2017-2020 F250 & F350 4WD Ready Lift 2.5" Front Leveling Kit - www.stage3motor...
There are a lot of good reasons for wanting to level your truck in the front. Maybe you want to slap on some big off-road wheels, or maybe you just can't stand the "nosedive" look with the factory front-end rake. Either way, ReadyLIFT's 2.5" Front Leveling Kit is your tried-and-true alternative to a full-on suspension lift. If you don't mind your OEM ride and simply want to level things out, why spend an arm and a leg for a full lift when you can get the same look from this high-quality spacer kit from ReadyLIFT? This complete leveling kit installs easily and is 100% guaranteed to maintain OEM ride, making this a no-brainer for accommodating bigger tires or leveling out rake.

Installed this kit with the track bar relocation bracket, new rancho Shocks instead of the extensions. My steering wheel was turned 90deg to the right after the kit was on. I ended up with an alignment and added 2 deg caster shims. Without the alignment and shims the steering was light and had a lot of bump steer. Final piece is to add PMF dual steering stabilizer.

[@swss12]

its amazing that the shocks are the only thing really holding the front axle "up"

[@YourMom-ro1ig]

The track bar is also aiding in that a little bit.

[@joaquinsolis7071]

What about the radius arm?

[@danstennis1817]

What about the track bar?

[@ReelisticMediaProductions]

Bump steer isn't an issue? I've heard you should relocate the track bar but if you do then you also need to relocate the pitman arm. This kit didn't even do anything with the track bar, which would shift the axle off to the driver side ~3/4 of an inch correct?

[@jefflancaster9221]

Just put on the 2.5 nds leveling kit on my 2020 f350 and I would not have if I knew it would ride so crappy compared to stock sure looks good on 35s but hate the ride

[@BrynhurstSixOwe]

Sheesh... those stock shocks are giving me anxiety! 😬 I'd have changed them while under there. 💯

just curious, are you still able to haul full weight with the new wheels?

That is such a great looking truck!

[@Painfulwhale360]

Wow! Back hear 7 years later and I have a 2017 F250 :)

[@joereyna614]

Installed mine w no issue.. spacer however didn't have the readylift decal as this one shows.. kinda wish they added some type of decals in the package.. factory ride stayed the same.

[@FortitudeJc]

How long did it take u to install? I just ordered for my F350 2023 that was jus delivered

[@joereyna614]

@@FortitudeJc Took me about 1.5 hrs or so. Given you have the tools and all.

[@Lordporter1]

Does this work with my 2021 F250 Tremor package?

[@DannyParkerDirty]

Is the track bar even nessary. I did it because it came with the kit but not sure

[@erichlantschner8385]

Which lift kit must install for the 37 tires on the f 350 2017

[@adams5xr847]

caster and bump steer isn't an issue? Other manufacturers recommend alignment cams.

[@mikhailkimbel91]

I had to add radius arm drop brackets as well as caster shims

[@cobrachris898]

What size rims and tires and off-set. Is there any rubbing?

[@stage3motorsports]

No rubbing at all, this is a great setup! Check out all the details of this builds wheels& tires in this link. www.stage3motorsports.com/stage-3s-2017-f250-6-7l-builds-leveling-wheels-and-tires.html

[@leeman20s98]

The shock drop bracket is a horrible design. What is preventing it from moving back away from the spring other than bolt tension?

[@erichlantschner8385]

Which lift kit must install for the 37 tires on my f 350 2017 ?

[@mikem.7167]

How much can I expect to pay for the installation of the 66-2726 ready lift kit on my 2018 F350 SD 4WD? Thanks!

[@stage3motorsports]

Installation prices vary depending on your current setup and your location.

[@Ram-re5em]

The wrong way to do it but is cheap!. New springs and shocks to start.

[@jeffabbott403]

That looks badass!

Would you guys mind doing a video on how to replace the speakers in a 2016 F150. I saw mention of it on your website but can not locate it. Thanks!! Good looking truck!!

Do you have or can you do a video installing a "2019 F350 Westin Ultimate LED Bull Bar (Chrome)"? Thanks!

Awesome video

[@austinlittle2385]

Wondering about the track bar myself

[@YourMom-ro1ig]

I'm with you. Needs a track bar drop bracket or it's going to wear the track bar bushing and track bar ball joint prematurely.

[@calgonzo7]

Was a track bar relocation bracket installed?

[@stage3motorsports]

There is a drop down menu on the product page of our site if you would like to purchase one, but we did not install one. www.stage3motorsports.com/RL-66-2725-2017-F250-F350-Ready-Lift-2.5-Front-Leveling-Kit.html

[@voodoovinyl434]

what about the track bar bracket?

[@stage3motorsports]

The track bar bracket is a drop down option on this leveling kit on our site. Check out our install here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5e4hn6DiqeUr80

[@blakelykerrigan6312]

Bought this kit last year along with the trac bar drop. Truck it’s still sits lower in the front by about 1/2”-1”. I realize these trucks all sit slightly different from the factory, but I’m curious if an additional 1/4” spacer can be purchased like the one that comes in the kit for a slight height adjustment?

[@stage3motorsports]

Hey Blake give us a call about that spacer! 623-434-5277

[@ingith123]

This truck has only about 2”of up travel and you never address that?

[@shylildude]

Is there a 2wd version?

[@north50]

Truck looks great. What is the roof height after the level and 35's?

[@DannyParkerDirty]

Hey buddy I seen no one replied. I have 35 on this leveling kit with track bar relocator and was in a parking deck over the weekend and the 7 food hangers were laying on the roof window. Hope this helps you in time

[@DinkGear]

Curious... I had dealer install Readylift 2.5 leveling kit on 2018 F250. It shifted front axle almost a inch towards the driver side. Tire on drivers side is noticeably out further. WIll adjustable trac bar fix this issue?

[@stage3motorsports]

Yes, the trac bar relocation bracket will help remedy that issue. Or another option is to get a fully adjustable track bar. That might be the better option if you plan to lift the truck taller in the future

[@DinkGear]

Thank you. I don't plan to lift the vehicle in the future so this hopefully will correct it.

[@taylormcswain7159]

is this process the same with the 3.5 lift? havent seen a video for the '17-'19 super dutys for the 3.5 sst lift

[@gregorysaad1786]

Alignment necessary afterward?

[@bitchimightbe3773]

Always

[@coldalaskan007]

Stage 3, What rims and tires are you using at the 4.25 mark of this video. And this kit did it come with the track bar relocate? Thanks

[@stage3motorsports]

Wheels - 20x10" Fuel Maverick Wheels (-12mm Offset) Tires - 35x12.50R20LT Toyo Open Country M/T Tires This ReadyLift 2.5" front leveling kit does not come with a track bar relocation bracket.

[@coldalaskan007]

How come you didn't use the track bar relocate? Thanks

[@michaelcusumano8054]

Stage 3 Motorsports if you dont get the track bar relocation bracket the axel is uneven and looks dumb it shift more to one side. You should probably tell people that before advertising that this is a complete kit!

[@DannyParkerDirty]

WHEN you install this kit with the track bar relocator does it supposed to throw the steering wheel off. I did mine by the hood and the wheel is 3 degrees off by the console of the truck.

[@mikhailkimbel91]

Just did mine yesterday with the track bar relocation and the steering wheel is turned to the right when driving dead straight. Not sure what the bracket even did but I had to jack one side of the truck waaaay up just to get it reconnected

[@DannyParkerDirty]

@@mikhailkimbel91 Yes I had to do the same.. If you have a 2018 one with the cameras around it. .. Only FORD can do it.. They haven't released the computer downloads to anyone else.. To reprogram the computer back so it knows the change because of the steering assist and lane departure

[@mikhailkimbel91]

I turned the adjustment on the drag link this afternoon a few revolutions and it got it back dead straight. Axle is still shifted slightly to the right tho not noticeable but I'd say a quarter to 3/8 of an inch.

[@DannyParkerDirty]

@@mikhailkimbel91 Yeah I'm not really sure the damn thing was nessary.. I drove mine without it for a day before I put it in and the steering wheel was not as bad off.. So I think it is really a sales pitch but it's on there now.. Mine has all those damn cameras and I had to take mine to the dealer. The dealer I got mine from gave me a lifetime powertrain warranty as long as I own it and keep the maintenance up. So I guess I was worth it

[@mikhailkimbel91]

I hope it all works out for ya brother!

[@kellysunseri-adams8550]

I've read quite a bit of testimonials about leveling kits messing up your suspension... any insight on this? I think this looks awesome, just worried about possibly screwing up my truck...

[@stage3motorsports]

A leveling kit like this is usually not enough to completely throw off your suspension. Plus, this kit comes with sway bar drop brackets, brake line drop brackets, and shock mount extensions so that your new ride height does not stress any components meant for the factory ride height

[@kellysunseri-adams8550]

Thank you! Definitely considering picking up a kit for my new super duty then...

[@pedrothemexican3360]

This kit is not complete. You really need this extra piece to center the front axle.... www.stage3motorsports.com/BDS-123301-2017-F250-F350-BDS-1-3-in-Track-Bar-Bracket.html

[@stage3motorsports]

The track bar relocation is an option on this kit. You can see it on our listing in the drop down menu. ReadyLift added that option after we installed ours

[@pedrothemexican3360]

Why is it an option? Are there democrats out there that want to drive around with their left tire sticking out farther than the right tire? Either include a drop trackbar mount or an adjustable trackbar with this kit.....right?

[@321donnie]

I don't recommend anyone buy this kit unless you have the relocation kit.

[@jazeppi79]

nice, what size tires and rims? You said 35" but width etc? Thanks

Thanks, how about the rims? 20x9 or 20x10?

[@jazeppi79]

also is it completely leveled with the 2.5" kit? same distance between tire and wheel well front and back? It looks slightly higher in the rear still? Thank you for your help.

[@rumblebee25544552]

Stage 3 Motorsports the tires don't rub on the inside anymore with the -12 offset?

[@PRESA25]

Do the 35s fit if you did not do the level? Or would they rub?

[@MrJoeball225]

PRESA25 rub

[@Quientin04]

I got 35's on my 2016 F250 with no leveling kit and they fit just fine

[@PRESA25]

Yes I did the same thing. I put nitto 35s X 12.5 on a 20 inch wheel no rubbing at all. And did nothing as far as lift or leveling.

[@DannyParkerDirty]

I have a 2018 f250p and 20x10-19 with 35x12.50 and they rub at full lock. If you get the body in a bind it will rub like hell enough to tear something up. Or it would on mine. Not worth the risk. Mine is off-road a lot for my job

Looks expensive if you don’t have the right tools or knowledge

[@IPGAuto]

Looks like flimsy metal.. not sure how well that'll hold up.

[@deeznughtz4122]

theres a reason the factory sends them out with that nosedive look.

[@longviewfarm226]

deez nughtz what’s the reason.

[@punisherranger9122]

So the truck won’t squat when you put a heavy load on the bed. Designed to level out instead of squat. I leveled mine and then got airbags for the rear.

[@andrewfernandez7652]

Would have been a great video without the stupid music playing.

[@calgonzo7]

Was a track bar relocation bracket installed?

[@michaelcusumano8054]

To put it simple if you dont have this bracket on the 2017 superduty the axel is not even on both sides. So if you look at the truck with the wheels straight you can tell that one side sticks out further than the other side. Trust me had a leveling kit put on my 2017 and they failed to mention it now they want to charge me another $500 bucks to install an adjustable track bar.

[@poseidon7177]

Do you need a alignment when you put the leveling kit on?

[@stage3motorsports]

You shouldn't need an alignment but it's always a good call.
