Still happy with the Rough Country set up? How many miles have you put in it so far? I'm about to pull the gun on this setup going from the 2" readylift setup.

Very happy. 5k miles on the lift. Zero issues. I had the readlift level kit on my 19 ram. I promised myself I was at least doing a 3.5” lift and 35’s on my next rig. Couldn’t be happier. I did the lifted struts on the front. No spacers

Rough country 3.5 with coil over struts in front and N3 shocks in rear. Wheels are fuel siege black 20x9 with 1mm offset. Tires are 305/55r20 general grabber ATX no rub issues. Was going to keep chrome stock 20 inch wheels for a bit but didn't like the gap between uca and tire.

Looking at buying this lift kit right now, how's the ride compared to stock ride, what was your install time also?

Just picked up mine from the lift shop. Readylift 3.5 but Used the bilstein 5100 adjustable in front instead of the preload spacer and also added the 5100 in the rear.

Had a shop do it they quoted 6 hours. With 2 guys I think it was 3 to 4 tops. Ride is little more truck than prior but no complaints. First ram had a terrible fabtech lift with blocks in the rear. It rode like a Oregon trail wagon.

Purchased this 2022 last week. A small amount of regret not doing a 3.5" lift, but I was kinda over my last trucks ride. So I went with the 2" ready-lift leveling kit.
Now in search of tires probably 285/65/R20s that wont ruin my ride, and be quiet. Wouldnt it be awesome if you could "try on" tires at tire shops. IMG_3081.jpg

Looks nice! Discount has a good return policy if you don’t like the tires. Best place to go in my opinion.

Discount always takes pretty good care of me, and probably where I would go. Hadnt thought about returning, though I might feel bad if I actually reviewed,etc had them put on, then take off.

Steer away from LT tires if you don't want to ruin your ride. I'm guessing you're a Mötley Crüe fan based on your screen name.

I wont say I didnt listen to some Motley back in the day, but my name is old (been on internet since 1990), running OS/2, LiveWire was a communications program. But the advice about LT tires is pretty much what im seeing/hearing.

Nice! I have a feeling it’s gonna be hard to find a 4 ply in that size. Hope I’m wrong

Some shops will do that, at least the one where I had my tires mounted did. Just tell them to do a test fit with the front tires (the ones where rub could be an issue) and if it doesn’t work out, have them put on the old tires.

How do you like the Nittos? Thought about going a 305/55/20 but backed out last second lol.

For those of you that used the 5100 adjustables in the front at circlip 5 and the Readylift top hat spacer. Did you notice the front settle after a few days? I also added at the same time the 5100 non adjustables in the back with the Readylift rear spring spacer. The front is noticeably lower now a few days after the lift was installed

Any help from anyone that has the Airlift 1000hd airbag and has a lift of some kind that you also have a Spacer in the rear spring to raise the back. I am looking for a solution to running the airline from the airbag through the Spacer and spacer retainer on top of spring. Did you just drill a hole big enough for the airline to go through or did you run the airline some other way. Thank you

I have a Firestone HD1000 rear bag system. The valves and lines are on top of the bag and I ran the line as such through the top. My rear spacer is on the bottom. No need to drill for my set-up.

I find the spacers to be a little noisy if I have more than 5lbs in the bags and it's cold out with no load. Otherwise, all good.

You have the Spacer for the spring on the bottom of it, I've never seen any system that has that on the bottom and not on top of the spring. Was that supposed to be like that or did you just install it like that for running the line out the top
