ReadyLIFT is proud to introduce a new SST Lift Kit system for the 2007-2013 1500-series Silverado/Sierra 6-lug Z71 4WD Trucks. (NOTE:
Does Not Work With AWD Denali Trucks - Will NOT work with 2014-UP
trucks. Not for use with Non-Z71 trucks - For all 07-13 Z71s it is
imperative that they measure vehicle prior to purchase. There must be a
2.25 to 2.5 difference between the front and the rear.
For information about tire and wheel sizes please visit the ReadyLIFT Tire Sizing and Calculator Page.
The
69-3487 SST Lift Kit is designed for use on Z71 trucks. Z71 front
suspensions have a taller front strut than non-Z71 trucks. In order to
achieve a lifted ride height that is comparable to our popular 4.0" lift
height, less front lift is required. By lifting the front 2.25" in
front, Z71 trucks will sit at the same lifted height as a non-Z71 truck
with our 4.0" lift kit. This 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. Note: This kit requires the use of Aftermarket wheels.
Two key products were developed to make achieving a lift kit without
modifications a possibly. At the heart of the system is our all-new 100%
DOM tubular upper control arm. This new heavy-duty control arm features
OEM-style ball joints pre-pressed into a strong crown that retains OEM
geometry throughout the suspension cycle and doesn't require any
modifications to the spindle. That means no drilling or machining to
make the ball joints fit the spindle. The new control arms include
90-degree grease fittings to insure the life of the new polyurethane
bushings.
The second important product that makes this kit
possible is our 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, our CNC-machined brackets cannot ever bend, break or cause
any driveline problems when using 4WD mode. That is guaranteed!
Accompanying our 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. Our 3.0" rear lift blocks include the
correct pinion angle correction and axle locating ears for perfect fit
and performance. This block replaces 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!
Like all ReadyLIFT products, the 69-3488 SST Lift Kit System is protected by our Limited Lifetime Warranty.
NOTE:
The ReadyLIFT SST Lift Kit is designed for use with Aftermarket Wheels
with a backspacing of 5.25". If you intend to run the stock wheels with
an aftermarket larger tire, a wheel spacer is required to prevent the
tire from touching the control arm at full locked turn. ReadyLift has
developed a
CNC-machined billet aluminum wheel spacer 10-3485
for use with factory wheels which have the stud pockets cast into the
wheel next to the lug holes on the back side of the wheel.
To run the OE/Factory wheels AND tires, you will need to use the "ReadyLIFT 1/2" Billet Wheel Spacers for use with OE/Factory wheels and tires".
Not for use on AWD Denali Trucks.

NOTE:
The choice of aftermarket wheels and backspacing is important in order
to avoid tire contact at full turn. Some minor inner fender plastic may
need to be trimmed in order to accomodate wheels with less backspacing
than recommended or tires wider than 11.50"

At ReadyLIFT we design our lift systems for proper fit, and that
includes tire and wheel fitment information. Our goal is always to
provide the maximum tire size that will fit without any clearance
issues. We do not recommend that you install a larger wheel/tire than
what we recommend. However should you decide you want to run a larger
tire such as a 305 or similarly larger, the fender lip (front
fenderwell) will have to be modified. This image below illustrates how
some customers have modified their fender lip and liner to provide
necessary clearance for 305 tires.
