Has anyone attempted to put 35x12.50x20 on their truck with this lift? 

 

The wheels I am looking at are 20x9 with a 1 offset or 20x10 with a -18. But ReadyLift says 20x9 0 Offset and 35x11.50. I'm assuming that requires no cutting or fabricating? I think wider is better (obviously not always the case) but its hard for me to visualize the 20x9 and 1 offset. How much poke would it have? How much cutting/fabricating would I have to do to get the 20x10 and 35/12.50's?

Wider isn't really better unless you are doing real soft surfaces.

The 4 inch kit explicitly states no off road use soo.

With the wheel wheel restrictions I would just stuck to their spefications.

Their pic is with 20x9 0 offset 295/65 R20, 11.5s

Red one is with 12.5s had to trim the wheel wheel corners with a sawzall.95a2f18649b9529db0f02d67dc4c84b7.jpgb2c0819edfad3ae4a47fee6205d1a25d.jpg

Interesting that the 2" SST material for the AT4 & Trail boss doesn't state this...

ReadyLift Kits in general are not recommended for any high level of flex. Yes they can be used “offroad” at the deer lease or a dirt road but if you’re planning to go wheeling with your vehicle I strongly recommend a full suspension setup such as BDS, FabTech, Icon, etc

Not all too much. We do this at my shop pretty frequently. Most trucks it’s just fender, splash guard, and liner trimming. Some trucks require having the crash bar cut (Namely F150s) but I haven’t experienced that at all with Silverado 1500s

"This kit is not compatible with Trail Boss, AT4 or Denali editions. Use of Auto 4 Hi feature not recommended.....Note: NOT intended for off-road use or abuse."

It didn't say that a few months ago.

I assume, since we know they max out the driveline angles (reliability unknown yet), It's probably a uphill full lock off camber turn on slickrock for instance. Or if you somehow manage to flex it to where it actually picks a front and rear wheel off the ground.

still curious why ReadyLift is so insistent on not using Auto high I know the first generation autotrak xfer boxes from like 2001 era had some clutch issues. But I'm not aware of any now.

@topgear1224 I don’t plan on doing much off-road with this. I have a RZR for that ?.

 

i ordered the 20x9 fuel rebels with 35x12.50x20 ridge grapplers. Should be installed weds or Thursday. I’ll post pics

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!
