Default ReadyLift 2.25" level kit

Anyone installed the new Readylift 2.25" level kit? Supposedly they redesigned theirs for the new suspension on the 2015. Comments and pic appreciated as I am looking to go this route with BFG KO2s 285/65/20 with stock rims.

Got one on few weeks ago, had a 2" that netted me only 1 3/4" lift, this was real close to 2.25"

Need to take better pics but this is what I got now.

I think Ready Lift knows they net less height on 2015's. The 2.5" is now called 2.25 wtf, nobody has ever made a 2.25". And the 2" should be a 1.75".

Thanks for the pic if you could get a better one that would be awesome and help me see what the spacing would be between wheel and wheel well

And a 2x4 should be called a 1.5x3.5.

I just installed the ReadyLift 2.25" kit. It's a good quality kit, although not all that easy to install. Took it to a reputable local shop (not a dealer) that I trust and they had to drop the LCAs to get enough clearance to drop the strut the and install the block.

Anyway, I talked to ReadyLift before buying the kit and they told me that they'd modeled and tested different size lifts, but on the 2015 2.25" is the max lift for a stock front suspension. Beyond that you run into geometry issues and run the risk of premature balljoint and CV joint wear.

Like it or not, OEMs usually don't design truck suspensions with aftermarket lift kits in mind, so there's going to be a limit on what's safe to install. Suspension or chassis problems that can be attributed as resulting from a lift kit you can probably expect to be denied on a warranty claim. So, it's buyer beware.
