Anyone running this set up with toy rt or nitto ridge grapp just got my 2021 Laramie 4x4 would like to see what it would look like and if you like the setup? Pics would be appreciated thanks Readylift rep said this would work as they have tested this setup with 20x9 with 0 offset so I’d like to see how it actually looks with pics if anyone has some

Hey there! So I’ve got the Rough country 3.5” lift with upgraded front struts and mono tube rear shocks going on my truck Thursday with Raceline Gauge wheels 0 offset and 35x12.5 Ridge Grapplers. So I’ll post some pics right here once it goes on 👍

Here you go with some pics. I am immensely impressed and this look and lift kit exceeded my expectations in every way. The shop did not mention anything to me about having to trim to prevent rubbing but there is NO run and I do not see any change in the wheel wells at all. Let me know if you have any questions. Here are some pics.

3.5” readylift on a 21 Laramie. Wheels are 20x9 with -12mm backspacing, tires are 295/60/20 fallen wild peak at3.... slight rubbing at full lock on the factory mudflaps. I heated them up with heat gun and molded them backwards in the inner half and it seems fine now, didn’t hear rubbing all day driving today.
here’s pic before and after the lift.

Thanks, I really appreciate that. 👍
The ride is really great. The truck feels much more planted now and less of that stock floating/rocking feeling. You do feel more of the little imperfections that you drive over but it’s not jarring and the new suspension soaks it up well. Now I can’t speak for the spacer 3.5” systems, but this set up, I think, has got to be the best value for our trucks right now if you want 3.5” of lift and no spacers at all in front or rear. And as a kicker, the ride with the new suspension and tires has officially been wife approved for noise and ride quality 😁

How do you like the icons on daily driving? I see a lot of people talk about them but no reviews on how they ride and perform.

They ride great on the highway. Very planted feeling. Haven’t hauled or towed anything yet but with an empty bed, they’re very nice to ride on.

Have you taken it off road at all? Is there any contact between the uca and strut at full droop?

Your setup and truck looks like perfection! really like how it sits seems perfect! I have never had rough country setup because i was always scared off by the horror stories. That being said i have had BDS, Carli, Old Man Emu, and a couple morei cant remember and honestly wasnt all that impressed. I think because of my experience with the so called "better kits" and not being impressed with them i am going to give RC a shot. Plus i have heard they are stepping up their game from past years.

Hey there. Beautiful truck. Considering this setup. How much did your shop charge you for install?

Did you consider readylift and if so, did you go this route for the struts?
