Hello, just wondering what other folks have been using?

Anyone know anything about ReadyLift's SST kits? 3" front and 1" rear kit. I'm still waiting on Carli to come out with their 3500 systems. They told me end of November.

Top neoprene coil spring spacer 1 1/2" 2014 ram 3500, 1" from being completely level, just the way to be, no need for that Carolina squat when towing.

Thuren stuff fits perfectly. You can order the front Carli stuff now and just use a Readylift block in the rear until their leafs come out. I have a 1" block with my Thuren front coils.

Just ordered the Carli 3.25" Commuter Lift with associated accessories (Add-a-Pack, Diff. Guard, Steering Stabilizer, etc.). Will put it on next week. Still trying to decide on wheel/tire combo...to trim or not to trim?

I put the zone off-road leveling kit on mine, The only time I spend off paved road is Forrest service roads, so I didn’t need anything crazy. They send a stout spacer that is staggered to account for the factory angle of the spring. I installed it myself with some jack stands, bricks and a floor jack, took about 2 hours.

Thuren fab!!! 2 inch coil and king shocks
Do you like the Thuren Coil? I am thinking of getting these. I have the stock Bilsteins with the Off Road Group so I didn't want to lose them and get a full setup, and I didn't want a spacer. I figured adding the coil to my Bilsteins was the best method..

What about the axle being shifted off center, are you all buying an adjustable track bar so that you can re-center the axles in the frame?

I'm looking at doing a 2" front spacer and 1" rear spacer and a front adjustable track bar and then longer Fox 2.0 Adventure Series shocks.
It will be a $1300 to $1500 level kit if done right.

I did not buy an adjustable track bar, I never did that until I got up to a 3” lift or more. They are nice though.

I used this kit in my 2018 and just bought it again for my 2020 solid kit no complaints. I’m very picky when it comes to the ride and tire wear

I have had the DBS 8” with the fox fully adj. before and that’s a great kit as well. Had that on my F150

I did an ICON 4 1/2" lift for my factory air ride Limited. Fuel Sledge 20" +20 offset with 37x 12 Ridge Grapplers. I did the Stage 4 Kit with front and rear track bars. No cutting/ trimming - very slight rubs at fuel lock due to Grappler sidelugs. Used Hypertech tuner to reset tire size. No Codes or issues. Factory air ride funtions as normal. Rides much better than stock. I got tired of waiting on the other guys: lifts for factory air ride must be the last on their lists.20200209_091500.jpg20200209_091518.jpg20200209_091539.jpg20200209_091615.jpg20200209_091641.jpg

Looks nice, and that weatherguard toolbox is nice too.

Readylift 3"F/1"R lift, 20x9 Fuel Couplers with +1 offset on Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Zero rub. Still have to add the adjustable track bar to get the front the same on both sides. Love the ride and the look.91260556_10159394139169186_1723862506675372032_n.jpgIMG_1608.jpgIMG_1612.jpg

How far off is the front without the front bar? Can you tell the difference?
It was about an inch and half off. The track bar is now installed and i got it to a quarter inch difference and happy with that. Can't tell unless you pull out the tape measure.

I did the 3/1 Readylift on my 3500. I also added Bilstein shocks, and have zero complaints about the lift... I too need to add the track bar. Which one did you install by the way?E737B7CB-B5FA-4D6B-8FA5-C5CAFD874C16.jpeg
