Curious to see how all you guys are liking the 4” SST. Picking up a new 20 and it will need to be lifted. I currently have a ‘17 with 295/60/20s and I want to have a similar setup. So just looking for an update on how this kit has been performing

I have seen a lot of level kits and 6" lifts in the forum but haven't seen any T1's with the ReadyLIFT 4" SST yet so here's my RST.    I wanted to fit 35" on my T1 but didn't want as much e

Went with a zone 4 inch and 35x12.50 on 20x9 with +18 offset    zero rubbing, zero trimming

My honest opinion.... i just made a 1k round trip with my trailboss with the sst and 35s. It rode like a champ and i got 19 mpg consistently going 80 mph and got 22-24 going 65 mph. 

 

Look wise I think my truck looks amazing however, i will say that cause my 35s fill out the fender wells so much and the trailboss already has a lift and 32ish" tires that it sometimes doesn't look lifted. I ended up finding an amazing deal on 20x10 +0 offset fuel rims with 35x12.5 tires. The wheels definitely stick out a little past fenders but not much. I may throw a set of 1/2" spacers on there or eventually change over to a -24 offset rim for more of a stance. For me i think i had a different vision in my head. Does it look bad ass and get complimented? Of course. Especially with my tow mirrors it looks as big as if not bigger than a 2500.

 

Functionality and performance wise its great

Just installed the kit yesterday and mounted the 295/65/20 nitto Ridge. I couldn’t be happier.

How is the acceleration and towing power on you guys effected by the lift and tires? Does it feel sluggish? Thanks 

I havent towed yet

 

But daily driving i dont notice it at all. Took a long trip the other day through the mountains couple hours of ups and downs with zero issues. Felt no slug or like i needed more power. No crazy downshifts or anything either.

After installing the 4" kit did anyone have to adjust their headlights?  I bought my RST with the Ready Lift already on it just a few weeks ago and so far have only driven at night once and i bet i got flashed 10 times in that short drive.

 

If anyone did adjust was it just as simple as turning the screw or is there much more to it?

 

Thanks.

 

Quick update:

Adjusted my lights down about 2 inches and that seems to have solved everyone flashing lights at me.

I noticed today that the inside of my front 295/65/20 tires appear to show some signs of rubbing the upper control arms.  its not bad, but you can see where the tire is shiny looking on the inside.  I'm guessing this is happening when I'm at full lock.  Is this anything to be concerned about other than now knowing to not make a complete locked turn?

I wanted to fit 35" on my T1 but didn't want as much empty space above the tires that a 6" lift has.  I read good things about the SST kit in terms of quality which is there, and being a much simpler install that can be reverted back to stock is a plus too.  Given that the front diff is narrower and the front axles are much longer than on 18 and below models, this 4" kit should do the trick with It's upper control arms to correct the geometry.

 

Although there wasn't supposed to be any rubbing it was slight but it was there in the front.  In the back of the wheel well, I just removed the bracket behind the mud flap and I've got about an inch of clearance now.  On the front of the front wheel well it very slightly came into contact with the felt liner.  I just drilled a small hole in the liner where it made contact and used zip ties to pull it forward.  Lots of extra room now without any trimming at all.

 

Also, the space between the back of the wheels and the brake caliper rib there is almost an inch of space.

 

This it what I've installed so far:

1. ReadyLIFT 4" SST lift kit

2. Fuel Vandal 20x9+1

3. Nitto Ridge Grapplers  35.12 x 11.77  (295/65R20)

4. Gatortrax retractable tonneau

5. OEM Wheelhouse liners

6. Removed "Silverado" from fender and added Black and Chrome Z71

7. Installed quality Stubby antenna

 

I think I'm part of a small group of people here that drives on a dirt road daily so the truck insn't clean in the pics.

I’m curious what running boards you have on? Thanks

I just installed the SST kit on my 2019. Took the whole weekend, but got it done in my driveway. Next will be tires and maybe wheels, just waiting for my stock ones to wear out, only 14k miles on em.

 

This is my 2019 Z71, LTZ, 6.2L with GM performance upgrade.

I've been curious on this kit. Readylift states 4wd ,however Im almost confident that this will work on 2wd as well? Any one know for sure?

4wd has cv axles and 2wd doesnt.....its easier on 2wd

Ready lift is telling me this kit will not work on the 2wd . Anyone know why?

makes no sense.....cv shafts are only difference, most kits are for either model.....there are peeps who have already done it on 2wd, almost positive.....check youtube ive seen them i believe

I agree.ready lift told me that the 2wd and 4wd models use different struts? Can anyone confirm this?

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
