I was thinking of the Readylift 1.75 but i'm not 100% sure i want to trust it. the AT4 is basically a regular seirra with a 2" already added so adding another leveling kit just seems like a way to prematurely wear our the suspension or CV's 

 

BDS 2.5" is actually a 4" lift and eventually thats probably what i'll end up doing.

Do you have a link for the BDS 2.5”? All I see on the website is a 4” coilover system.

I was afraid that was the one you were talking about. $4k x_x

It's the coilover version so that pretty much doubles the cost

Nope, no one has ever put one on, want to be the first? Just to be sure let me search and see but I am thinking not. 

 

 Just a few found when searching. Chances are if you are thinking it then it has been asked already and the answer is out there...

They have two options at half the cost with alternate shocks - the mid package with the Fox 2.0, not piggyback shock is a nice middle ground.

 

I did Ready Lift SST kit - did not pay attention to their note you are "not recommended to use 4WD auto"  I paid more attention to it after talking to someone who toasted the front diff, due to shifting into auto 4WD on the fly - no warranty coverage - so if you are going to use your truck "offroad" or want the benefit of auto 4WD - then you need to go with a kit that lowers the diff to protect the factory geometry.

 

Had I done more homework I would have gone with BDS right away to fully address the problem - plus you get some added skid plates and stronger overall connections - so the kit improves your truck on every aspect - where the "level" kits simply level your truck and may compromise your truck long term for wear on CV axels.  You get what you pay for here. 

 

Here are the base BDS options - that are not $4k and a you tube video showing differnt shock options.  $2K with Fox 2.0 - $1.8K with NX shocks (similar to Rancho).

Here is my truck - leveled with Ready LIft SST kit, when it first when on (bottom pic and the after I added wheels - stayed with stock tires for now.  SST kit comes with 0.5" taller block for rear to made it fully level.

Thanks for the pics. I have a 2021 1500 AT4 and just had the SST 2 inch kit installed. I love the look of the kit and rides ok. I say ok because the ride isn't as smooth as before. More bumpier than before the kit. Everything else is OEM and I'm wondering if it is worth the 2 inches now. I plan to put Nitto 33's with 22x10 (-18) 4 Play wheels on it and need it to fit the 33's. Just seeing who else have had the same issue.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

      Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
