Air Ride and lift kits

[revvr]

I'm about to pull the trigger on a 22 Laramie with air ride. I'd like to lift the truck a good 2 inches, so that I get the same stance a Rebel has, but I don't know much about lifting. I know that I don't want to go past 2 inches.

Does anyone know if this is possible? If so, what kit would you recommend?

I did the ReadyLift level kit this week and I am really happy with the way it turned out. All air modes still work and still factory ride. No rub in normal any more with the 285/55/22s.

Your truck looks great! Did you get a full 2” of lift out of it?

I‘m thinking I would like to keep 1/2”-1” of rake on mine. To attempt to achieve this, I’m going to get the revel links and try a simple 1” front lift. Hoping that works out without hurting ride quality too much.

I haven’t measured it yet and haven’t driven it much since the install. I’ll try to take some measurements soon once the system balances out and I can get on even ground.
From what I understand, if you just do the links, you will have OFF ROAD1 ride quality up front.

I ended up ordering the Readylift setup as well. I like the steel spacer vs the Daystar setup.

However, I don't like the perfectly level look. My eyes need a wee bit of rake, about an inch or so. I'm hoping that I can either lower the front, or raise the rear slightly to achieve the look I'm after without tons of fender gap. We'll see!

I prefer about an inch of rake myself. I’m going to drive it this week to let the air system settle and measure this weekend.

I do feel better riding with metal tubular UCAs though over those composite hybrid factory ones.

Here is my ‘22 Limited with the Revel links set at 1” lift producing 1” of rake. I think I’m going to add the ReadyLift (waiting on USPS…) for the extra .5” and set the links so there’s still rake

Today I installed the ReadyLift 1.5” lift but utilized Revel Links instead of their brackets. It resulted in 1/2” rake on pass side and ~1” rake on the drivers side. The I’ve measured it parked in the same place and it varies, so the air system seems to be constantly adjusting.

Either way, I’m happy with it. It rides great and looks good. Hard to argue with the result.
