ReadyLift 1.75 Leveling Kit Questions

[Wes]

So I've searched and read a LOT, but can't find any newer posts about the ReadyLift 1.75 UCM issue that you can't use Auto 4x4. Is that still an issue? What other issues are out there? My local dealer/installer says this is the only kit they'll install, and they don't know of any existing issues.

This is also only issue I’ve found as well and it’s from the manufacturer recommendations. 4x4 and 2x4 work beautifully by themselves, just not auto - it probably has to do with all the little sensors and new permanent angle from the lift. Im sure if you contact ReadyLift and ask why, they’d tell you the specifics.

Is there a good leveling option that doesn’t compromise the ride and allows auto 4x4 to work? I hate the non leveled rake but like auto 4x4.

Hey guys.
Whats the definition of not working.
I bought my '21 3500 this summer 2023.
The guy that owned it had just put ~35" nitto tires on fuel wheels, 20".
He had the shop trim the plastic a bit and crank the torsion bars slightly to accommodate no rub. The bottom of the fenderwell clearance to the tire was 1/2" closer in the back. I couldn't stand it. I put an 1.5" block in the back and it put a slight rake of 3/4" higher in the back and looks much better, especially when towing. Still rides 50 times better than my sons f250
Only thought is I wonder if I should have put a shock extension on but it still rides good and I don't climb rocks.
*I think 4x4 work ok as I don't have any errors and I run in auto.

I was in the same boat as you. Figured if I waited any longer….I would go overboard and go with a full 6” lift! Went with the RL 2.0 SST. No regrets. I assume the Auto mode and its sensors to go in/out of 4WD will end with premature failure of components vs full time 4WD. Regardless….its still a turn of the dial from inside the cab. It beats hoping out into a mud pit to lock those old school manual hubs…..

I have a 23 with that specific leveling kit from Ready Lift. I've run it in auto several times since we put it on and no problems. But I read the same thing before and decided to risk it. Not sure what circumstances that the auto doesn't work but mine has not been a problem.

I called ReadyLift today. They said all leveling kit run a risk of having issues with auto 4x4. He said it should work but may vibrate. Glad yours seems good.

So update - I went with the Ready Lift 1.75 leveling kit and put almost 200 miles on it before I realized it was in Auto 4x4. I took it out and will try it when weather permits. Smooth as silk so far though.
