Wow. . . pretty beefy looking. A pretty close fit in a few places it appears.

@AGC1500 I was thinking about something similar on my '19 SLT-1 by going with the RC 1.5" leveling suspension lift kit and the .8" wider x 1" taller 255/65/R18 (31.05" tall tire) AT tires on the stock 18x7.5" 12-spoke wheels. With the RC lift kit do you think these bigger AT tires would fit without risk of rubbing? Worst case I'd move to aftermarket Fuel 17x8-9" 12-spoke wheels on a 245/70/R17 (30.5" tall tire).

Did the RC lift kit increase your ground clearance by 1.5" as well, or at all?

Note: I do use tire cables on the front tires in mountains for winter and snowboarding so I'd still need enough room to fit these, I don't trust those snow sock things (but have never used them myself).

I have a 2019 AWD and I fitted the RC lift kit and yes it did lift the front by over 1.5
I fitted 255/60R18 Khumo AT51 tyres on the std 12 spoke rims with no clearance issues and retained the same rolling dia so no speedo error

Nice! I was thinking about that as a potential Plan C tire size as well. Can you post pics of your ride with that lift and tire combo on?
@AGC1500
Can you please share below details about your SUV:
  • How much did it cost to get this kit installed?
  • How is the ride quality now compared to original
  • Any change in MPGs after lift?
  • In case you have towed with your car, how is the towing experience after the lift?

Thanks
