ReadyLift 2.5" SST coil spacers on the front with Total Chaos upper control arms to retain suspension travel. And custom made leaf springs on the rear.
Altogether about $1900. Leaf springs alone were just under $1000.
I have these on my silverado and I love them. I never understand why people complain about tires on ice. IT"S I C E !! If you want a tire that handles on Ice the same way as on dry then GOOD LUCK. Unless you fall for advertising, they do NOT exist.
I have these on my Cherokee and I have nothing but good things to say about the tires. Late 2008, we had the worst winter in 30 years and they did absolutely everything I needed them to do. Even on ice they would hunt around and find traction. They are very quiet too and are wearing very well.

I am glad to see they are good in the snow. I am getting these tires for my silverado and I am hearing mixed reviews. It does not snow much here (Vancouver B.C.) but they are predicting much more snow this season.
Yeah they're really good in deep snow. I wish they were a little better on ice, but they're much better on ice than my old forteras were. And with these, I don't get stuck, I easily plow through deep snow up to my fog lights!
Thanks for the awesome video. @bullzisnipr3 I also have a trailblazer and am looking at getting these tires. My current Wildcats are horrible with traction in the winter. Did you decide to get these? If so how are they? and if you don't mind saying how much you paid for them? Thanks Much. Ed.
They're pretty amazing. After the big snowstorm we just had, my all-seasons were just not cutting it. My traction control was hard at work to go from a stop, I was drifting sideways in lanes, sliding around corners, and my ABS kicked in all the time trying to slow down. These are unstoppable, especially in 4WD! Only thing is that they good on ice, but not the best, however, my X is pretty heavy...
look at all those chimneys in the background just helping global warming..

I hear ya... And if you live in a place that has lots of ice throughout the winter, get studded tires :P

I forget to mention, the tires are rated for severe winter service and have the snowflake symbol on them.

@jordanjcm I'm replacing my Wrangler SR-A's with them this week. I'm reading a lot of mixed reviews too. How does the dry handling seem?
