LTZ Auto ride lifts???

[tommyk012]

New to the forum here looking for some information to lift my 2011 4x4 ltz.
I'd like to go 4 inches with 33's but having some trouble finding a lift that accommodates the auto ride system without spending bookoo bucks. Any help and pics would be appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance!!!!

I know the Fabtech kit works with auto ride, but I would go with 6" and run 33s. It looks good and like this denali.

Yea im not crazy about that look. Like the stuffed look with some stance. Really want a 3-4 inch lift without spending 2500 bucks or more on the lift alone

Get the CST lift then and it costs a pretty penny but is by far hands down the best 4" kit!!! No track width increase and only other kit that offers it is the bulletproof 10". It looks great with stuffed 34s on 20x9 +12 offset.

Same lift but 32s on 20s

Thanks for this. This is pretty much what I will have to go with to lift my LTZ with auto ride.

I was planning on installing it myself until I saw the part where you have to cut part of the frame

Its not that bad, you can use a metal hand saw just takes a little longer. I use a porta-band for clean easy cuts. I love that lift though!

I have 33's on a 4" front and 3" rear leveling kit. Install was 250 and kit was 450. Not too bad.

Is it possible to do a 2.5" front and rear with the LTZ auto ride? I kind of prefer to keep the factory rake.

 

[01Konvict]

Yes you can 2.5 Front and 1" rear with auto ride

 

[Jonah52]

you want a 2.5'' front and 1.5'' rear since the autoride trucks sit a touch lower. This wheel leave you with just a touch less than factory rake, but not leveled completely so you can still haul some stuff without sagging.

 

[riggz]

So is it not possible to do a 2.5" rear?

 

[01Konvict]

Yes it's possible but you will def need some shock spacers and will prob get a service suspension light. You will need to extend the ride height rods on all corners for it to ride right

I've seen some mention of the trimming the pinch weld. Where exactly is this trim made? I have the factory power steps and I'm thinking that these might get in the way of larger tires...

 

[01Konvict]

Never heard of the "pinch weld" but maybe thats a reference to the rear travel rod weld joint... I don't think the boards will get in the way but maybe just the front corner when wheels are in full lock
