ReadyLift 2” kit with rear air ride and 35s

Just wanted to share my new look! Installed the kit that Ready Lift makes for the rear air ride trucks, sku is 69-52220, also installed the 17x8.5 - 0 Methods on 315/70r17 KO2s.

The install wasn’t the easiest and took about 5 hours including the alignment, but instructions were well written, the front spacers are fairly straightforward with the only consideration being that they only fit on one way, the rear is what takes some time as you need to drill into the spring seat to mount the air bag spacer and then naturally use the provided brackets to adjust the desired height.

I haven’t driven more than 20 miles, but I’m pleasantly surprised that it rides very close to stock, I chose to go with load range C tires to retain a more comfortable ride. I haven’t yet taken my rig off-road to provide any feedback, but I wanted to vouch for this kit as being affordable and built with quality.

Any feedback is appreciated

 

looks good, big impact on ride is your C load tires which is a great load rating for a half ton truck. Plenty tuff, but they ride much better than E load.

 

Thank you and I agree and since I don’t tow it seems like the way to go

 

Well, even SL load tires are plenty for what the tundra is rated to tow and haul. But C load is perfect blend of ride and durability for half tons, jeeps, suvs. Ive logged a ton of off road miles on C load tires. Im running E, was the only choice for my 18 inch wheels .

Just wish we had choices for C load in tires for 18 and 20 inch wheels. Unfortunately, getting C load means moving to 17 inch wheels. Nitto recon grappler is starting to make 295/70-18 in SL load, so that is promising. Maybe other manufacturers will start offering something other than E load in 33-35 inch tires.

And Kudos on your wheels, I always enjoy seeing something other than black! Those looks great on your truck.

 

Nice set up.....

 

Thanks Frank I appreciate it, the wheels are exclusively offered by TrailBuilt Off-road and I got a great Black Friday deal, luckily they were in stock, they were great to deal with and would definitely vouch for them

 

My 2" readylift rides great!

 

Truck looks good. Im going to keep Ready lift in mind when i go to do mine.

 

Awesome to see the ReadyLift kit installed on someone's truck! I ordered the same one along with a stage 4 Icon lift kit. Figured I really only need the rear lift components from the ReadyLift kit but they don't sell just that lmao. Excited to get it all on though, just waiting on 4WP to ship the front coilovers, sway bar brackets & ReadyLift spacer kit!

 

Looks great! Did you adjust the rear arm's at all? Does the truck sit level?

 

I have mine set to about 1” rake which I prefer, but with this kit you have lots of flexibility to set it lower or even or higher

 

Is that all done by adjusting the position of the sensor arm? or does that rear spacer provide some level of adjustability?

Ultimately I am trying to determine if that spacer will put the rear to high if i only go with a front level (2-3") I love the idea of it to not extend the bag/add more PSI but height is a concern as well.

 

The spacer puts the air bag where it needs to be and the provided linkage is used to fine to the desired ride height, I could probably put the rear end up another inch easily and I could also set the rear end up lower than the front, I chose to NOT use the provided bump stop extensions to avoid the bottom out that most of us are aware of

 

Good to know. I am looking to go level so do you think you have that inch to go down in the rear? Sorry for 100 Q's, just trying to do my homework.

 

Correct you will be to set your truck level

 

That's the same kit that I ordered and will install Tue. I had the 35's on and I adjusted the back. The front is still stock and my OCD is bugging me because the front is lower than the back LOL

 

Anyone else have opinions on this kit after installation?

 

I’m looking into this kit and was wondering your thoughts after having it installed? Do you have any detailed pictures of the setup in the rear?
