Hello, trying to get a little feedback from anyone who have installed the ReadyLift SST 2 inch kit on their 1500 AT4.

 

I have the SST kit installed on my 2021 Sierra 1500 AT4 and rides fine in 2wd. I understand ReadyLift doesn't recommend driving in Auto 4Hi, which is fine. ReadyLift says it is fine in 4Hi or 4Lo, however I'm getting vibrations in 4Hi. The shop who installed it, does a lot of work with lift kits, etc., and they have checked just about everything. 

 

Wondering if anyone else having this issue with 4Hi on the AT4. 

 

Thanks

its either angle of cv shafts (4" is lot for standard geometry) or its interferring with boot/cv axles is my guess.......shouldnt have a problem running any 4WD mode if done properly....I have heard of issues with Ready Lift TB kits and 4WD modes.....it would concern me if a company says our kit hinders normally functioning operation of the drive system.....something isnt right

 

I would check out those 2 things

You lost me with this quote?

 

I agree with Dunn, how did they get a GM approval if there are issues?

It sucks for sure.  I have researched a ton and it appears the only way to do this and not have issues it to drop the differential.  BDS makes a great 4" kit but you are going to spend about $3,000.  I looked at the readylift for my AT4 but just can't pull the trigger due to the stress on the CV's due to the angles, the diff has to drop.

Or just but a drop kit..I haven't found many though just by themselves....maybe BDS/Zone will sell them independently but good luck getting ahold of them

@Rackumrack Yeah, I may take the @readylift SST kit off due to the cv angles and ride issues.

@JimCost2014The quote is on @readyliftwebsite. https://www.readylift.com/at4-trail-boss-plus-2-0-sst-lift-kit-gm-1500-at4-trail-boss-4wd-2019.html

May be a dumb question, but did you double check to make sure the shop installed the correct kit, The 69-3920 SST Lift Kit works with the factory 2" front lift.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
