Default Ridetech Installed -- 2000 GMC RCSB

I had one of out tech's take care of the install and it came out really well. Still a little fine tuning needed. Will need to roll all 4 lips with this wheel and tire combo. Install ran about 30 hours. Probably less without the ride height sensors. Biggest gripe was the cheap, plastic lines. We opted for braided lines throughout with nice AN fittings

We lest some room back there because we will mount up the Radium fuel cell eventually in that hole

I'm not sure if it's the wide angle lens, but are the front wheels really as set back as they appear to be?

I think it's just the angle of the photo that makes it look this way. The kit is nice, but Ridetech customer service seems a bit to be desired. I added the optional RidePro HP (auto leveling) system. The sensors are basically potentiometers and require minimum 1.0-volt sweep to work properly, with an optimal sweep of 2.5-volts. This is problematic in front because there is not anywhere to mount the sensors to get that much travel. Looks like we will have to create brackets in front to make them work. Time will tell.

How wide of a tire can you fit in the rear with this setup?

All depends on wheel choice. I am running the GMC replicas and a 275/40-22. Had to roll the fender lips. Plenty of room for a wider tire though if you increase the back spacing.
