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 ?.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.

      Wiring Help, Please

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
