ReadyLift is proud to introduce a new SST Lift Kit system for the 2007-2016 1500-series Silverado/Sierra 6-lug 2WD Trucks. Increased requests from customers wanting a true 4.0" Lift Kit for their new body style Silverado trucks encouraged ReadyLift research and development to engineer the only 4.0" completely bolt-on lift kit on the market today. We call the 69-3285 4.0" SST Lift Kit System our "stage three" kit for the late model Silverado/Sierra pickups. ReadyLift currently offers 1.5" and 2.25" front leveling systems for the 2007-2016 GM 1500 trucks. With the development of the 69-3425 4.0" SST Lift Kit we now have a lift solution for every Silverado owner.
The 69-3285 4.0" SST Lift Kit, just like the 69-3485 4WD version, is the result of over six months of extensive product development followed by rigorous on and off road testing. ReadyLift's goal is to provide a true 4.0" lift kit that is completely bolt-on; no drilling, cutting or welding required. This system significantly increases ground clearance while allowing for tire sizes up to 34" (34x11.5 on factory wheels). The most common tire size for this application is 33x12.50 (max). In order to install a 33x12.50 (305/55/20) with aftermarket wheels, some minor trimming of the inner fenderwell may be required. Customers can now have the lift they have wanted but wasn't available - until now!

The ReadyLift 4.0" SST Lift Kit will raise the 2007-2016 Silverado/Sierra 1500 2WD trucks 4.0" in front thanks to tough trail-proven 4.0" powdercoated steel strut extensions that 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, our rugged 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.
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. Our new trail-tested control arms will provided additional clearance and correct geometry to allow for increased suspension travel.
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!
Speaking of riding great, it is ReadyLift's philosophy that every lift system we manufacture should maintain and/or improve the factory ride when installed and used as recommended. The ReadyLift 69-3285 4.0" SST Lift Kit will make your truck ride and handle great while providing the raised height you have been wanting. Every one of our test vehicle owners have commented on how great the truck rides both on and off road with this system.
Like all ReadyLift products, the 69-3285 SST Lift Kit System is protected by our Limited Lifetime Warranty.
NOTE:
If you intend to run the stock wheels and tires, a wheel spacer is
required to prevent the factory tire from touching the control arm at
full locked turn. ReadyLift has developed a CNC-machined billet aluminum
wheel spacer 15-3485 for use with factory wheels.
