SST 4" Lift Question

[paxamus]

Hey guys,

I am about to pick up my 21 1500 LTZ Diesel in the next few days.  l was planning on going with the 4" Readylift SST with the stock wheels and 295/65R20.  Does anyone know what is the total height of the truck on this lift installed?  I ask because I park in a parking deck at work and cant fit if over 7'.  I have looked and looked, but can't find an answer

 

Thanks for any input

Hey, so I have a Trail boss with a 2" SST lift kit (pretty much the same as a stock +4). I have 35X12.5R18 (pretty much the same height as the tires you listed) and my truck measures 80 inches to the fin. Just 4 inches short of 7 feet. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the input!  That is just what I needed- I could not get any input on the actual height of the truck

This is my post from Nov 2019 when I did my ReadyLift +2 inch lift kit

 

 

 

 

Ok guys, I did it.  I installed the lift this weekend and my Trail Boss is noticeably higher up than it was stock.  I am now running 35x12.5R20s on a total 4 inch lift.  My rims are 20x9s with a 0 mm offset, however I added 1.5" spacers to stick the tires out even more.  They sit about 3 inches past the fender line and it really balances out the truck nicely.  Without the spacers there was a very minimal rub only at full lock.  To run the spacers, I trimmed the first wall part of the mudflap (see pictures below) and with the spacers there is only a small touch at full lock now which I have no problem with.  The truck rides fantastic, even better than stock and is super stable around turns.  See below for pictures and before/after measurements.  Best thing is I still fit in my car wash (monthly subscription) which has a 7 ft clearance.  Parking garage wise I believe it will be tight fit, especially with speed bumps for the 7 ft ones but a 7' 6" garage should clear easily.  As always, any questions just ask.
