ReadyLift 2.5 SST and Rake on SPORT trim level

[56cbr600rr]

I have a Sport Max Tow. I have a ReadyLift 2.5 SST kit I have not put on yet. Not 100%, but leaning towards KO2's in 37's.

Not interested in how the kit works for Rubicons/Mojaves..

For those with Sports... how is the rake? Does it look decent? What did the kit really measure out at on lift? Did you do 37's? Did you do anything else to bring the front up a tad more?

I did a 2 1/2" leveling kit on my sport with the rubicon wheel and tire package. It cam out perfect. Looks way better. I thought it would be too much but worked out perfectly.

I did the tha same lift with out the 37s. I'm running 285 70 17. with stock wheels and they slightly rub.
I have 2023 gladiator sport s.

They rake doest look bad.

It will give you 2.5 inches of lift. I got the Readylift 2.5 inch lift kit on mine and It's a puck lift so that's what you will get. I also ran 37's with this lift as well. I got no rub but I also got a Max Tow sport with the wide track axles. No rub with 35's or 37's on stock wheels. I got aftermarket wheels now.

That stance on the 37's is perfect. Any side profile shots on the 37's???

I've got a Max Tow like you do... Thinking the SST 2.5, 37 inch KO2's, and factory wheels at first with 1.75 in wheel spacers...

Also, you still on the 4.10's aren't you?

Yes I'm still on the 4.10s, i get about 17 mpg's average around town and interstate combined, a little better in the summer time. I'm good with that, it's got plenty of power for me still. I keep it under 80 on the interstate.

You’ll get 2.5” exactly. Ends up with a slight rake, but it’s probably up to you whether it’s too aggressive or not. For me, I’d prefer to have some rake to compensate for any weight while towing/hauling.

Mine is a non-max tow sport s (Texas trail) w/ the 2.5” Readylift sst on -12mm offset wheels wrapped in 35x12.50r18s. I’ve got 0 rub currently, & I’m pretty sure I’d be able to get away with 37s with no rub at least while on pavement. Considering you have the wider axles, I’d bet you’ll be clear with 37s and a reasonable offset.

A Max tow will clear 37's on stock wheels with that lift on.

how's it look??

I used to run that with 35's and it sat almost exactly level running empty. If you wheel, say goodbye to your rear fender flairs. People that claim 35s and 37s fit with a leveling kit must not wheel or they installed longer bump stops in the rear. My 35's wedged against the flairs when I still had about 1/4" to the stock bump stops. I was surprised the flairs did not break off and I had to stop wheeling or accept the loss of the flairs.

I had 0mm offset on 17x9s with BFG 35x12.5 at the time.

If you want rake (like I did) stick with the AEV spacer kit. The Ready lift is intended to eliminate rake.

Looks fantastic. Some have stated it eliminates rake. It does NOT. It takes out 1/2 of an inch or rake. To me, it is perfect as we still tow the boat, etc.. With 1.75 inch wheel spacers (Factory wheels) this SST kit, and the 35 Duratracs...... the best way to explain it is.... It looks percect without sacrificing gearing and still wanting to tow... AND NOT REGEAR. In person to me it looks GREAT, however, for some reason photos make them appear a little smaller. So in short, 37's looks best, but not wanting to regear, letting my kids get in and out easy, and still being some "street" practical, I am very happy. Also, for reference if I measure ground clearance right under the B pillar at the lowest part of the under-vehicle, I am measuring 14.75 inches or real ground clearance.

 

[56cbr600rr]

And some light wheeling no rubbing at all for me how it sits..

 

[Jerhemi]

Weird it doesn’t kill the rake. That is what they told me. The front spacers are 2.5” while rear are 2”. I tow and didn’t want to chance it. Shoot some pics ??
