‘19 with 2.5” lift, now rides horrid

[Wfo]

Ready lift is shit! You should have done your homework here before wasting your money!

I learned my lesson messing with my 2015 Lariat, put on coilovers and a block in the back. F'up the geometry and had to replace everything at 80,000 miles, added new upper control arm in between thinking I could improve it. Not- never again. I love pounding around off road and through pot holes with zero concerns and a better ride. Ford engineers know better op and people like me.
Go back to stock and enjoy

Y’all quit cussing the poor boy out. We’ve all ****** up. FWIW this is exactly why mine stays stock.

It's truly a shame what some people do to these trucks.

The stock Ford Raptor looks like it sits on skateboard wheels at 35”. It really needs 40’s, but 37’s will have to do.

I bought the first 6.2L Raptor I could get my hands on in late 2010. I put a Readylift kit on it with 37’s the day I got it. Put 300,000 miles on it - no problems. Rode great.

The ‘19 live valves shocks suck.

I put 300K miles on readylift on my 2011 Raptor - it rode great.

The issue is the live valve shocks - they suck.

What size wheels? Assuming 20's?

17” stock beadlock rims

For what it's worth, I don't think this works. I confirmed with forscan the vdm still thought the truck was floating 2" in the air after trying this a few times. I had the dealership run the calibration procedure on the vdm and it seems to ride a little less stiff and is now zeroed.

I need to do this. Changing to Eibach springs first.

That spacer throws off you upper control arm geometry , so every bump, upward movement changes your toe angle in and out severely . causing a ton of bump steer.

Agree - but I put 300K miles on my 2011 Raptor with same kit and same tires.

Cancel the spacer and do it right! Plus if you offroad these other springs will help you
