2015-2020 Ford F150 4WD ReadyLift 7 inch Suspension Lift Kit with Shocks | 44-2575-K

Install time was about 12hrs definitely have it professionally installed.. looks great doesnt change the ride enough to know it. But definitely sitting higher

While the end result seems okay let me give some background on why I am giving this kit 3 stars. We installed the kit with a lift (I wouldn’t suggest doing it on jack stands unless you don’t need your truck for a few days at minimum). I read the instructions before purchasing, which lead me to this kit as it looked straight forward and of high quality. Needless to say the instructions are not great. You can “figure it out” but you shouldn’t have to in my opinion, the instructions should tell you so you don’t have to waste time guessing which bolts should be used and when for example. Also something to beware of ( this is no fault to readylift) if you watch YouTube videos of this kit being installed, be careful! Only use them to see better Quality pictures. Not step by step. Biggest gripe -The strut spacers are designed to sit on top of your current strut and be bolted in using the pressed in studs in the new spacer up through your stock strut tower. Using a 3/8” ratchet by hand and the appropriate nuts, every single one of them (6 in total) completely stripped out of the strut spacer before even being able to be torqued down (see attached pictures). This cost us 3-4 hours of labor and headaches which were completely unnecessary and made us question the integrity of the overall kit. If these strip out it is nearly impossible to get a pair of vice grips on the back bolts of the strut spacer to get them to stop spinning and back the nuts off from above. We had to find an extremely flat metal cutting blade and cut them out from the top of the strut tower in the engine bay. We ended up having to drill/tap each hole by hand and install hardened 10.9 12mm bolts to be used as studs with a lock washer on top. I wouldn’t ever trust them Off or on road with my child in the car after seeing how easy they rip out by hand. One more thing of notice, currently the front of the truck is sitting about 1.5 inches higher to the rear giving it a bit of a rake which seems odd. We will see if it settles over time I suppose and report back. Again, I wanted to love this kit and hope I do going forward. Being one of the most expensive kits on the market you expect high quality parts, instructions, and end results. However after all of the install headaches and now the truck sitting uneven, if I could do it over again I would more than likely have gone with a different kit. Hope this helps someone looking to install or purchase this kit to save you some headaches.

If you really take your time this kit can be installed in a weekend. The resulting ride is amazing. This truck feels stronger and more stable.

Love the lift. You guys make ordering easy and reliable. Was able to fit 37x13.50r20 with a -44 offset. Next will be a 3 body lift. Thanks Stage3

I had this lift installed by a shop back in February of 2019 and a couple months later I added an "add a leaf" as well to level it out. I can say after a year later of having this lift on my 2018 I've been very happy with it. Before I added the add a leaf to it it rode really, really smooth, with the add a leaf it's a bit stiffer however this truck still drives really well. I've driven on long road trips and felt comfortable, making U - Turns haven't been an issue either. Driving on windy roads hasn't been an issue either, if your wondering what shocks I'm running, I have the Bilstein shocks in the front and the Fox shocks in the rear. Also, if you want less of a headache and have the money go to a reputable shop to install it for you and save you the insanity and frustration of installing it yourself.

Was installed in Sacramento ca. Drivers as stock and no difference but yes much higher ride quality plus we using 37” tires with 20” rims

Since I’ve owned this lift 90% of the time is makes my truck squeak so bad on turns I’ve had to go to the shop twice now to have it corrected and even then only fixes it for about a week. Not to mention had to buy an extra leaf spring just for the truck to sit level because it had the disgusting “cali lean” do yourself a solid and shop around.
