    A few ReadyLift questions

    The lift should affect mpg that much. FCA did put a lot of time into the affects of aerodynamics on mpg. I drove nearly 3000 miles with factory wheels and tires with negligible change in mileage. Now when you change tire diameter this in turns changes your wheels speed vs actual speed. Since...

    Ready Lift 2inch preload spacer?

    I had this problem when I was stock. On the first run production struts they must have had issues because the replacement strut was on national backorder and already had a superseded part number.

    A few ReadyLift questions

    Ok, that is about a .25” taller than mine but there’s a couple factors that may be in play. One being mileage...how many miles do you have on the truck? The other and most likely is alignment. Toe and chamber can cause the front of the truck to “grow” or rise giving you a “false” reading...

    A few ReadyLift questions

    Yes, that is correct. You need to remember to leave the control arm pivots loose until on the ground. Yes, that will move away on the ground

    Ok, I don’t have my notes with me but that sounds about right.

    A few ReadyLift questions

    yes, that is the the correct ride height... while you have the strut out, measure the OAL from the top of the spacer to the center of the bottom pivot bolt hole.

    A few ReadyLift questions

    Ok, I’ve noticed that is the case too. The few trucks we’ve measured they all seem to be within .25”. When the 3.5” kit is installed it should measure 25.5”ish give or take .25”. I know it’s a pain but if you install the complete kit and you measure the center line of your wheel again. I’m...

    A few ReadyLift questions

    It’s voodoo!!! Period So, when lifting a vehicle you have to take in consideration the “Lift Ratio” or “Motion Ratio”. Which is the ratio of the distance from lower control arm pivot to shock/strut pivot : then shock/strut pivot to hub face. There are other factors like shock/strut angle that...

    3.5" readylift questions

    It's Definitely not a no, I would highly recommend talking to your dealership about it if you have any concerns, because some can be stingy. Under the Magnuson-Moss Act, a dealer must prove, not just vocalize, that aftermarket equipment caused the need for repairs before it can deny warranty...

    3.5" readylift questions

    Like Agitated stated , you won’t need longer brake lines. The factory strut is the limiting factory on the front suspension. Meaning, the overall length of the shock keep all the other components happy, and with in the factory working abilities.

    3.5" readylift questions

    I can’t say for sure, but we’ve done a lot of work for a local dealership and there hasn’t been an issue. In fact, that’s were I take my truck. I will add that my truck has had issues that were elevated to RAM customer care too with no mention to the lift. Plus, all ReadyLIFT Suspension kits...

    3.5" readylift questions

    It will, but with minor plastic trimming. It also depends on the tire you run. Not all 35” tires are really 35s”. But yes, it will fit
