I considered the Ready Lift setup but it wouldn't work for my desires.  It only allows a 33" tire which is same as OEM so it would serve ME no purpose as I wanted to run 35s.  I don't understand why someone would go thru the effort and expense to only be allowed to run stock sized tires.  I guess if you're happy with 33s and just want to level it's a good option.  Additionally, the Ready Lift control arms prevent running a wider tire compared to the OEM arms.  The Ready Lift ball joint housing extends out farther contacting the tire compared to the OEM arms.

I had the RC 2" , I kept seeing the UCA failures on FB and such all the time , didnt take any chances with mine, I like this truck and myself to much to cheap the f... out on a set of UCAs, personal opinion aside, they do fit 35 in height. Toyo Open Country AT III.

i just installed a AT4 kit (UCA as well) with an almost level stance and there was a guy at the shop who had a TB that was leveled and said he blew out his upper control arm....the owner had mentioned about him when i first went in to get a quote

 

granted this wasnt a lift shop but they were clueless about new GM trucks tbh.....well now they arent, lol.....

 

stock arm is pretty puny and pathetic for a truck this size and if you decide to 4 wheel it, i dont see how they can take it.....it looked like it was made out of coke can. pretty cheaply made part imo

The tires he put on are 285/75R18 which are basically 35s.

These pigs are not made to wheel, way to big and weak for it imo, especially the 19 to current models.
