Please Help me decide.....Readylift 3.5" or Mopar 2" lift?

[SzymiRam@2019]

I have a little over an inch of rake. I did add a 1/2 top hat spacer, and it’s working perfectly.

Hi, thank you for sharing. Looks awesome. This is the look I want. I don't want to be perfectly level. So 1" of rake will be perfect.
Thanks again.

Only 14 months after I started this thread I went with the RL 3.5 kit w/ Bilsteins front and rear.

Ball joint angle looks great.

So, since you had ample time with the stock setup, how's the new setup with the 3.21's. Gas mileage?, getty up and go seat of the pants?

Stock driving "city" 9 miles each way to work I got 12.7mpg.......not trying to conserve..I also tend to drive w/ cruise control...habit I picked up from my BMW. Since I finished the lift I've gone on a few longer drives some mpg's are 14.3 now but that's skewed. If I had to guess, 2-3mpg less....Used to cruise on Hwy 21-24....seems like 18-21 now.

Which setting did you go with on the bilsteins? I have the same setup and went with setting #5 but I think I am going to drop it down to #4 because front sits just a touch high.

Did you ever post pics of ur truck? Would like to see a side #5....Most posted side angle shots so u can't really tell how level it is.....

No i haven't taken a good side shot yet...it looks pretty level, maybe a hair high in the front. I wish i had gone setting #4 and i will be changing it soon, just have to find the time.

How is the ride quality compared to stock?

Have you had any issues with the lift? I am trying to decided this or 4" BDS. I am concerned that the CV joint angles, steering geometry would be compromised with this lift. That said is looks great and a good price.

Mopar. View attachment 28928

Any noticeablem mpg/power loss? I wanna put on 275/60/20 coopers.

Just did the tough country 3.5” with the control arms. 35x12.5x20 cooper at3 lt. mounted on fuel hostage 20x10 -24 offset and absolutely love it. Sorry it’s dark when finished. I’ll get more pics

Got a link to those tires? I couldnt find AT3 LTs in for 20 inch wheels

How is the Bakflip with keeping water out? I love the look but have read mixed reviews. My daughter is 6 with a wheelchair that I store in the bed sometimes and the factory soft roll up tonneau cover has performed well so far so I wouldn't want to swap it out for something that doesn't work as good.

I am on my second backflip. It is in no way water tight, Neither was the first one.

Angles are fine, I've used 4WD, 12k miles on the lift. It's been perfect. The angles in the pics are just fine
