Almost April now and have been waiting to get new Z71 shoes since November ... Anybody have any insight into when we're going to see some true suspension lift kits available?

All I can find is fabtech is working on a 3 inch kit, and a few leveling options so far.

Waiting for this too. I'd imagine that lifting the rear will entail dropping the center section. I think the Z71 will look perfect on 35's.

Ahhh, the never ending question. I have had mine since July 2020. Seems a bit ridiculous to take this long to develop!

I'm considering doing a 2.5" level and putting some 285/55r22s (34.5") under it. Will be some trimming but believe it can be done. Need the rear figured out!

I think our only hope is for Icon, Fox or king to develop some rear coilovers. I doubt a full blown bracket lift will be made for the rear.

Apparently they figured a way at Louisville Autoplex out of Texas. They are pumping out Yukon’s and Tahoes with 4” lifts.

Yeah, I spoke to Ready Lift’s Tech department and they will not confirm “officially” that kit or any of their kits will fit the 2021. He did tell me those guys must be doing some custom mods to the kit, especially for the rear. They have gotten several calls asking the same thing.

I have communicated with a guy on Instagram who did a RC 3.5” made for a Silverado and is running 295/55/22. Said he still had to trim some.

Literally ordered the f/r level kit last night, only to see the 3.5 kit this morning. DAMN IT, I am sure the labor cost is identical on install also.

305/55/r20s are the recommended size .... 99% sure I'm going to go with that kit. I'm just hoping Z71s can go a little taller as they are already on 33s.

I prefer the regular underlighting as opposed to the rock lights, I don't like it when you can see the source of the lights.
