I thought this lift was just a unicorn. Still waiting for some 4" kits though. Can't wait to see some pics and get some feedback.

According to my sources the 4 inch kit will be released later this year. But then again look how long it's taking to get the 6 inch kit out.

Fabtech kit seems nicer? Especially on rear. New controls arms vs brackets. Too bad they are fixed length though.

You could always leave out the preload spacer, that will get you down to at least 5”.

Front might be better on the BDS, didn’t really look that hard. Saw they are using a preload spacer, don’t like that. Surprised they didn’t do the coilover kit at same time.

I do like that they came out with UCA, but way more than Readylift. These are icon territory. I’d like a set of those delta joint ones from icon for this price range.

Icon, is this a well known company as I’m new to companies that make UCA. :)

Yes, premium shock company who makes lifts and what not now. They have this “new” joint, combination of a uniball and standard ball joint. No experience with them but seems legit.


Of course there’s no photo on that one, and don’t think it fits the 19 model since it was designed for 09-18.

I was wondering what that also, I’m thinking maybe they use that for the non oem lifted trucks and then not on the rebel and ORG trucks? Would make sense

It looks like BDS, Pro Comp, & Rough Country all use small front preload spacers. Fabtech doesn't use them in their basic kit. Attached all of the install instructions to check out if you want.

Procomp 6" Lift -(link-file too large to attach)
