ReadyLift 2.5" Leveling Kit Install Ford f-250 Superduty 

Thank you I appreciate the positive feedback glad I was able to help.

I Really appreciate how you Explained Everything and Walked Through the Entire Processes, My Leveling Kit Did Not Come with Any Instructions, Thanks !

Just did this on my 2015 F-350 srw last night. You will definitely need to jack it up really high to drop down the axle enough. I didn’t think those springs were that compressed 😂

Update: I got it installed. If anyone is thinking about doing this, make sure you jack it up HIGH on stands so you can slide in the spring with the new spacer. If you have a 2016 or older you won’t need the brake line bracket extension, but you will need to flip the line 180 degrees and use the provided bracket that comes with the kit (chrome ones). You’ll need to loosen the nut on the line just a bit for it to flip. Other than that just follow the video.

@@Diesel67 i did not use the brake line bracket extension either. The chrome brackets look identical to the ones that are on my truck at the moment so I couldn’t figure out what they were for. How’s your truck ride? Mine rode pretty much the same as it did before. Took it in for alignment though and my caster was 1 out of spec. (0.0) on each side. Truck drives fine still but i ordered 2 degree caster shims to get my caster back into spec.

If you look at the hole on the new chrome brackets, the flat side on it changes. That’s so the metal head on the brake line can fit after you flip it. My truck rides fine but drifts to one side even after alignment. I think I need a cam alignment kit.

At 1.5 inches you don’t need to worry about the track bar or shock extensions you should be fine.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I think its possible with one jack just go slow and be careful.

Thanks! No haven’t had any issues with an offset axle but did have to get new casters which sounds like you already got that figured out by ordering the Carli ones.

@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE appreciate the response... you have the BEST video out there... details put you up at the top. I.may do the same thing and give you a shout out on mine

@@tgrisko sounds good man I appreciate the positive comments let me know if you run into any snags.

Not every kit comes with shock extensions or sway bar extensions as long as it drives fine and your not get any uneven tire wear you should be fine.

Thanks, yeah you could try that definitely worth a shot.

Thanks for the positive feedback! On a 2005 I'm not quite sure you will just have to see what it looks like after as far as the rearend. You may have to put like a 1" block or something just depends what it looks like after. On this truck it sat up just a hair more on the front then it did the rear but he had me install rear airbags which he was able to fill to make it the way he wanted it to look.. As far as tire size you will have no problems clearing 33" tires.

@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE You said even with the rear three in blocks this sat nose high? So you think with the 2020 one needs to go up to 4 inch block?

@@williamedwards6496 check out the ready lift 69-2740 kit because it includes 2.5" lift for the front and new 2" blocks for the rear.

@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE Yes sir that is the kit I got, after buying the 1.5 level kit. That kit does not fit the 20+ trucks, sits up on the perch ramp. Leaving a gap under it. I just want to run 35's so I hope its not too tall. My daily and drive 44 miles one way to work so I need some fuel economy on the 7.3L.

The best ones out there right now are probably these Carli ones but they are pricey but we’ll worth it. www.dieselpowerproducts.com/p-carli-suspension-caster-correction-shim-kit-05-19-ford-f-250350-powerstroke

Yes because after I put this kit on and the customer took it to the alignment shop they ended up putting the upgraded casters on.

No snow plow prep package it is the basic stx model.

Thanks. I ran 35x12.50R17's on Black Rhino Warlords with -12 offset all day long stock suspension, with the snow plow prep package, no trimming, no rub, no scrub, with some Husky mud flaps whose mounting area stuck into the wheel well up to 3/4". Now I have a '23 I'll be taking possession of on Wednesday & based on that I'm all but certain I can get 37x13.50R17 on the dark tint version of the Black Rhino's same offset, but hearing so many other posts, Google searches, etc I'm almost questioning that, yet have had two places through whom one can order wheel & tire packages guarantee that fitment as well, though that was me saying the snow plow prep package was the equivalent to a 2" leveling kit. The '17 died in a black ice incident late December, so I don't have it to confirm what I'm 99.9% certain off.

This is my buddy’s truck and he still has it no issues at all with the leveling kit.

The kit comes with a caster/camber adjustment. Any thoughts on why there aren’t any instructions on how to install? They don’t even mention the shims in the parts provided list..

Yes you will need to get a front end alignment afterwards.

@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE just set up an appt to get it aligned. Your video was a great help

@@72dyme thanks for the positive feedback and support I really do appreciate it. You could also fix the steering wheel yourself by adjusting the drag link but they will do that when you take it to get aligned.

Great video. Appreciate the awareness and care taken beyond a set of instructions (the call out on the additional 4x4 vacuum lines and diff breather when lowering the diff).

Yeah

No your shocks absorb the bumps from the road. Your coil springs pretty much hold the axle up.

Yes, when the truck it jacked up or the front wheels come off of the ground, the shocks limit suspension/axle drop!

Yes you will need to get an alignment afterwards.

Did the install the track bar relocation bracket?

No new springs just the spacers.

I was asking about the kit that comes with springs better.. They have a kit with spacers and they have a kit with new springs. Maybe you didn't understand my question.

@@makcc11 The new springs will give a stiffer ride vs factory springs

@@tgrisko yea but putting a spacer in springs is going to make them ride stiffer also...

@@makcc11 A spacer is just that.. you are not compressing it more or changing the spring rate...just making the contact points farther apart... just like an ol style lift block on rear leafs springs... does change the spring at all... just the height...

If I wasn’t recording it probably a couple hours.

@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE awesome thanks for the reply and thanks for the video! Brb. Going to try it really quick. Also, I just bought a new ready lift kit and it comes with the caster shims now.

It will help out a lot but readylift does sell the same kit without a trac bar relocation bracket so no it’s not required.

@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE if i wasnt to get one will it cause issues or anything?

@@jamestipton7736 trac bar helps to keep your axle centered while going down the road. You may have alignment issues I wouldn’t recommend it. An adjustable trac bar is your best option but they can be pricy.

@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE Okay thank you for telling me! I believe i have an adjustable one already i know its moog brand

If you can do it yourself definitely worth it just follow my video. If you run into problems just let me know.

I know there’s better leveling kits out there but the guy I did this for has no complaints or issues so far with it.

Lol 😂 where you located?
