This is what mine looks like on a 2.5" Rough Country Leveling kit. Can't go wrong and gets rid of the dip on the front.

Sorry to quote an older comment, but the bedside graphics on your truck look great. Where'd you get them?!

I went with a 2 inch ReadyLift level. It gave me a 1.5 inch rise in the front. Iā€™m a good inch lower than the rear and have not been happy with it. Every time I look at Maggie I wish she was lifted just a bit more. Needless to say I have a 2.5 inch kit sitting in my garage waiting to be installed. I would love to get tires to go with it but after spending a lot in other ā€˜upgradesā€™ I wonā€™t even try to justify that and will have to wait until the oem DynaProā€™s are worn.
Alan,

I just ordered the ReadyLift Kit off Amazon Prime, looks like I might be sending it back. How does it ride though? Similar to Stock? Thanks. Which 2.5" kit did you get?

I just ordered this kit recently but am now questioning my decision. Your truck looks killer but you think you could post a pic from a straight on side view? A lot of people have complained about this kit because it does not raise the truck as much as they had hoped. What are your impressions in terms of esthetics and handling/ride? Also could you tell me what size those Firestones are? Thanks for your help!

Best one iā€™ve got. Iā€™m not sure what the exact lift was, because I didnā€™t measure before. I wasn't too worried about it because I still wanted a tiny rake, otherwise I would have went to the 2.5. The hardware that comes with it sucks. The spacers are great. Basic stuff. The Firestoneā€™s are 265/70/17. If I had to do it again, I would have went with the Fox kit. If you just want a cheap level, just pick one. Hope that helps.

Wow another awesome pic. Yeah that helps a lot. Thanks. Maybe I will keep that kit and have it installed then. The more I see trucks with a very slight rake the more I like them vs fully leveled. And yeah I was basically just looking for a good basic leveling kit. What is your reasoning for saying you would opt for the Fox kit if doing it over? Price isnā€™t my biggest deciding factor, Iā€™m not going to be doing any heavy off-roading so not sure I need the Fox kit unless the ride was far superior.

No reason other than upgraded shocks and coils for the little roads around here. I wonā€™t really wheel this Ranger as I have a Jeep Rubicon on 37ā€™s I use for most off-road treks. I will say this truck rides pretty damn good but I wish it had a little less sway. I ordered some rear Fox shocks to see if it takes some of that away.

Alan,

I noticed no change in the ride. ReadyLift makes a 2 inch and a 3 inch kit. I have the 2 inch. I agree the spacers (2 piece Top and bottom) are great quality and the hardware ho hum.
Here are my measurements after the kit was installed....OEM Dynapro ATā€™s.

Drivers side - Ground to wheel well 36 3/8 (Rear 37 3/8)
Passenger side- Ground to wheel well 36 7/8 (Rear 37 7/8)

This gave me exactly a 1 inch rake which I initially liked....but after looking at it for a couple months raising the front another 1/2-1 inch would be perfect....as least thats what I think. Depending on the angle you look at it sometimes it looks ok but to me most of the time it needs the extra lift. Iā€™ll be increasing tire size bit not until the oem Dynaproā€™s wear.
I came across a RC 2.5 kit deal I couldnā€™t pass up and will hopefully be installing that this weekend.....Iā€™m hopeful it will give me the extra 1/2-1 inch Iā€™m looking for. I think this is the way to go for now but if I was going to be running the truck off road and such Iā€™d really be looking into the Eibach or Fox kits.
Iā€™ll probably be posting the ReadyLift kit in the marketplace next week if all goes well.
