FWIW my truck is lifted in the rear with ready lift 4" tapered blocks and I have no issues but my truck is a scsb so I'm supposed to have the taper.

They told me "I installed the tapered block's backwards", and "To Turn them the other way". I asked them to send me flat block's, they told me to "Shim the Carrier bearing more". I asked to exchange again, the said sure $179 for the proper one's. I was pretty upset with them, and have now given up. I ended up finding radius arm bracket's on my own for half of what they wanted. As for the rear, I just haven't had the time/money to get into it. My chatter Shake's the mirror's.
They worked with you on the Radius bracket's, and that kick's ***. They want like $330-$380 from me.
I come off pretty abrasive, and maybe they thought I was kickin their teeth in on the phone, but I remember being polite, saying "Yes Sir, No Sir, Please Help, and Thank You", Than I ended up saying, "Thanks for nothing".
Most of this, (I think even the Email's, were put in this thread, or in the "This is Prolly a 1 page" thread.
If they had offered me the drop's for the price they did for you, and exchanged my block's, I would be praising them. But they didn't, So they will never get a dime, or a recommendation from me.
And looking back at it, For what I got into it, and the extra stuff I had to buy, I could have (At that time) bought the BDS 4" kit. (Remember I also replaced my worn leaf spring's, So I'm into this about $1300.) I could have gotten The whole ShaBang from BDS for $1400, right down to the shock's.

Mind You, I know other's with no issue's, and the kit does what it was designed to do. I'm not saying that it is junk. I'm saying "MY" experience was rough, and "I'm" done with ReadyLift.
I see a lot of ppl that have great success with their kit's and highly recommend them....I'm not one of them.

Tell me about it! LOL

If they had burned me on those parts or told me they couldn't be bought separately I would be bashing them too.

I am trying to not "bash" them. Like I said, a lot of other ppl have had great result's. I'm not one of them!



Sometimes you have to wonder what a company is thinking when they just completely screw people over like that.

The only reason 2 would really be needed is for pulling a tall trailer. The trailer would block the signal from one antenna so you run 2 to go around both sides of the trailer. That's why most semis run dual antennas. With lower vehicles like cars and pickups though the antenna should be mounted mostly above the roof line so there is nothing to cause interference like a big trailer would.

I only run a single antenna on my semi at work because it's a day cab pulling a flat bed. The antenna there is mounted above the roof of the cab. I rarely have any freight on my truck that higher than the cab. I also rarely use my CB at work because there's nothing but garbage and idiots who like to use it as a toy in the city. I do leave it on between big cities though when I travel farther.

Another good use for a CB is if you travel a lot. Usually if you hit an unusual traffic backup outside a major city you can hop on ch19 and you will hear truck drivers talking about which lanes are open or where the accident/workzone starts.

I use a Cobra 75 WX/ST in my pickup. It isn't very strong and can't transmit very far, but it works enough to be useful. I chose the 75 because the only permanently mounted piece is a small box that is hidden behind my dash. All of the controls and the display are built into the hand set. I can unplug the hand set and tuck the connector behind the dash and you can't even tell it's there. Also, if you have multiple vehicles set up for CB this can be nice because then you just have to buy another connection box for each vehicle. You can use the same handset and just transfer it from truck to truck.

That is $1800......I could have bought a complete lift from pretty much any reputable company, complete, the whole kit, and been done. Hindsight is 20-20, looking back is still a bit fuzzy!
Edit: One more thing I wish they would have included would be sway bar drop's, or extended link's. Take a good look at your sway bar, and you will see that it won't be very effective until the front is nosed over. I live in the mountain's, on twisty turny off camber road's. I can tell you it suck's having the front dive like it does.!
Edit again: I really am not trying to bash them, but I think maybe others should read/hear this stuff. In my situation, (Or anybody's that need's to replace other worn parts, take a good look at a complete kit) If your truck is newer, and the leaf spring's are good, and shock's are in good shape, the $570 will get you what you need. But in my case a complete kit would have been better all the way around.
