Default Readylift Leveling kit for 09 Ram Info

I just replaced the tires on my 09, after 2 months I could not stand them any more, 275/60/20
Anyway I was going to level the front and was leaning to the Readylift 2" leveling kit #66-1030. I've heard lots of complaints on some of the other kits, but not much info on here about the Readylift kit.

Anyone installed this kit and what do think of the ride and the kit it self.
I'm not looking for cheap, looking for quailty, price is not the issue.

Thanks

That advice seems ill considered.

The 4+ inch systems generally involve cutting the truck and are therefore hard to reverse. The <2.5 systems can be installed and removed with hand tools in your driveway if you are motivated.

Not really the same ytpe of product at all.

The only leveling system I used was the top gun customz on my 06. It raised the front about 2.5 inches. I also added a 1.5 inch block to the back. The kit worked great and I had no problems with it.

A lift is not an option due to the fact I transport my 80 year old mother around, she is in good shape and can get in the truck now with little help, but would be unable with a full lift. I have no interest in installing nerf bars or running boards, dont care for the look. Power steps are cool but over priced for the use they would get.

Input on the Readylift kit, anyone?

something to look into is the bilistein 5100 adjusting shocks or the vs3 from edelbrock they lift about the same or just a bit taller but it gives you a better ride than stock over all kinds of terrain and if you decide to go more perfromance oriented BMS motorsports makes a uniball style a arm that gives you ridiculous suspension travel i put the bilistein and BMS arm and love it it fits a 35 and maybe could fit a 37 with alot of trimming but on the readylift great product had it on mine for a while just wanted something a little more aggresive easy install

I was looking at these shocks as well. How much lift did you actually get out of the bilisteins? I'm assuming you are at the 2.8" lift setting.
