The ReadyLIFT 2.5" SST Lift Kit lifts the front and rear together, so the vehicle gains clearance without losing its balanced stance. Each component is matched to this platform's factory suspension rather than adapted from a universal part. ReadyLIFT kit 69-1036 is engineered for the 2009-2018 Dodge 1500 and Ram 1500.
What's Included:
| Kit components (ReadyLIFT) |
|---|
| Two tubular control arms with heavy duty ball joints and corrected ball joint cup angles |
| Two heavy duty steel strut extensions |
| Two steel coil spring rear spacers |
| Two bump stop extensions |
Wheels, tires, alignment, headlamp aiming and ADAS recalibration are not included.
Features
Lift at both ends
SST kits raise the front and the rear, unlike a leveling kit that only lifts the nose. The result is added clearance with a stance that still looks planned.
Room for larger tires
The added height opens the wheel wells for a bigger tire package. ReadyLIFT lists a tested tire size for every application.
Engineered per platform
ReadyLIFT designs each SST kit around one vehicle's suspension layout, so brackets, spacers and arms fit that platform rather than a universal pattern.
Keeps a usable rake
Most SST kits leave a slight rear rake so the vehicle sits right when it carries weight or pulls a trailer.
Built to keep factory manners
ReadyLIFT's stated aim for its mild lifts is added clearance without giving up the ride and handling the vehicle had from the factory.
Complete kit per application
Each kit ships with the lift components ReadyLIFT specifies for that vehicle, listed in the kit contents on every product page.

Installation
Type: front and rear mild lift · Install: per-vehicle, see each kit's install sheet · Afterward: alignment, headlamp aim, ADAS check
This kit installs using the steps in ReadyLIFT's instructions for this vehicle. Plan on a wheel alignment after installation and have headlamp aim checked. Vehicles with camera, radar or sonar driver-assistance systems need those systems checked and recalibrated, which can require dealer tools. ReadyLIFT recommends installation by a certified mechanic and says to read the full instructions before starting. Tire sizes are ReadyLIFT guidance based on specific wheel and tire brands, so test fit every combination. Larger E-rated tires have stiffer sidewalls than stock C-rated tires and can make the ride feel firmer.
ReadyLIFT estimates about 6.5 hours for this kit, give or take 1 hour, not counting the alignment or mounting wheels and tires.

About ReadyLIFT
ReadyLIFT Suspension started in 2006 with one goal: give vehicle and SUV owners more tire clearance and a better stance while keeping the ride and handling their vehicle had from the factory.
What began as a practical option to traditional big lifts now spans front leveling kits, SST mild lifts, full big lift systems, premium coilover packages, upper control arms and Falcon shocks for popular vehicles and SUVs.
Wheel Pros bought ReadyLIFT in 2018, and in August 2026 the brand joined Bestop Premium Accessories Group, which plans continued investment in engineering, product development, manufacturing and customer support.
