Thanks for keeping the conversation going gentleman, loving all the posts and pictures. I’m preoccupied on vacation but I check in when my wife isn’t glaring at me. ?

So my next question is reference needing a new Track Bar to center the axel left and right. If I understand everything so far, doing the Teraflex 1.5 spacer lift does not require anything else? This kit only comes with the spacers. I have read post that others put this on and that was all.
Or put on the AEV 2 inch spacer lift which comes with a few more items and also get the GEO brackets for this one.
Do either of those lift mess with the axels being left to right and would require the new track bars?
the answer is…it just depends. On the truck, and how persnickety you are.

my fabtech 2” springs required a track bar in the rear. It was off by an entire tread block.

if you dont want to spend the money unless you have to, then lift it and see where your truck is and go from there. You can drive for a bit and be fine. opinions vary, but mine is the axle needs to be centered. Period. In reality, anything less than a tread block should drive pretty straight.

Kurt, were your fabtech springs stiffer than the stock springs?

What’s the consensus on ReadyLift? I am about 94% sold on the AEV 2” spacer lift… but always window shopping.

I’ve seen this lift up close…. yes it’s cheap but you get what you pay for…. and 37s look small.

There’s a Mojave by me at a dealer with this lift on it. I called a local shop to me and they installed the lift. They said guy wasn’t happy with ride and didn’t want to spend more money to fix it. ??? Perfect example of someone not knowing what they bought and wanting it to be something it’s not lol. So many better options then this lift…but at a cost…

$1,300 is cheap for just 4 springs, control arms and a track bar? ?‍? lol I went and looked and Clayton is $2,500-$3,200 for the 3.5” lift. Holy cow. ?
