Rough Country or Readylift 3.5" lift

[Foster432]

Kind of a dumb sounding question but I’m going through the same thought process with the 3.5” lift. I’ve seen a lot of pictures online but it’s hard to really see how it looks and I haven’t seen any in person. Was the 3.5 with larger tires a pretty noticeable difference for you? Thanks!

I’ve got the 3.5” ready lift if you need a reference

Hi so after having the lift and tires on there for a little bit, what do you think! The only thing that is holding me back is the ride quality. Would you be able to tell if you didnt pay attention?

Ride quality and handling is good...you just feel it more on bumpy roads especially if you have 35's on like me

I am interested in this thread also, I have a 2020 longhorn 1500 and I am interested in the 3 1/2” ready lift. My question is, does it leave the truck “ level” or is there a slight rake still?

Although all trucks have slightly different measurements from the factory. My truck was basically level with the Readylift but it's in the shop to swap out for the 4in BDS kit with Fox shocks...I'm hoping to have a half in of rake because I think with our trucks front end it can look deceiving.

Thanks Joeyp, that answers my question. I would like to ask why your going with the BDS 4”. Is it for more clearance and or better ride. It’s considerably more money, especially with the fox shocks.

Be sure to post some pics after the install. I am considering the BDS 4" but I don't want the rake that appears to come with it. The BDS kit looks like it raises the front 4" and the rear 3".

Will do. I think our truck hoods make us look nose high a bit even if we are level. My 3.5 SST made my truck level but I felt sometimes I looked nose high depending how and where I was parked. Hopefully I will be picking her up today

The SST kit make the truck sit and look nice but Im just not happy with the ride. BDS makes one of the best 4in kits but I feel that its worth the money due to their warranty and they also have your back if the dealer gives you any headaches, which in my case will more than likely happen because the service manager is a dummy.

I will post pics when I get it back. Oh and the Fox shocks aren't that much of an upgrade from the std shocks that come with the kit.

Sounds good, would definitely like to see it when it’s done. I’m trying to do my homework before I pull the trigger. Just don’t want to screw up one of the best attributes to this truck, and that’s how they ride and drive.

I have a question on your wheels. What offset did you go with and is there any trimming of plastic or rubbing at full lock with your setup?

There isn't any rake on mine

Did you do anything different with the shocks or did you install the 3.5 kit only? Truck sits perfect.
