2.5 spacer in rear with shock extenders?

[riggz]

So I installed a ReadyLift 2.25/1.5 last week and it sits exactly level unloaded if not a bit of Cali lean. I adjusted the auto ride sensor but it didnt help. If I load up my tools and equipment it sags a good bit. I'd like to do a 2.5" spacer in the rear with some shock extenders like this listing on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/141349169010

Has anyone done this or know of any issues?

Sometimes the rear sits a tiny bit lower but I think it all has to do with the correct autoride settings. Let's start with fixing the ride height rods first before ordering bigger coils and links. Can you post some pics of the ride height rods with switch position and shock extenders?

When I did my lift it sagged some until the rods were set right now it performs just like stock with my trailer hooked up it pumps up to level.

Can you tell me more about adjusting the autoride settings? I'd like to lift mine up a tiny bit

@louisianadenali you can adjust the rear setting if you buy some all thread and remove the ball caps installing them on the cut to length all thread or can buy FTS rod spacers.

The best way to setup the autoride is to measure all four corners on each of the ride height rods take pictures of the switch position. Measure from a known fixed point so the refernce line won't change like the fender liner above the switch. This was you will know the distance each switch is supposed to be set. Now once the vehicle is leveled or lifted with shock extenders, measure from the same reference line to the new switch position. Then calculate the difference and install longer all thread rods or FTS rod spacers. Setting each switch back to stock position. This will clear all ride height error codes and return system to normal operation.
