Looking for updates & pics from anyone who is running the full kit, pre load and top hat front and rear lift on an ORP truck. How's it holding up? Any problems? Also curious what your hub to well measurement was before the lift if you remember it.

@Roddog2220 - I am considering putting the 3.5 Ready Lift on my 19 with the ORP - would you mind sharing what issues you are having?

Thanks much.

dont like the rake, popping noises, big time uneven tire wear, ive lifted many trucks and never had issues like this, had 2 different shops look at it as well saying all was done to specs, probably be removing it soon

With the ORG, 34" tires should have fit without any lift or level kit. Why did you install a lift kit?

Thanks for the reply and sorry to hear you're having trouble with it. Is it a readylift or fabtech kit? Your tag says 3.5 fabtech.

With my ready lift, I haven't had any noises, my tire wear is fine and I rotate them every 4000 miles. Sorry to hear about the issues you are having. Yes my MPG has dropped but that is expected when I put heavier wheels and tires on the truck. Wheels/tire combo probably about 120lbs each. That's a lot of rotating weight compared to stock.

the tires are wearing enevenly pretty bad, lost 5 mpg(didnt expect this), strange popping you get used 2, dont really like the way the truck sits, front is 2 high, ive had 2 shops inspect it says all looks normal, had many small lifts but never issues like this
