What up peeps. So I am new to the lift game and I am having trouble going back and forth between lift kits and wheel size. I've seen the sticky wheel post and the tire size but I haven't found what I am looking for so I was hoping to get your help from your experience. There is just so much to consider when you look at lift high, wheel size/width, off set, back spacing. I am looking for that 'just right" look. 

 

I have a 2019 Iridescent Pearl White high country 6.2l 4WD and I want to put 35's on it. I was looking at the ReadyLift 4" SST kit with 35x11.50x20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on 20x9 Bronze Fuel Rebels. 

The ReadyLift Kit says 0 offset but the 20x9 wheels come in 1 or 20 offset. I dont want the tires tucked in the wheel well. I am ok with them sticking out a tad bit. Do I need spacers? Do I go 20x10 and cut? I've seen the black one that custom offset did with 20x10 and 33's with a -18 offset on 2.5 lift. 

 

What is the feedback around the ReadyLift Kit? I considered the 6" kit to get 12.50 tires and 20x10 wheels but I ruled that out because I figured the 6" would give to much wheel gap between wheel and fender. 

I know everyones experience is a little different but I appreciate all feedback. I've read where the ReadyLift kit is good and I've read where the geometry doesnt add up and your CV's are put in jeopardy. 

 

Just looking for some guidance.

Figure stock offset on 9" wheels is 24 or so so you would be pushing the wheels out about an inch. I've seen people fit 35x12.5s on stock wheels with a 3.5" lift. But going 11.50 wide wheels instead of 12.5 might give you just enough clearance

On my denali, I have the stock 22s and will be doing 285 55 22s with a bds 4" and will clear no problem

I have the ReadyLift SST on my AT4. Adds 2” to the OEM 2” lift so I’m at 4” total. I did change the UCA which really helps with geometry. Over 3k miles so far on this setup and no CV or CV boot issues or wear that I can see.

Running 20x9 with 0 offset. 305/55/20 (33x12.5)

Poke is about 1-1.25” with no spacers. 5e5abaf46707242132652b6b15fdcfa1.plist701e03be73e9f2389d5442beff5979d6.jpgb9b13fe5a27a134330fd0cafadac25fa.jpgb6292247b72bcbedcdd48cb80be79758.plistdacee03077e145ea558b8a21f52f23d0.plist73b0e751944f73c084a14f331f9d3045.plist

@loud_pipes I just realized you're running at 12.50 tire. So you have no rub issues? From what I was told I needed a 20x9 and an 11.50 tire. On 35's, maybe thats the difference?

Yep, that’s definitely the difference. You need 11.5 on 35’s. That’s specifically why I went with 33s - I wanted the extra width of the 12.5.

0 offset is basically  the same as 1mm offset ( only 1mm difference) lots of rims offer that offset and not actually a true zero just so you know.

[mention=125934]Dirtbiker[/mention] Thank you. I looked at fuel's website and they show 20x9 is either a +1 or +20. But the 20x10's go to a -18.  
 
[mention=204031]BlackRST[/mention] Did you do a lift or is that stock? 

That's with a 2" readylift level kit up front. Sits level... .125 difference front to back. I highly recommend that kit based on quality and finished product specs. I didn't want to go with a full lift because I daily this, with my fiancé and 2 big dogs I don't want them jumping in and out on a lifted truck as they got older.

any issues with the readylift level? Trying to decide between readylift bottom spacer or the rough country top spacer.

      287,500 Mile Service   8/13/2026   Reset Fuel Trims   Since the work done in the previous post there was a good improvement in response in all areas except right after a fill up where the LTFT would go -20%+ for about four miles while the STFT was near neutral. Before the work they both went very negative for a few miles after a fill up but act normal thereafter.    We did a systems check of the vapor recovery system for functionality and ability to hold a vacuum. That checked out fine. But this doesn't mean the charcoal canister is dead in the water. Testing that is next up. For now the reset of the fuel trims.    I intentionally shorted the fill exactly two gallons to eliminate any chance of filling the canister. On start up the trims were behaving normally until I got up and rolling where the LTFT went -10 / -11%% but the short was + 2 to 0%. Within a mile the the STFT offset the LTFT and by 2 miles they were neutral. HUGE improvement but still not hunky-dory.    I'll watch them for a few days. Perhaps another tank where I will fill completely to 'first click' and compare. Meanwhile on the hunt for a new canister and I'll toss another purge value at it for good measure. Pending the outcome of the canister test that is. Progress of any kind is welcome.    Fuel economy improvement with bringing hole #3 back to the living was a noticeable bump to the positive. Even on the few miles I drove after the refill I already see another bump up by the trims reset.     She's purring like a kitten with a warm bowl of milk.    BTW, adding 50 rpm to the idle took the majority of the negative timing out on cold start up and leaned the cold idle. No longer burbles in the cat. What a dumb way to heat a cat.

      Yeah, shame I can’t really get that filter easily anymore. Running a PureOne. Your fave!    TAN would be neat to see. Confirmation I ran it too long probably. 🤣

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By superdave160 · Posted

      My son and I both bought new trucks in 2017. Both of us immediately put Truck Covers USA American Roll Covers on our trucks. My son still has his truck and it never sees the inside of a garage. We live in Alabama, so not much snow. My truck was my daily driver and was in the garage when I wasn't driving it or at work. No issues with either cover even after almost 9 years. About a year ago I sold my truck to my brother and bought a 2025 Silverado 2500. The second thing that I put on that truck was a new Truck Covers USA cover. They are very well made and have a very positive locking system. I looked at a Retrax and my concern was the way that the cover locked to the rail. BTW, the first thing I put on the new truck was step bars. Those new trucks are high!

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

      The Allison 10 speed torque converter doesn't "lock up" like the previous transmissions. It has 4 operational modes; open, slip, transition from open to slip; transition from slip to open. I have an Edge CTS3 monitor and I monitor transmission torque converter slip. Step on the gas and you get a little slip. Take your foot off the gas and you get a little negative slip. I have not found a way to display the torque converter mode beyond that. My Edge CTS3 also displays something that our trucks should already display, the current gear. I also monitor throttle body position and engine load. If I see the engine load getting too high, I'll manually drop a gear.

      Nice result. Your filter is working well  I'd have like to have seen the acid number for this sample. Curious type that I am.
