Ready Lift Stage 3 2.5Fr 3.0R vs Stock

Hey everyone so i finally got my readylift kit installed and have some pics of my brothers truck witch is completely stock and then a pic of my truck witch has the ready lift and mud terrain km2's... I think this is how the truck should look when you drive it off the lot both trucks have 30,000 miles on them and both were bought on the same say kit was easy to install and i think makes a good amount of difference!

Looks good. I thought most guys put a higher lift in the front than the back?My truck has a 6"lift in the front and 4" in the back and love the way it sits. The outer ring painted black on the grill of the kr looks awesome.

Due to the sag in the rear when i hook up my trailer i felt the tow package was the best choice the truck looks level when i hook my trailer up and am thinking about getting airbags still thinking about it... A 6inch lift my concern was that my dealer told me after i showed them the lift/leveling kit i was going with that they wouldn't void my warranty and they would still work on my truck and cover any problems so that was another reason... is there anyway to view a bigger pic of your truck i have tried to look at it many times and am new at this forum but would love to see a pic it looks bada**!!

I am getting closer to posting some picks. Need to get to 26 posts. Don't want to hijack your thread but I have tons of questions about my own truck. But without pictures its useless. Bought mine used and new to having a truck with a lift. But you are right it is bada$$.I just love this truck!Can't wait to show it off and learn some new stuff on this forum.

That looks about perfect. The wife still likes the look of the 4.5" Icon kit though. How long did it take you to install? Simple tools?

How was the install? difficult? Any special instructions for during or after the install? How is the quality and ride?

I was looking at this kit and comparing it to the readylift rear blocks with auto spring spacers up front. Those are an easy install.

What size tires did you go with?

Maurader, Did you notice any difference in the way it rides? Any shimmy or more firm? Looks good

I did this on mine. You'll need a 30mm wrench and a 30mm socket, breaker bar and snipe for the track bar bracket bolt.

Also best bet is to get some 12 ton Jack stands. My 6 tons are barely tall enough and 3 tons won't even come close. Obviously a very hefty Jack is required as well.

Other than that, a standard metric set of sockets and wrenches is all you need.

Impact gun also helps.
