Found this kit used for $200. Pulled off to go to a 6" lift. Thought about picking it up, doing a 4" block and new u bolts and running it. Or could I use 2.5" icon coils and maybe a 1"-1.5" spacer with it? Want it to sit level or maybe 1" higher in the front. Don't want any rake. I'll upgrade to some fox shocks if I decide I'm happy with the height.
Same kit as this link:

Thoughts about this 3" spacer lift?

The icon coils with a spacer is going to ride much nicer. They don't call it rough country because it rides good. That height is what I have with a 4'' block. If you measure it on a dead level surface, the front wheel well is an inch taller than the rear, but it doesn't look like it leans backwards.

2.5" spacer and 4" block sits dead level on mine. You're gonna want a trac-bar drop bracket to center the axle as well.

It's just a 3" spacer with some rough country shocks so I don't expect it to ride great, but figured since I'm using the stock coils it's be about the same. Getting the kit for $150 so I just wanted to make sure it would still work with the icon coils and 1.5" spacer. Don't know how much lift I can get out of the drop brackets it comes with. I'll probably order a set of icon coils to go with it.
TripleE44 your truck looks good man. I live in krum, just north of Denton. See your from Keller.

Thanks unbroken I'll pick one up.

I went ahead and bought this kit. It's missing the two bolts to hold the spacers down. Anyone happen to know what size and thread they are? What's the max height I run with these drop down brackets and track bar brackets it comes with?

The ready lift is almost the same price as a full suspension lift.

Doesn't sound like a bad deal at all. If I found one for that cheap I'd probably buy it too, especially the fox shocks.

Anyone know what size and thread bolts I'll need for the spacers?

Another vote for 3 1/2" Ready Lift kit
I put on my 12 with 1000 miles and have 35k now and not one issue. Rides exactly like stock, doesn't replace shocks just spaces and handles great do to parts to drop front driveline to match factory angles. Didn't want to jack up ride on new truck and it sure didn't

Definitely check them out,once your a customer & sign up for the email offers they'll offer some very very good discounts & that's when i purchase from them,could not beat that price on fox 2.0's anywhere as the going rate is aprox $130 ea.
