3.5" readylift questions

[Dontfront82]

U w

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?

U will be good

I have the 2.5” motofab spacer and ready lift UCAs ordered. I have the off-road package so I’m theory should be 3.5” of loft over factory height. Doing 35x12.5x22 fury MTs on 22” replica wheels. Should be installed on the 21st of this month. Was thinking about doing the 3.5” ready lift but from reading on this thread and several other threads figured it wouldn’t be a great idea since I have the off-road package.

Awesome! This is exactly what I want to do as well. Please post pics and keep us updated! What rim width and offset did you go with on those 22’s?

 

[Roddog2220]

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

ill be paying a visit to get me gas tank fixed, its numbers are way off, any issues with that

I’m actually going with a Denali replica wheel..sounds dumb I know but I have delmonico red and wanted a bright silver wheel to accent the dark metallic color of the truck. That was the best looking wheel I could find in that color and size. It’s a 22x9 +30 offset I believe. Will probably be adding 1/4” wheel spacers to kick it away from UCAs.
This picture doesn’t do justice to the bright silver color but it’s one the shop sent me once they arrived. I’ll try to remember to come back and post some pictures next week. I’m excited to see it put together.

Edit-this picture is from an online site. Tried upload the one the shop sent me but kept saying the file was too large, but got this one to work.

Had a good schedule at work and was able to get everything done today. This was taken by the shop that did the install. Truck is currently down the road getting an alignment. Will try to get more pictures throughout the week.

I like the setup, the silver wheel looks good with the dark red . How does it ride with the 1/4" spacer? I am also looking at doing a Chevy replica wheel in 22x9, but the one I am considering has a +24 offset. I am hoping that since its only +5mm difference from stock that I can get away with not needing a spacer and still clear the Readylift UCAs.

It rides normal. Can’t even tell a spacer is there. I’m contemplating adding another one but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

What's a bit confusing to me is that most are using a 2.5" front spacer to level their trucks, but yet the 3.5" RL lift kit which has a 2" rear lift is also seemingly leveling most trucks.

So the measurements probably aren’t exact because it was dark but what I ended up with was pretty much right under 42 inches from ground to bottom of the wheel well at midline right through the center of the wheel all the way around. Can I expect some “settling” in the front? I was hoping to still have about 3/4-1 inch of rake left so it didn’t look “stressed” when hooking up my camper. I don’t tow enough for me to be overly concerned about it but in case it grinds on me and it doesn’t settle in a bit what would my options be? Larger Spacer in the rear, Airbags, other?

Here are the measurements I took in the same spot in my driveway.

Factory Suspension and Tires
Front Driver - 36 1/8
Front Passenger - 36 1/2
Rear Driver - 38 1/4
Rear Passenger - 38 1/2

After ReadyLift 3.5 and Nitto RG’s 35x12.5R20
Front Driver 41 7/8
Front Passenger 41 7/8
Rear Driver 41 7/8
Rear Passenger 41 7/8

However, doing rough calcs, it looks like the 3.5" kit actually raised you 4" in the front (taking about 1.25" away for the lift from the tires).

I haven’t measured them since that night so I just went out and did just to see. I only did the drivers side but both the front and back were are exactly the same. 41 1/2.

I realize I should start measuring from the center of the wheel to only account for the lift but I didn’t do that before so I have nothing to measure it against.

Can you share the link to the spacer you used? I’m considering this for a little more clearance.

I’m honestly not sure what brand they are. It’s just what the shop had in stock that day. It’s just a basic 1/4” washer-style spacer. No adapters or anything. No lug trimming required

@Tstevenson325

Thoughts on these angles using the 3.5" readylift?

 

[MValdez]

Right on the money. On that note, if you do decide to use spacers, don't buy anything other than BORA. They are the best out there and are hubcentric where as alot of spacers are lug centric. They cost a little more, but they are top notch quality.

A forum member posted these and claims after 3,000mi there was no need for re torque and work well.

Chevy and Ram have slightly different hub sizes, so for the Ram these still would not be hub centric and you would just be relying on the lugs. Best route to go is BORA custom spacers that are both hub centric AND wheel centric to the specific wheel you are running.

So here’s a question. I carry about 600+lbs of constant weight in the bed of my truck for work. I was thinking of adding the 3.5” readylift sst kit and also adding HD coils in the rear. The HD coils say they add 2-4” of lift themselves and the sst kit adds 2”. I’m wondering if the HD coils will actually add any lift at all with the readylift since it will already be lifted and more or less just add strength from bottoming out.

I do want to maintain some rake, I’m just not sure how everything will come out in the end. I’m sure there’s a whole lot of math and trial and error to this. Does anyone keep a heavy constant weight in their truck or tow often? I’m curious how much sag this Ram will have under load?

Can you explain what "regreasing" means? Is this an application process applied to the back of the spacer so that it does not fuse/corrode onto the stock wheel hub?

making weird sounds and shop greased it to go away, isnt there a ready lift employee or rep on the forum, id like to know if they had some lemons in their builds
