I see that they say the kit is 2.5" in the front but where does it specify how much rear lift there is? I don't see it anywhere.

I went with the Ready Lift Levelling kit. Really good design, made from solid aluminum. But then I found that it looked like it was sitting high in the front because of the extra "hump" in the hood. I then ordered 1.5" spacers for the rear from Top Gun Customz. You can get them in pretty much any size. I wanted the more "levelled" look so I didnt go with 2". Haven't tried yet but supposed to be able to fit 35s, but I also have 20"s, although that shouldnt be an issue.

Good work, the 275/65s look great, they are better proportioned in the sidewall to rim diameter ratio. Now all I need is a leveling kit too... post pics when you can!

I went with the Mopar kit for mine. It made the look like a truck. Very pleased with the result and kept warranty. I just got it 3 weeks ago so the mods will keep coming.

I had the dealer install it. Parts were $199,labor I think was $240. Labor rates are pretty steep here, but i didn't want anything to haunt me in terms of warantee.

Wow, $240 for dealer install. Did that include an allignment? My dealer won't give me a price until they see the kit, BS. So that is whay I hadn't ordered it. My local 4x4 shop will put the Daystar kit on front and rear for $100. Then I have to get an alignment.
