Finally pulled the trigger on lift, wheels, and tires!

I swore that I was going to leave this one stock, but I should’ve know that was a lie. I went with the ReadyLift 3.5” SST lift, 22x10 -20 Asanti Off-road Windmills (true directional, and 35x12.50r22 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. This might be my favorite truck so far...

The lift and those wheels are perfect together. Digging those rims

No rubbing?

 

[MFALRAM]

Nice!! How’s the ride?! Looking at getting the ready lift 3.5 .

The ride is great! Just a little floatier than stock but still nice.

 

[Triast2]

Yeah, had a little rubbing but it was fixed with some minor plastic trimming!

I appreciate it. I went back and for on wheels and hadn’t seen them on that granite so I was a little skeptical. Turned out better than what I was expecting.

Looks great!! Love the wheel setup

how much did you pay for install/alignment ? I found a supper good deal online for the 3.5" SST RL kit for $628.00 about a month ago and just last week My dealership quoted me $1400.00 for install/alignment (they said it could be more since they've never installed one before) or $100.00 per hour. I'm contemplating buying a couple jacks/spring-strut compressor/ grease gun and doing the install myself then have it aligned after however the rear is very intimidating to being how far under one has to go to get to components. I just don't trust mechanics these days and my gut tells me if it's not dealership they will mess up install and i'll have issues...

That’s insane. $1400 to install a lift and align....or more! Time to find a new mechanic.

As far as if it’s not at a dealership they will mess it up, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Many dealerships don’t even know their own vehicles unfortunately. Find a good mechanic.

Truck looks great!

My install was $630 and alignment was $100 from install shop. They actually have their own machine.

my dealer charged about $650.00 plus alignment, 3.5" ready lift about same amount I found on amazon. Went with the dealer to keep warranty issues on them.

Was the $650 just for the labor? Plus they charged you for an alignment?

yes $650.00 for installing and alignment an additional amount

 

[Patsy1099]

That seems like an awful lot of money. At a labor rate of $80 an hour that is over 8 hrs of labor to do a lift? Plus the cost of the kit. Plus an alignment!

Truck looks great! I love the the look of the the 3.5" but I hear a lot of talk about issues with the ball joints when you go that high. Have you had any issues? How's it riding so far?

That is such a classic and clean look. First one I’ve seen with Chrome Bumpers that makes me reconsider my choice when I bought a Sport instead. Looks amazing man.

Hell. Here in El Paso the dealer wanted to charge me 2k plus the cost of the Mopar Lift.
