I just installed the SST kit on my 2019. Took the whole weekend, but got it done in my driveway. Next will be tires and maybe wheels, just waiting for my stock ones to wear out, only 14k miles on em.

This is my 2019 Z71, LTZ, 6.2L with GM performance upgrade.

What is your hood height after lift? I’m assuming those are the stock tires (275/60r20) I plan on using this kit but keep the tires and just have a 20x10 -12’s installed.

I have seen a lot of level kits and 6" lifts in the forum but haven't seen any T1's with the ReadyLIFT 4" SST yet so here's my RST.

I wanted to fit 35" on my T1 but didn't want as much empty space above the tires that a 6" lift has. I read good things about the SST kit in terms of quality which is there, and being a much simpler install that can be reverted back to stock is a plus too. Given that the front diff is narrower and the front axles are much longer than on 18 and below models, this 4" kit should do the trick with It's upper control arms to correct the geometry.

Although there wasn't supposed to be any rubbing it was slight but it was there in the front. In the back of the wheel well, I just removed the bracket behind the mud flap and I've got about an inch of clearance now. On the front of the front wheel well it very slightly came into contact with the felt liner. I just drilled a small hole in the liner where it made contact and used zip ties to pull it forward. Lots of extra room now without any trimming at all.

Also, the space between the back of the wheels and the brake caliper rib there is almost an inch of space.

This it what I've installed so far:

1. ReadyLIFT 4" SST lift kit

2. Fuel Vandal 20x9+1

3. Nitto Ridge Grapplers 35.12 x 11.77 (295/65R20)

4. Gatortrax retractable tonneau

5. OEM Wheelhouse liners

6. Removed "Silverado" from fender and added Black and Chrome Z71

7. Installed quality Stubby antenna

I think I'm part of a small group of people here that drives on a dirt road daily so the truck insn't clean in the pics.

That's a great looking truck. Ive got a 2021 LT that I am thinking about putting a 4 in lift and larger tires and wheels that don't stick to far out the fenders. Your truck is the stance and look I've been searching for. Thanks for posting.
