss platform due to the factory 2" lift?

I just did a Motofab 1.5".  It was hell to get in on the first side, then I realized that there was a 3rd upper strut mount hidden back there with crap mounted to the stud that needed to be loosened to be able to move the strut around.  Once I did that, it was a breeze to install.  The other side took me 20 minutes.  Mine gave me just a hair over 1.5", call it 1 5/8".  I wanted a little rake, and that leaves me with just under 3/4".  I am very pleased, and glad I only did 1.5" because my alignment was still within spec on all measurements.  These pictures don't do it justice, this looks a ton better in person, zero noticeable ride difference.

AJ, are you saying you didn't have to wind up getting an alignment with the 1.5" kit? They threw it on the rack and it was in spec so they didn't have to adjust anything? 


Thanks!

Yes.  All that I can think is that mine may have been a little off in one way, (I didn't check it before I installed the kit) and this one just moved it the other way, but still within spec.  This does not mean that you can get away with not checking it, or that yours will do the same.

Hear ya there. I will get mine checked regardless for sure. I have read some of the folks that installed the 2” level the truck wound up sitting nose high. I need to measure mine to see the difference between front and rear as it sits now, but thinking I’ll wind up with the 1.5” kit.

      Winter Returned

      By OnTheReel · Posted

      .30” of rain all month and it’s been weeks since that. “Mowed” our two properties today for the first time since July 2nd. It only took 30 minutes because all I had to do was level some weeds and saplings in a few problem areas. Everything else is dead.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Dealer reported a failed shifter module assembly so the whole shifter is getting replaced. Yet another premature repair… up to $12,000+ in extended warranty payout in only 5 years and 80,000 miles!

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      According to the dealer it’s an internal leak/failure of the compressor.  Again, another failure that shouldn’t happen at only 5 years and 80k miles.  For some reason the compressors must be hard to come by right now, because the truck’s been at the dealer almost a week and they just located a compressor at another dealer several states away today.  We’ll see if this fixes the issue.

      Brake Bleed Procedure

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a reply on this thread or a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - ACDelco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles. When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so i did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance.

      I wasn’t commenting on your post. Certainly wasn’t arguing. I was making an observation on my long term experience with supposedly proper length of driving for proper heat cycles. Works for me. Although I have seen water or vapor come out of exhaust when vehicles weren’t run very long and shut off. It’s very humid in the morning. Then hot and humid.
