3.5" readylift questions

[MaxSteelTX]

Hi All,
I just wanted to introduce myself, My name is Trevor Stevenson. I am an Engineer at ReadyLIFT Suspension and I just wanted to make myself available to any questions you may have. I will touch on two things real quick; ReadyLIFT has a partnership with Autonation Delarships in there "Auto Gear" program. These kits get preloaded to vehicles everyday with no warranty issue.

I've had this kit on my personal truck since April with Zero issues, CV boots are happy and healthy. Bgmshrm is correct, we've limited the lift to a 3.5" to insure there isn't any issues CV, ball joints, tie rods and driveline.

Feel free to reach out if you have questions, comments, concerns or requests.

Hey Trevor,

I see readylift has a 3.5”& 4” lift available, what’s the biggest difference...besides .5”

1/2 an inch. jk. I think the 4 inch lift for the 2019 is actually for the 2019 Classic and not the 5th gens.

ReadyLift 3.5 installed and 35x12.5R20’s on stock rims with a 1/4 inch spacer. Hopefully wheels drop on Friday for the weekend. I’ll post some better pics in the morning when the sun is right and the wife’s minivan is out of the way. Just finished putting in the LED’s in the Cargo and Third Brake Light, put the Pedal Commander Back in and put my BakFlip back on from my last truck.

Where did you get your Led's from? If you don't mind could you post a link?

Yes my truck on 35s fits in the 7’ opening with several inches to spare.

Could i get a picture of your truck side profile?

If u can get the dealer to pay for the lift like I did before u sign do it and get the 3.5 lift.
It'll be under warranty and looks badass. Rides good
If not..

Wait till a actual lift comes out with no spacers.

I have the offraod package with a a 3.5 lift r.c.
I love the kit/look but I'm having some issues as u can read on my post

what are the issues your having with the off road package and the 3.5?

I ordered the ones talked about in the “Best Mods for Under $100” Used a Red Led for the Brake Light because otherwise some people said it appeared pink.

You wouldn’t happen to have found any good replacement bulbs for the backup lights have you?

I haven’t looked into replacing the backup bulbs yet but I do have this sitting in my garage waiting to go on this weekend. Should help with backup brightness.

Yes, Dmaloncentral is correct. We have a 4" SST for the 2009-2018 (Plus 2019 Classics) and a 3.5" SST for the 2019 (5th Gen.) Trucks. Different application.

Dang, that looks amazing. No clearance issues with the UCA using the 1/4" spacer. I don't imagine there was very much space.

 

[Dmalonecentral]

I never really felt back there but I don’t imagine there was either. I ended up buying new wheels 20x9 +1 so that brought it out almost 3/4 inch from stock and there is plenty of room now.

what are the issues your having with the off road package and the 3.5?

I have rub marks at the spindle knuckle and lower control arm. I have a post on it under suspension forum.
But I haven't had a chance to go by and get it truly inspected(since I'm having real issues with my 5th gen and it's at service dept).
The 3.5 rides great and I've taken it off road no issues, idk when these marks happened. Could also be just from full lock turns.

The short answer is yes, it is from full lock turns. This is the same issue the 4th gens had.

Yea it makes me feel better to hear that, since the truck already been in service dept 3 times lol only at 1800 miles, 3800 miles and now at 4k miles. Hopefully I get it back today

I feel you pain, mine was in the shop 5 befor 5000 miles. Spoke with a lemon law attorney and RAM has the right to attempt to fix it before you can pursue a lemon law claim. Unless it’s in the shop for more then 30 days in the first year.

any grief from the dealer over the mods done?

 

[11B4X4]

I just ordered the Readylift 3.5" and some 295/65/20 Cooper Discoverer SST Pro's and keeping my stock 20's. Hopefully nothing rubs and everything fits like a glove.

It’s gonna be mighty close!! Larger diameter than a 35” but narrower than a 12.5. Your alignment may affect it too. Good luck, should look great.

 

[11B4X4]

It will be close. I figure if the Rough Country 3.5" lift allows for 295/60R20 with stock wheels and the ReadyLift allows for 35x12.5 with an offset wheel than I may just be in the clear. My main concern is contact with the UCA. If I have a clearance issue where would you guess that it would be?

No issues with mods from dealer
They lift they paid for and the exhaust as long as u don't pass the converts you are fine.
All the issues I'm having are not even close to mods done
