What are the measurements in this beauty for front and rear now?

These are estimates as I wasn’t on a completely level surface but it should be close nonetheless. Measurements were taken from the ground straight up to fender edge over each wheel.

Front: approx 42.25”
Rear: approx 42.75”

I have the RL 3.5” kit. Running 35x11.5R22 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Everything fits great and has the stance and look I was after. Problem is the wheel hub/knuckle makes contact with the Lower Control Arm. And by contact I mean that it has cut into the metal in full turn aka trying to park. Had the shop call Readift and they said they knew about this issue and we should just grind down the points of contact. The other issue is that with 35’s it seems to be exceeding the maximum span of the OE parts. Because there is a very noticeable negative camber. I am working with another custom shop now to see how to correct this. Is anyone else having this issue?

No issues here. I’ve only had my setup on for about a week now so I don’t have too much time invested with it yet, but it has been smooth sailing so far.

That looks awesome! Excellent wheel choice. It compliments the rest of the truck so nicely.

Just .25" Spacers in the front. to help clear the UCA's Here's a few older pics before I smoked the lights....realized I don't have any new ones....

 

[Bambohunter]

Yes and yes. 1.5” Venum spacers all around. Has the perfect amount of poke (for me)...It’s raining here now but once ends I’ll try and take pics and post.

Did you have to add the spacers to keep from rubbing or did you add them for the look?

Readylift 2” leveling kit with bilstein 5100 on setting 4, rear 5100, and icon 1.5” lift springs in rear. Also 1.5” wheel spacers. Tires are getting ordered before winter, just having a hard time picking size and fronting the money .

Question for you guys with the 3.5 kit. I reached out to Readylift to confirm that the parts in the 2” are the same as the 3.5” kit and they are. I saw a member mention that the top hat is only a 1.5” spacer and the preload spacer is 2”. Has anyone verified this by measuring after installing a 2” kit by chance? I assumed that this was the opposite.

Hey guys brand new to the forum and I was wondering why is the minimum rim size 20? I am a fan of 35s on a 17 or 18" rim but it seems like our trucks are not able to run that size rim

You can run an 18” rim on a 35” tire on our trucks. The issue with 18” rims is that not all of them clear the brake calipers. There is very little clearance on 18” rims and it was determined that some do not fit because of that issue. I personally cannot say what fits and what does not, but that is the very reason I avoided 18” aftermarket wheels entirely. If you’re set on 18’s do some digging and look around at the galleries available on the custom offset page. You should be able to find numerous 18” options that will fit.

Oh, and welcome by the way!

No pics but I just put the RC 3.5" struts, v2 shocks, UCAs, and Clayton 3.5" rear springs on my truck.

Personally feel like the ride is better than stock. I hated the wallow-y caddilac type handling of the ram. In a straight line it was comfortable but turning felt like a boat. This is definitely a lot more firm but not harsh.

For the money (1300ish), I don't think you can beat this setup. Coming from jeeps, RC is pretty much garbage, so I'm impressed.

Still on the stock tires so it's apples to apples, but 35s in load range e going on next week. Probably order the hellwig sway bar at some point also.

Same here except the ORP rear springs on mine. Can't compare ride as I took delivery with RC kit installed, does ride better then my 17 Rebel with the air ride and we just returned from about a two thousand mile vacation and very pleased.

I had the ReadyLift 3.5 SST kit installed back in December without the preload spacer and used the RL top hat spacer with the 5100 adjustable on #5 in the front and had the 5100 (non-adjustable) installed in the rear. I have a pretty noticeable rake compared to others on this thread. When measuring the rear from the ground to the center of the wheel well with 22" wheels it measures 42.75" and the front measures 40.25". Why could that be? Did the installer not do something right with the front suspension install? I do not have the offroad springs.

Interested in either the Readylift or RC 3.5" lift for my 22 Ram Rebel. However...I want to get a level look when finished, what's recommended to do this? Why are ppl also using Bilsteins with these 3.5" lifts? I'm getting confused with all the different variations of setups guys are doing
