The install is doable with a couple people, but if you have access to a lift (rather than jack stands) it will be much easier.

You'll also have to get the knockouts from the dealer to do the alignment.

Love them Wheels!

So, in summary, if those of us who have autoride put the ReadyLift 1.5" spacers in the front to level our Tahoes we should be fine?

Even without doing anything to the back or adjusting anything regarding autoride?

Timgco, you mentioned getting the "knockouts" from the dealer to do the alignment. What are these?

For anyone, my brother in law talked with a 4x4 specialist that just does lifts about a leveling kit for his '08 GMC pickup and said that there would be problems down the road with just doing this spacer lift. Said it isn't worth it to go any less than something that moves the lower arms and the whole sh'bang. Anyone have any input?

Timgco. Do your 33's rub at all?

Here's 2" spacers in front and 1" spacers in the rear. I have the LTZ with Autoride and autolevel and I thought the back was mandatory.

Also running 285/55/20 BFGs on stock rims.

I thought that after the kit, there was too much sway so I added Hotchkis sway bars and it really helped flatten out in turns.

Does anyone know who makes a rear sapacer for an LTZ. I know the Truxx does, but I have not heard much about the product. any help would be great.

Conor, Belltech makes a 1" rear spacer. Good enough to ridden of any Cali lena you may have due to the front level!
Its available at StylinTrucks but you should shop for a good price.

This is a 2007 Z71. It currently has the 1.5" lift. Putting the additional .75" on this week. I am running 285/65/18 Nitto Terra grapplers. Little rub on the front left due to the windshield washer fluid box. I hope the extra .75" will fix it.

Very nice, I'm setting up to do the same, did the extra lift take care of the rub? thx - Dan
