Just got my 2020 two weeks ago and said I was going to leave it stock, didn’t happen. I installed the 3.5“ ReadyLift, really easy install and had the 35” tires put on yesterday morning. My 2017 had a 4” ReadyLift and a 3” body lift that I traded in for the 2020.

Looks great! Love the white, I have the same truck but with different wheels. I went with the Mopar 2" w/ORP springs to basically achieve the same 3.5" lift in the front. How does your UCAs and CVs look? Here are some pics of mine, I would like to compare if you can post some pictures of yours.

Your UCAs appear to be in much better shape than mine. CV's appear to be about the same angle. The Mopar 2" also came with new UCA's but from what I have read the ball joint range is the only difference from stock UCA.

Can’t you buy just the ReadyLift upper control arms. Think they are around 450$

I'm sure you can. I will ride with the Mopar UCAs since they are what came with the lift kit. If I do have a problem it will probably be easier to get fixed under warranty since its all Mopar parts.

Are these springs longer then??
There’s been some discussion about that. Some have said they are physically longer and some think the compression rate is different but are same length. I don’t know for sure.

I'm not sure what you are asking. Are the ORP springs longer than the non ORP springs, answer is yes. Many people have compared the length while off of the truck. Sorry if that's not the question you are asking.

I am confused on where this topic is going. My truck has the ReadyLift 3.5" lift with stock sprigs and the spacers ReadyLift provides.

You are going to need new uca’s , looks like too much angle for sure

I took those pictures right after the lift was installed. now that I put a couple miles on they seem a little better after a .5" settle but your right, I think the ORP springs may have made them push the limit. I'll prob ride them until they blow or squeak then go with some readylifts. I don't do much extreme offroading.

Does anyone know the part number for the rear ORP springs? My truck is 41.5" in the front and 40.75 in the back. I have tools in the back so i know that's an issue but even empty its still 1/4" lower in the back. I would like to change the rears to offset the height. Any other ideas would be great.

If you carry heavy tools all the time throw some air bags back there. Not sure how the ORP springs will work with non ORP shocks in the rear.
