ReadyLift 69-1040 4.0'' Front with 2.0'' Rear SST Lift Kit 4" - Dodge Ram 1500 4WD

Been waiting a few months to write a review on it in order to develop a real opinion on the kit and I must say I’ve been impressed the whole way, parts are very high quality and truck went into alignment well afterwards too, cv angles look good and as long as you follow the directions your cv boots will be fine. As for tire size on stock wheels you can clear a 37” tire but for aftermarket rims 20x10 with a -44 offset you will barely rub with 35s so take that into account before purchasing. Total install cost at a shop near me was $300 plus an extra $60 alignment fee which I don’t consider to be too bad. Will probably buy again when I get a newer ram truck.

After doing a bit of research I decided on this kit to lift my 2014 Ram 1500 4x4. The kit wasn't difficult to put in, did it over a weekend. The lift is very noticeable and you have to get accustomed to getting in and hopping out once kit is in. Also purchased Bilstein Shock Absorber B8 for the Rear which kept the ride smooth with the lift. I haven't had the issue with the axle boot rubbing, actually had no issues for the past 2 years since its been on.

Love this lift! I installed it on my 2019 Ram 1500 Classic. Went on easy, just followed the directions. I went a little wider on the wheels than what is recommended. I went with a 20x10 with a -25mm offset with 35” tires. I have VERY MINIMAL rub at full extension. I also reused my stock rear shocks.

It’s a solid lift. The parts are well made and its the look I’ve been wanting for my truck. It took me a while to install using jack stands. Probably could’ve gotten it done in 4-5 hours if I had a car lift and a real strut compressor— not the $40 set I bought at Advanced Auto. Looking back, I wish I would’ve just taken it to the shop and paid the few hundred bucks to have a professional install it.It rides pretty rough. I bought Bilstein 5100 rear shock absorbers as well and installed them with the rest of the kit. I’ve read really good reviews about them, so I was expecting the ride to feel a little bit better than what it is. I’m sure it’s much worse if you reuse the factory rear shocks.With that being said, it’s cheaper and easier to install than the kits that drop your front axle. I’m sure the CV axle life is cut in half or even more with the new joint angles, but that’s just part of it if you don’t want that price or hassle.Overall, I’m happy with it. I’m running 295/65/20 ~ 35.5/12/20 BFG KM3s. They rubbed at full turn on the way to get my alignment, but afterwards I can lock in both directions with clearance.

Went with the front level for now much cheaper option but I did sacrifice quality this kit looked very well made maybe one day I’ll pick it up again and actually install it

The lift was surprisingly easy to install. Looks great. I love the stance it creates.

The media could not be loaded. 4 years on this lift. 20,000 on road miles and 100 percent garage kept. NOW upper control arm bushings are breaking off causing the arm to slide back and forth metal to metal contact. NO HARSH DRIVING JUST JUNK PARTS. Called MFG today. Not under warranty and 120.00 for 4 new bushings. Full new ucas are almost that price. I asked the guy if these replacements were better Quality and he responded he seen them last as long as 5 years.. WHAT. I MAY GET 5 YEARS OUT OF BUSHINGS THAT OEM LAST 20 PLUS....SEE PHOTOS AND BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK OF BS.Caution when buying this kit. MFG states for on road use only.I installed this kit on my 2016 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel 4x4 and after 10 hours of work I had it installed completely to specs. Before lowering it to the ground I noticed the CV boots were laying on the Lower Control Arm and also against the Strut Fork. Contacted customer support and I was told must align to new specs and this would correct the problem. Spent 110.00 for the alignment and a arrived home and lifted the front useing the cross member and found once again that as the suspension closes in on full droop the CV boots contact the sharp points on the LCA and edge on the Strut. I emailed a video link to a head ReadyLift and the same Hm"Head" tech replied that this interfetance is common when adding aftermarket components and this lift is not intended for Off Road use. In normal driving conditions the front tires shouldn't leave the ground. It was also noted that the only way to prevent this contact was to remove the lift and put it back to stock. I replied that they don't have to leave the ground just become and a off camber position like you're stuck in your front tire drops low because it's digging a hole or just standard maintenance where they take the vehicle and lift it and rotate the axles the CV boots visibly shaving rubber off as you slowly rotate them. The tech did not receive a reply to that. It is very upsetting to have spent so much labor and time installing this kit to find this end result. Yes I like the way it looks but ReadyLift needs to lable this kit accordingly as an on road only use. I never would have instalked this had I know beforehand that I cannot take my 4x4 truck off road or on bumpy dirt roads. If the suspension is in any position that would possibly lower drop the control arms even for just a second the CV axle boots will be damaged and expenive repairs required.

Super easy install minus the Sway bar drop bracket.... of all pieces.The bracket holes didn’t quite lineup with stock. I was worried about stripping the threads, and after half an hour of trying to finess it in, we just forced it in. It’s not coming out.FYI:I put 35”x12.5”xR20’s Mud Terrains On the stock rim with this kit and there is a slight rub on the UCA. It is so minor I doubt anything will come of it, but I would recommend rims with -12mm offset (Minimum), or putting 1” wheel spacers (minimum).
