    So I found out the 2019 trd off road already has a 1” lift stock so the 3” puck in the front won’t fit. Went with a 2.5” and the same 2” in rear. 33’s and 18’s for tires and wheels. Now need to find some rock sliders that go wheel to wheel on a long bed.8B9C81CD-2F39-4498-BEA4-00C83BDE59D7.jpg658FC2BB-4A92-49CA-9039-A56877C317A4.jpg

    You'll want to install longer front bump stops , with my 3" front I'm running 2019 Chevy 1/2ton rear bump stops cut them down to be 2.5" tall that way you don't bottom out the front shocks. Then in the rear I took the fronts and installed them on the frame so the factory rears hit them keeps all the shocks happy

    Couple months later, lift still good. No issues at all. That's with me using and abusing it weekly for work. Got some skinny geolanders that come in at 33" no rub at full lock.

    Hi everyone. new to the forum. I just installed a readylift 3/2 on my 2020 Sport and it came with a rear strut extension up top. I used it however it looks like I am the only person who has used it.. is it necessary? Looks very strange..

    Ooh, I've thought about something that extends the strut when lifting with blocks, but I didn't know it actually existed

    It does look quite strange, but hey, at least you're not losing any suspension travel

    Looks good. How much did this kit cost, how long did it take to install and where did you buys. Sorry about the questions just curious that I might do the same to my Sport. Thanks for any info

    Not sure if this info might help anyone, I know this thread is pretty old but I have the rough country spacer level up front and the ready lift 1 inch rear block kit to level the truck.

    Put about 10K miles on the truck so far with those both installed and no issues at all. I had the RC spacer level on my last truck for about 60K miles and no issues at all with that setup either. I don’t do any hard off roading though.

    My only “complaint” if you could even call it that, is that the ride is a little rough but it’s a truck so whatever. I may upgrade to the bilstein 6110’s at some point down the road for a smoother ride.

    Just think about this for a second. You're going to spend thousands on wheels/tires but you're only willing to spend $220 on your suspension? If you can't do it right, don't. Save until you can do it right before you destroy your truck. Even with small spacers, after a short period of time your suspension will feel like shit and your new truck will ride like an 89 chevy. You should do the eibach stage 1 kit. It's only $700 and will get you 2.75" in the front and 1" in the rear. I can't stress enough, you get what you pay for, especially when it comes to suspension components

    Ones for show, and ones for go. Your call...

    Check out Bilstein 2/1" 5100s for best bang for buck.

    I agree. Spend money on wheels and tires, I would want to improve the ride first.

    Plus, you are taking apart the front suspension so you should just do it right from the start. The coil over will not be so much more if you save up a bit and you will get a better ride.

    Check out 88 rotors on you tube.
    Examples of any type of lift/suspension and wheel/tire combination.

    My 2019 has a tuff county 1" rear and 3" front with diff drop.
    Tires are ko2 285/75/16 on trd 8x16
    wheels. I reviewed an 88 rotors video on YouTube and got the same that they installed. I'm a street driver and very satisfied with fit and look.
