Ready Lift 3-2 kit installed with CCD suspension

In response, they want me to send the link to the sensor parts and then possibly reach out to him to see what they are all about if not clear to them.

These allow you to put the sensor arms back in their factory position so your system functions as if nothing was ever changed.

I'm in agreement with you, unfortunately, my dealer isn't! Since I'm in a small town with only one Ford dealer, doesn't give me much for options. I might try chatting with the service manager, Although I suppose the man whose name is on the sign has a little more say in the matter.

A lot of dealers sell aftermarket parts... If you buy the lift from them they will definitely go out of their way to look the other way when it comes to warranty issues. Might be a premium on price but bring in a better price and see if they will price match or at very least meet half way... They are making money on the labor to install as well...

Good luck!

I was intending to update what i went through when installing my lift on the CCD given the advice published here I just hadnt got to it yet. Now I have an issue and am hoping to get some advice from others who have a lift installed on CCD and or caution those who are thinking about it.
As for the front, I attempted to switch the lh and rh struts but no matter which way i rotated it i could not get the upper mount to line up aswell as the lower mounting points. i spent a good hour just trying different orientations thinking I was doing something wrong and I decided to move forward without switching the shocks. when the car was on a hoist there did not seem to be any clearance issues.
As for the rear switching the shocks did work as described and caused no issue.
So, lift was done, all was well and good, no driving issues. I was stoked on it!
My wife took the car to the dealer for our free oil change. and they informed her that the cv boots were torn...
as soon as she got back i crawled under there and sure enough.. those solenoids were rubbing on the cv boots and tore both front boots.
I have to find a solution to this issue, I am too deep in this one to go back to stock..
anyway, if anyone has experience with this I would appreciate input. and if you think all is well with your CCD lift.... I suggest you take a look at the cv boots where the axle goes through the knuckle.

See my previous post. We used a spring compressor and took the strut apart, allowing us to rotate the top spacer to align the holes for reinstallation. We did this only after trying to switch the right/left struts, which, as you indicate, will not work (at least on my 2019).

Great thread, I appreciate all the insights. Has anybody tracked their MPG before and after the lift? I’m curious how much lifting the truck changes the aerodynamics, and therefor fuel efficiency. (Let’s be clear—Nobody buys a land yacht like these and expects it to be a Prius, but I drive 25,000+ miles a year, so I’m curious.)

I too am a bit curious, should we make a new thread?
Though honestly the tires you choose will have a bigger effect on milage than the lift. AT and MT tires are tougher ie thicker/heavier so rotation mass is going up. Then compound that with taller sizes and now gear ratios are changing, then when you go wider your contact patch is going up which has plusses (more dry traction) but that also creates more resistance.

Anyone tried aftermarket upper control arms with the spacer lift? From what I gather it helps keep the factory geometry and creates some extra space for tire width at the same time.

Ready lift 3/2 worked great with the adjustable CCD links from ebay!
My end result was nearly on at an after measurement of 2.75 inch front and 1.75on rear.

Hey man. This is the best looking I’ve seen! Please exactly what size tires and rims? Offset? And did u have to trim anywhere? Thanks!

Here is my CDD / 3/2 readylift with 33s.

After reading these posts I was worried about this with my '19. But in my case, switching sides worked flawlessly front and back. YMMV. I really appreciate everyone sharing their experiences. I'll post up a pic after I get my new wheels this weekend.
