Finally completed the installation and alignment of the ReadyLift 3/2 Leveling Kit with the CCD suspension, along with Nitto Recon Grappler tires. The rear wheels now sit perfectly centered within the wheel wells, and the tires measure around 34.5", fitting without any clearance issues with the power running boards. The only slight rubbing occurs on the front passenger wheel at full right turn lock, lightly brushing against the wheel well liner – minor enough that trimming isn't necessary.
Parts Used:
- Lift Kit: ReadyLift 3/2 Lift Kit for CCD (SKU: 69-2831)
- Tires: Nitto Recon Grapplers LT285/55R22
- Wheels: Black Rhino Kunene 2222x9.5
- Additional Rear Suspension Components: Extended lower trailing arms, tie rods, and upper control arms (ensuring proper centering of the rear wheels and alignment) all from Rough Country.
Please refer to the pictures below for a detailed view of the parts, including part numbers.
Important Installation Tip:
The instructions do not mention the need to rotate the rear struts, which is essential since the ReadyLift spacers rotate the struts 180 degrees. This same adjustment was required on kits for my previous 2015 and 2016 models. Additionally, I recommend using a high-quality set of spring compressors with a bracket to prevent twisting during installation.
Overall, the installation was straightforward, taking approximately five hours to complete.
