ReadyLIFT 2 Inch Front Leveling Kit with Upper Control Arms - 2006-2018 Ram 1500 (66-1036)

This ReadyLIFT leveling kit raises the front of the 2006-2018 Ram 1500 by 2 inches, using CNC-machined billet aluminum strut extensions and tubular upper control arms with corrected ball joint angles and new heavy-duty ball joints. The control arms address the factory ball joint separating from the stock arm when a 4WD Ram is leveled. ReadyLIFT claims it allows up to 35 inch tires, and hardware is included.

Key features

• Tubular upper control arms (ReadyLIFT's own design) with corrected ball joint angles and new heavy-duty ball joints
• CNC-machined aircraft-grade 6061 T-6 billet aluminum strut extensions
• Smart Strut Technology that mounts on top of the strut, instead of a urethane spacer that compresses the spring
• Modest lift height that avoids overextending the suspension and drivetrain

What's included

• Tubular control arms (2) with corrected ball joint angles
• New heavy-duty ball joints
• CNC-machined billet aluminum strut extensions (2)
• Hardware

Fitment and compatibility

• Fits 2006-2018 Ram 1500
• ReadyLIFT lists the page for 4WD trucks only
• Not for trucks with factory air suspension
• 2 inch is the right amount to level a 2009-2010 truck; more lift causes a nose-high stance. 2006-2008 and 2011-2018 4WD trucks show roughly a 1/2 inch rake after installation
• Optional companion: 66-1031 1.5 inch rear coil spacer (not required)
• Tire fit: 35x11.50 on a 9 inch wide wheel. Recommendations are based on Wheel Pros wheels and Nitto tires, so test fit any combination before installing

Installation

Allow about 4.3 hours, plus or minus 0.5, not counting alignment or wheel and tire assembly. ReadyLIFT recommends a certified mechanic. You may need an alignment, headlamps must be re-aimed, and driver-assist systems may need checking or recalibration with dealer tools.

Modifying your suspension can change handling and increase rollover risk. Always wear your seat belt. ReadyLIFT's page carries a California Proposition 65 notice naming DEHP.
