However, this truck with its suspension upgrades and tire/wheel combination, rides extremely softer/smoother than my recent 2017 GMC Sierra Denali with leveled suspension and 33 inch Toyos and 22 inch stock wheels. Not sure if it's because of the Rancho coil/overs or what but my 2020 is night and day as compared to my previous Denali. 

 

Glad to hear it, the truck I drove was a 4WD GMC Sierra (dealer loaner) with Rancho shocks and 22's like yours.  I was suprised at how poorly it road in comparison to my AT4.  The Rancho shocks the TB and AT4 have are not the same as the Z/71.  The TB/AT4 have monotube Ranchos's vs the Z/71 having twin tube Ranchos.  You can read more about differences on the link below:

Just added this kit I have no issues in 4wd auto 4wd hi or low and 2wd. Truck works like a charm. The picture of the cv the guy showed st the top must not have been properly installed. My cv looks nothing like that. But I also don't shift on the fly anymore so that's probably where the issue is. Running 275/65r20 right now. Adding 285/65r20 bfg ko2 next week with a 2 inch spacer. Also removing the side steps and ordering rock sliders. The cv is angeled up because I'm parked on a bump in my drive on flat they're perfectly straight.

I have the same lift - I stayed with 275/65/18 Duratrak wranglers that came on truck - but swapped out wheels to Method.

 

Be aware that Ready Lift does not recommend you use auto 4WD with this level kit - from website "NOTE:  Use of Auto 4 HI feature not recommended" - due to having customers who have damaged their front diff using it. 

 

they say you can fit "AT4 - Max tire 305/55-20, 20x9 0 offset wheelTrail Boss - Max tire 295/65-20, 20x9 0 offset wheel"

 

As you can see they make no statements for 18" wheels - here are some photos of clearance to my upper control arm - about a finger width - so you can't go much wider than 275, without getting a spacer or wheels with different offset than stock.

 

Note in my last photo the angle of cv axel - not ideal.  

 

Do a search on AT4 and TB and there a lot of threads on this topic and many have gone larger - but the wheel well is tight and the spacing as well to the upper control arm.

Do you issues with the CV angles? Do you have more pictures? I just got this kit installed and the angles look off.

    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
