Anyone get the 6inch installed yet? Called around locally and no one has done one yet. Just curious on feedback.

There's a dealer in Texas (Hurst) that's installing 2.5 and 4 inch Ready Lift kits on 2021 Tahoes and Suburbans right now, with both kits they are running 35s. I have no clue how much cutting (if any) they are doing, but dang to they look good. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.

**Update**
I reached out to Readylift as they have liked a number of the dealer's posts on Instagram asking if the kits they say they are using are coming to market soon, and I got the following respsone:

"We have not yet been able to test or release a kit for that application so at this time we cannot confirm fitment or tire sizes that are able to be ran. We are hoping to have something released in the next 3-4 months for that vehicle."

Maybe Hurst is repurposing other kits somehow? Regardless, their Tahoes and Suburbans look great!

Im really happy with our rough country kit 3.5 (I think its more) Kit. Gives the Tahoe just the right amont of edge and aggression it was missing. I think the 6" is gonna look amazing, but your goin to just see way to much of that rear ifs set up, out in the open.

I actually bought my High Country used from the Hurst dealer you guys are talking about. They are owned by the same people as the Lewisville one. Both locations have quite a few lifted trucks. Mine didn’t come with a lift, but I asked the salesman for some references. He said “we are the only ones that know how to do it”. I’m sure that isn’t true but after having my own very talented mechanic install the RC 2” kit, I think the sales dude may not have been 100% full of crap. My mechanic had a ton of issues, mostly sensor related. He resolved all but one - the adaptive ride control system is still throwing a code. I may have to take it back to Hurst for a fix… or at least get them to tell me what needs done. The sensor modules made by aFe say they only work up through MY19.

anyway, I can say that while I’m happy with the extra height, I really hate the “level” look. I have lifted lots of trucks in the past but never once did a level. Trucks have a rake. No rake, truck looks wrong. Load anything more than a tank of fuel in the back and the truck looks like it has worms. I wouldnt have done it this time except that the only non-level option available is spending $3k+ on a full set of Kings. I think I may live with it until Fox or someone makes something more reasonable.

edited to include before and after pics of the 2” RC kit. I also swapped the soccer mom wheels out for a stock z71 set

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’m running 285/55/r22 +24 offset with the RC 2” front and rear kit. Very minor trimming required to the front fender well.
