Graygoose, I'm running the Readylift 3.5 on my 22 Platinum with 295/65-20 Toyo AT3s on the factory wheels. The tires are 35.1 tall....... No trimming or cutting. I do have 1/4" wheel spacers on the front smooth as silk and just the look I was after. running the 2" blocks in rear that came in the RL kit the cab hieght is 81"

Any photos you can share, by chance? I have this kit sitting in my garage at present. Just waiting on a few other mods before installing it.

Ive heard that this kit puts cv angles waaaay out and makes the ride super harsh.

Can you confirm or deny this?

MTNMN The cv angles are definitely more with the kit. But I think the upper control arm helps out. As far as ride goes it firmer between the lift and the 10 ply tires its to be expected but still not bad being a Platinum . My Ford dealer installed the Readylift and tires at the dealership before I even drove the truck. I wouldn't change a thing

well I measured, doesn't look like 81" will fit

Well thats stinks..... is it a standard 7 ft tall garage door ? sometimes the doors can be adjusted to go up a little more.

Well I had a lifted Ram on 35's, and I parked once in the center of the garage, to clean it...and as I backed out, the shark fin caught the door and ripped it off the rollers. It was 'just' tall enough on the sides, but in the center, it was just a tad lower from garage droop, and it caught it. Brought the door down on roof of my Ram.

I like everything I read about this ReadyLift 3.5 SST lift and considering it for my 2022 f150 4WD, but I’m trying to understand how the CV angles are effecting wearing parts. I read places on this forum where people are cautioning against anything over 2.5” leveling because of CV angles. Does the UCA’s that come with the 3.5” kit do anything to reduce the angle? I don’t see the correlation. TIA.

Hobno I went with the 3.5 SST for a few reasons. # 1 the dealer sold the kit and installed it. #2 If I had of went with a "4 lift it would require cutting ( notching the frame) and there's no going back stock. I had the lift installed as soon as it hit the dealers lot and love the look. My tires are 295/65-20 Toyo AT3s on factory Platinum wheels. As far as CV angles yes they're not stock. will they wear faster.... probably..... not a big deal. its not like replacing a transmission or a engine. Good luck !!!

Thanks! I also don’t want to start cutting on a new truck, so I’ll probably go with it.

I had the 3.5” SST lift installed a couple weeks ago and I am real happy with the stance, height and ride quality. I wanted to maintain the factory ride and this gave me that option. Still have the stock 33” tires for now but next step will be to upgrade to 35’s.
