Good info thanks!
I noticed Mcgaughys changed their website, their kits no longer include fitting a '19. I'm surprised Rancho hasn't changed theirs yet.
BTW when I had spoke with Readylift, they were looking for a truck to test on in the Sacramento area. If anyone offers up their truck they get a free lift I was told.

I'm working with ProComp for a SEMA build we are doing. Red 2500 Longhorn 4x4 6.7 w/ 68RFE, 6" lift, and 37x13.5R20 Toyo M/T . Building the performance calibration for it and towing another build from FL to Vegas...

Nice! I’ve been looking at 20x10 -24s so that is great to hear. I’ve been debating between just using spacers or getting Thuren or Carli springs once my truck gets here.

I went with the rough country kit because it was only $160. It's a temporary set up until full lift kits become available.

Looks like just the 3500 is listed, but I’m sure the one for the 2500 is the same. I’m about to order it

There's a press release on the bds website about that new 2019 leveling kit. it says it's a carryover of the previous kits. Haha. Marketing

Been scouring the interwebs looking for any news on developments of lift kits for the 2019 HDs. Like everyone else, not finding anything specific for our trucks, although as others have previously stated, all the big names are/will be in development.

However, came across this website that has numerous lifted 2019s for sale. Guessing this dealership has modified existing 2018 kits to fit the suspension geometry of the 2019s.

Regardless, not a bad resource in terms of giving us ideas on different looks and wheel/tire options.

Enjoy

Update for anyone on here looking to lift i just put a carli pintop lift in my 19 dually. Gave me 3.5 front and 2 rear approx lift. Put 35s and 20s on. Rides WAY better than stock. My lift was complicated because of the rear air assist. And i did the full progressive leaf replacement from carli. It lifts 1 inch in rear. But i like slight rake to truck still so i added a 1 inch block aswell. King 2.5s all around.
Insane how well the truck sucks up the hard hits on the road. Looks amazing. Full control arm replace aswell. The only hickup we had was control arm, had to grind frame bracket slightly to get the new one in and centre the axle. Everything else was easy bolt on.

Great update thanks for that!
I am still checking websites regularly waiting for someone to release a 5-6" kit. I can't believe it's taking this long. The revised track bar mount and pitman arm must be causing them issues.

Always glad to see owners putting their lives in the hands of backyard engineers that are much more knowledgeable about the design and handling of motor vehicles.

Heres some pictures. Looks 100x better, just a small lift 3.5" but night and day difference. Also for anyone thats never ridden on carli suspention (or thuren) its very smooth. The hard hits on bridges are soaked up like nothing. Very happy so far. Just did a 5 hr road trip towing rv. Very impressed.

Carli says their all of their kits should be available by the end of the year. They have a 2500 leveling kit without adjustable track bar available now.

The adjustment to get the 18 adjustable bar in was so minor its almost laughable. Anyone that wants a kit the 18 kit works on the 19. They said I may have hard time with the control arm drop brackets (Bolts rubbing exhaust) but we flipped them around and they fit fine. Air tank did not need relocated, as they have moved it slightly, clears everything fine.
Truck is TIGHT, drives so well I cant believe ive never run carli suspention before. Only option for me because of factory air, and I didn't want to mess with blocks myself to space them up. Happy I went with them
