Installed the kit yesterday. 11-11-19. Did it all myself except for the spring compression. Don’t even try it... you will likely die. I took the shock assembly to a local truck lift shop and paid 50$ for them to do it.
Outcome was as follows:
Driver side= Front wheel well 2 inches higher than rear wheel well
Passenger side= Front wheel well 2.25 inches higher than rear wheel well.
It doesn’t look raked out like a Florida Georgia line fan..but I plan to add a 1.5” leaf and upgraded shocks to make it a little closer
Adding 275/55/r20 this week.

Has anyone tried the Ready lift SST 3.5" kit (part #693535) on their diesel?
It does not say its made for diesel models and I contacted Ready lift and they said they were not sure because they hadn't test fit it.
The parts don't seem that they would effect diesel set up compared to gas. Its a suspension lift in front and small block in back.
I put the same kit on my 16 Duramax. I had to add a taller block in the back. It looked ridiculous when towing and when I added my 20” Black Rhinos I added 3” blocks in the back. It looks cool and It gets the job done but I will say that the front rides like **** on rough terrain because the springs are sooooo compressed. I’d honestly like to find a 3.5” alternative to the spacer. Here’s an updated picture from my post below.
