Excellent to know this, exactly why I asked the brain trust. Very hard to decipher the clues as you look at used cars, and nobody spells out exactly what systems are on these trucks.

Thank you guys! I think I am sticking with the EL Expy. A little more my style anyway!

Be careful. If it is a Platinum with 22’s it most likely has CCD. Stick with a limited with 20’s with the heavy tow pack and load leveling and you have the perfect combo. That is what I have and have been very happy.

People(Including Ready Lift) keep saying you can fit a 35 with the 3/2 Lift. You cannot if you have the Electric Running Boards. A True 33, Skinnier the better helps. Width of the tire, not just height matters.

Traxda says that 2wd fits 33" tires and 4wd fits 35" tires with a 3/2 lift. I havent heard that automatic running boards cause a problem, dont they sit up higher and out of the way when you're driving?

It is well documented that the Electric boards have less clearance. I know this from experience. Also my comment was directly related to the Ready Lift kit. I have no experience with the Traxda kit.

@Zero Offset i have 35s with Readylift 3/2 and electric running boards and zero rubbing. OEM wheels. Their site says “fit up to 35/11.50 on OEM”. @LokiWolf Not sure where You heard that

Because I lifted our 15 before they changed their site and mentioned that it had to be 11.50. My comment that Offset quoted was from VERY early in this thread. Ready lifts site used to just say 35, no comment on width. Mine and several others feedback is why it changed.

You still can fit less of a tire with the Electric boards. That is a fact. Because they also can’t be trimmed like the plastic can in the fender well if you need a little extra.

Thats good to hear. A lower offset wheel with more backspacing will give you more space right?

I have 9" wide 0mm offset wheels and want to run 35x12.50r20 tires.

I have the Traxda 2.75"/ 2.25" spacer lift kit.

Depending on the year of ur truck, you may have to do ALOT of cutting. You’d be better off running an actual suspension lift if you wanna go that wide of a tire.

The ready Lift is a Spacer Kit also. They are suspension, not Body, but use spring spacers to achieve the lift.

A true suspension lift moves all the components of the suspension up. Spacers just push everything up. I have the Readylift but dont call it a lift kit. It’s a spacer kit/leveling kit technically
