I love the look of 4" lifts, but can't seem to justify the associated cutting. Definitely curious about the kit, but some more details are needed as to how the cv angles are corrected, etc.

Would also like to see this kit work with coilovers.

I get the feeling this kit is a lot like the 3.5" rough country kit the GM's have. Even with a diff drop, it's still gonna be hard on the factory components....

subscribing because I'm curious about the cv angles and the possible diff drop without cutting.

If this is at all possible and someone can release such a beast, I'm sure they will have to beat off customers with a stick to stem the interest...

What is the benefit of the upgraded upper control arms if we are still dealing with extreme CV angles?

I've been considering a BOSS coilover kit set at 2.5", I'd love to go 4" but don't want to cut.
Even at 2.5" I don't like the CV angles... which is why I have hesitated...
My truck is basically a high mileage pavement queen with very little and light offroad.

The UCA upgrade is there to help the upper ball joint angle, which will be horrible at 3.5". And the diff spacer, if there is one, will alleviate the CV angles a bit. The problem with this style of kit is they don't do anything for the lower ball joint or the tie rods. These kits can be a pain to properly align and keep aligned as well... And in all honesty knowing ReadyLift it'll probably be cheaper to just get a 4" lift from another company.

Im going back this Friday so they can add longer control arms and a smaller lift block for the rear. They will also be installing some 18x9 +1 Fuel Beast wheels and 295-70-18 Toyo Mt's!! The truck has been great with zero issues. Im very happy with it. I will post some more info and pics after Friday.
