Ready Lift 2.5"/1.5" Pictures

[TexasTahoe2010]

Hey guys, I am new to the forum and I am looking to put a nice kit on my Tahoe. I have a 2007 Black z71 with LTZ rims on it currently. I know there are alot of threads with lift questions/tire questions and I have been on here for a couple of months now...

Would anyone be able to post a Truxxx or a ReadyLift Kit with 305/55/R20's? I am maybe looking at the 285 BFG's or the 305 Pro Comp Xtreme A/T's.

Any input would be awesome. Thanks guys.

ready lift with 285's

I did the Ready Lift about 6 months ago and put 285 BFGs all around looks good but will probably go back and add wheel spacers next to finish it

Thanks! Tahoe looks nice! If you run across any of the nnbs ones looking around would you post? Thanks!

IM running the CCM kit with 305/55R20. Here are some pics for you:

 

[TexasTahoe2010]

Wow, that looks REALLY nice. Thank you so much for the pics. Do you ever have any rubbing with that? Also, is that the standard CCM kit that everyone on the site is using..your height looks a lot bigger than most... Thanks for the pics!!

 

[davez71offroad]

Thanks, yes that is the same kit that everyone is running. It is a really good kit and I have recommended it you everyone that I know who is leveling there Tahoe. As of now, I dont rub at all. I had to trim a good amount of plastic but never any metal.

Before I installed the kit I was going to put a suspension lift on my tahoe but it got way to pricey with tires and etc. I spent under 2000 for the tires and the lift to be put on with the majority of the money spent on the tires.

Here is a pic to see somewhat of the trimming that I did.

Thanks for the help...I really want to do that lift and tires... I just didn't want to trim a lot. B ut I guess if it is not that bad then i will go for it. So you would recommend the 305s over the 285s?

dave how do you like your BFG's on your tahoe?? i used to have a f150 and i had them on there and i loved them and i am planning on putting them on my tahoe as well. the only problem is that they are very pricey for tires. did you buy them from a local store or a store online??

Gotta say your truck has inspired me. I was going to go with 18" wheels but the 20" look damn sexy.

Thank you for the compliments guys I appreciate.

TexasTahoe - I went with 305's over 285's mainly because of the Rims that I have would allow me to run a wider tire and to fill the wheel wells a little bit more with tire. the size difference isn’t much I think the 305's are like .7" wider or so. The only bad thing about 305's is that they cost a little bit more and will make your mpg go down.

tmbassball - I really do like the bfgs alot as far as off road and stuff. the only down side is that they wear on the sides alot so you have to rotate them constantly and they were pretty pricey because of the 20" rim

w33m4n - go for it i promise you that you won’t regret it.

Hey Dave, what psi are you running at. Based on your wear it seems like it is on the low side. FYI I am running the Nittos at 45 psi.

 

[TexasTahoe2010]

Hey guys, just wanted to post a pic of my Tahoe. I have posted some but I really like the site and thought it would be appropriate. Think the ccm + 305's will look decent with the stock LTZ rims?

 

[davez71offroad]

Zed - Thanks for the advice, they were running at 35-38 so i filled them to
50.

Texas - that combo will work great. Keep in mind of the trim work that will be needed. Your probably going to have to trim the front air damn.

go with 305s and some trimming will look ****.

 

[TexasTahoe2010]

Yeah I am thinking the 305s. My only hesitation is the trimming... Is there much of a difference between the 285s and the 305s? I have 275s right now and I wouldnt wanna spend all of that money just to go one size bigger...

 

[davez71offroad]

it really depends on what you want and what your willing to spend. I know a 305 is a 33x12.5. 285 is like 11.5-11-7 wide. The trimming isnt that bad. It is all plastic and I used a sharp razor blade to trim everything in the matter of 10 minutes. The only hard part is the front air damn. You will need a drimmel tool to trim the tabs off that hold the air damn in place.

My advice would be to go with 305's because if you go with 285's you might think they arent big enough and want a size bigger. I know cause i am speaking from experience cause I did that before I got my 305's. And besides the 305's make the truck look beefier.

 

[Ben]

305s no doubt are the better option on the 20s just gotta do a little trimming.

 

[TexasTahoe2010]

Thanks so much guys.. That's what I will go with
