Should YOU Level or Lift Your AT4/TRAILBOSS? ( PROS & CONS )

[@rixZR2]

Wow, love how to approached this video, kept it real and not coming off as someone trying to prove themselves. Many thanks for sharing your experience, and keep it up. I reached out to Ready Lift about the 1.5” leveling kit made for the ZR2 and the reasoning behind the 1.5” is so you can run it without the UCA. I put 1.5” wheel spacer on my 24 ZR2 and the tires rubbed passenger front finder. The 1.5” leveling kit solved the issue, now I’m thinking I need to take it back to the shop and replace the 1.5 kit with the 2” or 2.5” via UCA.

Ready Lift 1.75” leveling kit with new upper control arms. Good to go. No worries. 👍🏼

[@johnrossi8542]

Glad I seen your video - I was gonna go with the cheaper leveling kit for my 2021 chevy trailboss - these trucks are not cheap - so I gonna go with the 1.75 lift with the upper control arms - your abosutly correct - don’t be cheap - thanks

never believed in love at first sight, but then i saw your truck. Emma stole my heart

[@duckaneer1]

Sweet truck, love the color

Did the zone off road 1.75 level kit for my trail boss. It comes with heavy duty upper control arms. Can now fit 34’s with new wheels with 0 offset.

[@cwdrummercwc4128]

I attempted the 1.75 level kit with 34/11.6/20 tires on a +24 wheel…installation was a no go as the tires were right up against the control arms Back to the drawing board.Issue was the offset so need to get a wheel with a better offset

[@davefowler7146]

After your info on not using “auto 4w” I’m gonna stay stock. Good video..thank you for the honest no bs review

[@pyrorye-80]

Did the motofab 2.5 front 2 rear on my slt sierra 2020. Lasted 1 year and both ball joints started clunking on the upper control arm. Just installed the proper motofab upper arm that corrects the angle. Heavy duty ball joints. Works with factory wheels too!

[@larryschwetz795]

Thanks for the info I have a 20/20 AT4 which I just purchased and even the GM dealer told me about the inadequate rough country and was going to install it without the upgraded control arms . Information is very helpful thank you

[@steviejams1]

I added the 2" Ready Lift Kit on my 2020 AT4. This thing is squeaking like a 72 Ford. Squeaks with turning and going over speed bumps. Anyone have recommendations? Help!

[@alceja3522]

Any updates on your squeaking ?

[@steviejams1]

@@alceja3522 retightened all the bolts, regreased the joints. It has been without squeak for now. 4WP did order me a replacement for free but wanting to charge installation fees $400.🤔

Good looking out TY

Hey there - John again - went with the reddi lift sst kit - the truck is amazing - still have the dura Trac - stock tires - truck does not ride like it was stock - is it the tires - what do u think

[@englandboys5132]

Mine snapped yesterday just like the picture you showed in the video… not sure how much it’ll cost me. After it’s all fixed I’m for sure getting the sst kit with new UCA’s

[@gr7523]

Nice truck, gonna just put bilsteins all around with the 5100 series. Front struts are adjustable so it will level out with no issues and they are a big upgrade over the shitty ranchos

[@auroras1kk]

I just got a 2500 lol so I’ll look into it!

[@manuelsantos3355]

Just got my AT4 Carbon pro edition, thanks for the video.

[@MrDutch1e]

This is why I only went with the readylift 1.5" level for my SLE. Felt if I went with 2.0-2.5 I'd need control arms. 1.5" keeps me between stock and at4 lift heights. I believe they use the same control arms so should be safe. Knock on wood.

[@chrissmith3500]

I’m going with ready lift 1.75 kit- with control arms- 285/75/r18 only leveling my 21 AT4 diesel .. I chose this so I Won’t loose my 4W auto correct? Please any help would help ty

[@auroras1kk]

No you never lose it but it’s still advised to it manually and go into 4Hi 4 low yourself because 4W auto shifts fast and could cause damage because of changing quickly but I used it a couple times had no issues also with 18’s you will be super close to the UCA’s which won’t cause an issue but just so you know. If you’d like to run spacers you can or go up to 20’s. I have 18’s and no issues off roading or daily driving

[@Lifehackz137]

I got a 2.5 leveling kit on my 2021 sle 5k miles always using it and its good like new

[@auroras1kk]

@@Lifehackz137 SLE & AT4 are not the same that’s the reason 4W auto is not recommended for the AT4

Great video. Beautiful truck! Appreciate your advise.

[@albertbalderas5482]

Did youre 35s x12 rub on the uca once installed without a wheel spacer just asking cause im triying to do same for my trailboss 1.75 on 35s but no spacers i have 17x8.5 0offset

[@auroras1kk]

It does not rub but it is super close but I think it’s closer than most because of the thick side wall from the mt’s

[@MegaSpooke]

You are running with 35" right? If you are... do you have any rubbing issues and if you did, did you had to do some trimming ??

[@auroras1kk]

No no rub at all ! & no trimming either :)

[@gene6870]

Hello Aurora, would you be willing to give the shop that did your lift, I want to do my 22 TB with the same kit and it seems like you are very happy with their work? Thank you in advance

[@BigLou19]

I took my 2021 Sierra AT4 to a local shop and I asked for a level kit. I showed him the list of mods I wanted and on it, it said “Ready Lift SST 2.0” They installed just the damn spacer or whatever that is. I fucked up because I didn’t know what I was looking at. I should of done my homework. I called the shop and told them my concern and they said it was safe. It’s only unsafe when going anything higher than 3-4 inches higher. That’s when you will run the risk of the tire popping completely like in the picture you showed. Is it true ? Anyone ? I measured the spacer they installed under the Rancho shock and it measured 1 1/4 so that means I had 2” factory plus 11/4 = 3 1/4 “?

[@auroras1kk]

That’ll only happen if you don’t install new upper control arms but the ready lift should have UCA’s so you’ll be fine :) the spacer doesn’t matter just make sure you always check your lug nuts :)

[@jackc6051]

I have a quick question..... The CV joint (I think that and the axles for the front rear 4x4) angle I am thinking is going to be off enough to eventually damage it. Is that correct???

[@watchmanexpert]

can run 35 with ready lift ? how is u mpg now ?

[@Sj26.98f]

How’s the ride quality long distance compared to the factory lift

[@lukemcd8621]

What if I wanted to run 4inch lift by rough country then also bought new upper control arms for the 4inch lift to get a total of 6inches of lift. Would that work or is that a stretch. BDS makes a 4inch with upper control arms but is pretty pricey, I wanted to know if running a rough country lift with aftermarket upper control arms.

[@auroras1kk]

That would work rough country also makes a 4 inch lift for a total of 6 inches it’s made for the at4 and comes with skid plates and coils

No difference in my opinion, I mainly drive city and get 18-22mpg before and Currently my average right now is 20.2 but I have the 3.0 diesel so I know with the 5.3 & 6.2 you do experience a difference! & thank you! 🙏🏼
