not sure if this has been mentioned yet. but the rough country 3/2 lift claims to center the rear wheel. i’m debating going with it vs the readylift. really want that wheel centered but don’t wanna deal with ccd issues.

Here's my '24 Max Stealth Performance that used to have the CCD. Combo of Ready Lift and Rough Country. The 300 or so lbs of bikes and rack caused me to add the sumo springs after this pic. I'm still working on the error codes with the Icon by pass (hopefully). 4wd/2wd still works. Just missing the different throttle modes.

Just upgraded my summer rims to a more aggressive tire. Went with Toyo Open Country AT3's, 275/60R20. Raised the vehicle about an inch with the taller tires.
Quite happy with the look. Went with a set of VORTEK VRP-501GB +18 offset. They definitely poke out slightly more than the factory, but it actually seems like it's mostly just sidewall, the actual tread is still inside the wheel wells.
Here's a side by side of my winter 20's (that are down to about 6 depth
And now the actual rims and tires on!! (This is just after putting on so haven't washed the rubber yet)
Oops, guess I'll make another post since we can only post 5 pics at a time!

Sorry about that! Here's the continuation of the last post VORTEK VRP-501GB 20" +18 with Toyo Open Country AT3's
So do/did need to trim the mud flaps a bit, no rubbing on the wheel well liner. It's mostly just when cranked and backing in my driveway that it rubs a little. So far quite pleased. Haven't had a chance to take out on the highway and check fuel mileage or noticeable road noise, been busy with house projects. Will update when I do. Thanks for looking!

Update on my RC 3/2 lift kit....long story short my wife is 4 months pregnant did NOT like the way it rode (stiff) so I took the front R/C struts and went with the ICON 2.5's and man what a difference like day and night!, shocks are set at the lowest settings and drives so much smoother. Will post pics soon

I agree with your wife. Way over sprung. Interested to see the pics. Did you retain the RC UCA?
Yes I kept the UCA'S... will post when all this west texas rain / wind clears up lol

Good morning. Just purchased 2024 LTD Stealth. I’m wondering if a 3/2 Ready lift with some 20’s on Michelin Defenders instead of the 22” Generals will help with vibration and ride quality.
Live in Miami, Florida and will not off-road. But was wondering what the purpose of the lift was outside of off-roading. Any advantage for non-off-roadr’s/daily commuters?
I know there are plenty of threads on vibration with these vehicles. I’ve had this new car road force balanced 3 separate times with about a 70% reduction in vibration after 73 mph.
Road tested with the shop foreman at the Ford dealership and he basically said these vehicles just simply have this issue at those speeds/will improve with time/1st oil change at 3K miles/possibly swapping out for new tire brand.

I just switched from a LT General tire to Michelin Defenders LTX M/S2 & night & day difference on ride quality! Had my '19 expy for 4 years & it rides better then ever now. Worth it!
