    Lots of people run ready lift level kits. Nothing wrong with it if you want to start out. Just don't go bouncing off rocks on a hard trail.

    Be warned, you'll need a ECGS axle bushing if the truck is a 2016+

    Have used Ready Lift products and always thought they were decent (for what it is) quality compared to some of the other brands I have seen. Ran their leveling kit in my old Chevy with no issues, I currently run their rear blocks right now in my current truck. My friend has their kit on his Tundra and has had no issues..

    Welcome to TW!

    Spacer lift's get a bad rap, maybe undeservedly. The problem is, with a spacer lift, shocks run out of travel before the suspension does. The shock then becomes the "bump stop". Slam the front end down and you can bend the lower end of the front shock. For just street driving and mild off roading, they do OK. Start jumping sand dunes, etc, and you can cause issues. I ran a spacer lift for a while when I first got my truck. Went 52K miles and never had a problem. I'd HIGHLY recommend putting a spacer between frame and bump stop to eliminate some front end travel....But even that is suspect if you plan on slamming rocks or jumping dunes... They're a low buck way of getting a little bit of lift, but not without SOME risk. There's a prevailing rumor that top plate spacer lifts effect ride quality. Simply put....NONSENSE. Shock and spring rate do NOT change. Ride doesn't change. As with ANY lift, you would need to have front end alignment changed.

    Long story short, for just a few bucks more you can end up with a much better suspension. Why do all the work and stop just short of "good"?

    The 5100 Bilstiens are the most economical GOOD way to raise the front. Contact Marie at Headstrong Offroad for great deals and greater advice on that set up.
