ReadyLift # 69-3488 SST Lift Kit is designed for use on 2007-2013 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 4x4 trucks. This particular kit was originally designed for use on the Z71 package equipped trucks but it will fit any K1500 series Chevy or GMC truck as well. This lift system significantly increases ground clearance while allowing for tire sizes up to 33" on aftermarket wheels. The most common tire size for this application is 33x11.50. 20x9.5 with 5.25" backspacing requires no fender modifications. 17x9 +0 offset on a 285/70R17 will fit with no rubbing. With a 295/70r17 minor trimming/modification required.
The ReadyLIFT 69-3488 SST Lift Kit will raise the front of 2007-2013 Silverado/Sierra 1500 4WD trucks 2.25" in front. The included CNC-machined billet aluminum strut extensions bolt directly to the top of the factory strut. Unlike some kits which require you to cut off your strut studs or break the top hat seal which are irreversible modifications, ReadyLift strut extensions require no modifications to be made to the strut in order to install the extension. This guarantees the strut will maintain the factory integrity as well as drastically reducing installation time.
The highlight of this kit is the fabricated steel upper control arms that feature 1" UniBall pivot bearings. These uniball pivots are the strongest pivot (joint) you will find on the market anywhere and include an exclusive custom machined aluminum seal cap to keep dirt and debris out. This is ideal for those in snow or sandy areas. But that's not all! This kit also includes newly designed UCA inner bushings and new washer backing spacer sleeves which greatly prolong the life of the bushings. If you plan to off road your truck or drive in aggressive road situations, this is the kit you want!
The second important product that makes this kit possible is the Patent Pending CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum differential drop brackets. When raising the front suspension the differential must be lowered to maintain front axle and CV angles. Readylift has engineered a differential drop system that cuts installation time in half compared to other similar kits. Unlike other differential drop brackets made from steel plate that bend and can cause CV failure, CNC-machined brackets cannot ever bend, break or cause any driveline problems when using 4WD mode. That is guaranteed! Accompanying the patent pending differential drop brackets is a thick powdercoated plate steel skid plate that utilizes the factory attachment locations for ease of installation while providing tough differential protection when off roading.
To lift the rear of the Silverado/Sierra pickups this lift system includes 3.0" OEM-style cast iron rear lift blocks and u-bolts. The ReadLift 3.0" rear lift blocks include the correct pinion angle correction and axle locating ears for perfect fit and performance. This block will the factory 1.25" rear block for an increase of 1.75" which will provide approximately .5" of rear to front rake. A slight rake is helpful for towing or hauling.
Completing this great new lift system are a set of steel rear shock extensions. No need to replace your great-riding factory rear shocks with inferior aftermarket shocks. These new shock extension brackets keep the rear shocks in the factory mounting position which means your truck will ride great! And that's important!
