I recently bought a 2020 and attend mall crawlers anonymous classes. My old habits push me to desire 37x12.5 on 20x10 -18 offset wheels. Use case is more or less pavement princess, getting to work and back and visiting construction sites.

I like the idea of a bit stiffer ride the Eibach offers (less nose dive on etc). Does anyone ever install Eibach springs with a perch collar (1.5") to get that 2.5-3" in the front? Or is the ReadyLift just the way to go there? I don't want to go the Fabtech route, nor trim the cab incredibly. (Flame suit equipped and appreciate the feedback)

If you do go that high you'll have pretty steep cv angles. And the only way around that would be a drop bracket lift to relax the cv angles. Personally I'd never cut the cross member/sub frame on my truck.

If you go with the Readylift you'll gave the same CV issues but you'll have even more problems from the top spacer lift.

DO NOT do Eibach springs with a perch collar its one or the other and springs would be the better way to go. I have those on my 19.

That readylift kit is JUNK. If you have a pavement princess as you say there is no reason to have the added weight of a 37 to drive on the road. I would stick with 35s do the Eibach up front and some deavers in the back and dump the factory spacer in rear.

I wouldn’t do both. I would recommend springs. And you’ll catch a lot of sh*t for 37’s and they say you have to spend $30,000 to make it jump but like you said it’s a pavement princess so I wouldn’t worry about it. Do 37’s and just don’t jump it and you’ll be fine

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll start with the springs, and a taller block and see where that puts me.

Don’t do taller blocks and 37s. That is a recipe for additional axle wrap even if you just drive it on the road. Wait until you have enough money for Deaver +3s or one of the other leaf spring options that removes the rear block.

honestly, for your use, just get the fabtech, it is the only thing that will really do what you are asking, other than fenders.

I keep thinking that yeah. Might just be easiest. It also wouldn't make any cuts so I can go back to jump mode if desired later on.

Rpg makes an adjustable cooler 2-4.5 inches I believe, that’s what I did, and then I went with Deavers +3 to raise the back an inch, so I went 2 3/4 on the front, if you want higher you can get deaver +4 and adjust the collar higher
