That’s awesome, thanks for the info. I’m seriously very torn, but maybe I will stick with the ready lift after all. Anything to keep the field as close to the nice factory right as possible. I also don’t wanna mess up any of the sensors or technology, but with all the posts on here it seems like none of these 2 inch kits will mess anything up. Are you familiar with tire size at all? I’m trying to see if I can safely fit 285 65 20 on a 20x9 wheel with +18 offset on these 2” kits. I watch that video from the Canadian dealer that you posted, but I didn’t want to go as wide as he had. My biggest thing is to get maximum tire size without rubbing, cutting or trimming.
Has anyone confirmed?

I’ve had two shops today pitch me the Rough Country 2.0” level kit. One said they would bump me up to the ReadyLift for a bit of an upcharge (waiting to hear back from the other). I have not heard/read a lot of members putting Rough Country level kits on? What should I be concerned about? Is ReadyLift pucks that much better?

I’ve been told the same thing (readylift > rough country) but also don’t understand why.

Installed the falcon sport / tow haul kit today haven’t put too many miles on it yet but my 30 minute drive home was absolutely phenomenal! Much better ride over stock running the toyo open country AT3 in a 35x12.5 on a 18x9.5 +20 offset zero rubbing and no crash bar modification or trimming. I’ll get better pictures later...

I've been wanting to do the same setup. Where did you get your Falcon Sports? They seem very hard to find! Doesn't help I'm in Canada either.

So, tentatively, I’m going to go with the Rough Country kit. That is the dealers preferred kit, they will back the work, and by having them do the work I have documentation that Ford installed the level kit prior to delivery. The idea that a level kit will void the warranty has largely been debunked, but it doesn’t hurt to have the documentation.

I plan on fox shocks for a slight lift. Dilemma I have is seeing so much butt sag from even 2.5" lifts. Wondering how I keep some rake
One of the things people forget is to add a leaf spring in the back which stops the sag. A set of springs cost around $199 a set.

The falcon setup still has about a half inch of rake.

Questions for anyone here:

1) Anyone know what the issue is with the rear dampening in the rear for Falcon Shocks?

2) how easy is it to adjust the lift height with these or fox shocks?

3) do people actually add a leaf spring to the rear? Haven't heard of this

Can anyone compare this Ford Performance kit with the 2" Ready Lift? I don't mind spending the money, but is it really worth it? Will the end result be similar? I like the look of the 2" Ready Lift honestly, I like how it keeps a little rake, but if the Ford Performace/Fox system is a better ride and same looks, I may go that way. Thoughts?

I am also in Canada looking for a leveling kit. Options are definitely limited.

Ive got a Rugged Off Road 2.5"F & 3"R setup in my 2017. Im waiting on delivery of 2021 very soon, and would like a similar setup.

I see the Mammoth on American Trucks, but with conversion and shipping its a bit expensive. My supplier has Ready Lift, but they don't list a rear yet, just the front.

The Mammoth front spacer looks exactly like my ROR, and on the AT website it is listed as 15-21.

My other option is remove my spacers from my 17 and try them in the 21. I wasnt going to bother as the 17 set up cost me less than $250, so for another $250, it saves me the hassle of removing them.
