Shock replacement front and rear recommendations on 22 AT4 refresh w/ ReadyLift 3920 SST

[NapN33d3d]

Hello all. I'm needing help with a shock decision. I picked up my 2022 refresh AT4 about 3 weeks ago. One of the first things I've done so far is add the ReadyLift 3920 SST leveling kit. It raised the front up 2" and the rear 1". I installed Nitto Trail Grappler LT275/65R20. Everything has been good, but I don't like the 1" of rake on the truck. I also, have noticed the body roll with the it. So, I'm wanting to install some aftermarket shocks. I have looked at the Bilstein RHA 5100 and some Icon stuff. The question I have is, can I install Ride Height Adjustable shocks with the ReadyLift kit installed. Logic tells me yes, seeing as the crappy Rancho's are nothing special, and all I'm trying to do is get an extra inch added to the front so everything is level. Does this sound correct? If so, which Bilstein or Icon would you recommend, that would work on the AT4 with ReadyLift? Any other options? Not trying to break the bank, so trying to stick to sub $200 shocks for each corner of truck.
Thanks in advance.

If you want a leveled truck, you didn’t need to install the rear 1” lift. I would just put the rear back to stock, most everyone just raises the front unless they plan on trailering a lot and therefore keep a bit of rake to eliminate squat.

Bilstein 5100 is very popular to replace the Ranchos and will help with the body roll and if that doesn’t do as much as you’d like, you could add some wheel spacers (at least 1.5” to clear lugs) to make the stance wider and will help even more with cornering.

Bilstein 5100 RHA works with the ReadyLift 3920 SST leveling kit. Called ReadyLift and they actually recommended the Bilstein shocks. Front were adjusted to the middle ring and now the truck sits almost completely level. Ride is noticeably better.

Sorry for the late reply but getting ready to do this.........did you eliminate a spacer when you changed the shock setting? Seems like changing a shock setting should eliminate one of the spacers on the kit.

My installer called Ready Lift and asked would if their SST work with the adjustable bilsteins and was told yes. So he installed the Bilsteins RAH on the front and set the shocks at the medium option. Nothing was removed other than the stock Rancho's. Everything works perfectly good together. Ride os noticeably better. And at the medium setting with the SST kit, the truck sits almost completely level.

Awesome, thank you! Thinking about starting with just the new shocks (1.5" setting up front, 0" or 0.75" setting in rear), and maybe some UCAs if I don't like the resulting angles.

I'm looking to do something similar here just want to make sure I'm understanding you correctly. You left the preload and top spacer and set the 5100's to the middle circlip setting?

The tech installed the complete Ready Lift SST kit, everything that came with it. I went back a couple of weeks later and had the 5100's installed, which were set on the middle clip.
