Find the Suspension Parts you Need
Air vs coil is the #1 DT mistake. ReadyLIFT 69-1935 / 66-1920 / 66-1921 and Daystar KC09139BK are non-air. Rough Country 31012 and ReadyLIFT 66-19150 target factory air. Confirm suspension type on the door sticker / build sheet before you click.
Leveling vs true lift: front spacer / loaded strut kits fix rake only. ReadyLIFT SST 69-1935 and Daystar KC09139BK add rear lift for a more even mild stance. Creators inventory for a Rough Country 3.5″ complete DT kit (31430 family) was thin on Amazon today — if you need that configurable RC path, check Rough Country directly or the taller-kit page below.

Works Kit options
order it all once, do it right — pick one path. Do not stack spacers on loaded struts.
A) ReadyLIFT SST mild lift (non-air)
- ReadyLIFT 69-1935 ($799.00) — ~3.5″ front / ~2″ rear SST with UCAs; listing emphasizes 2019 non-air 2WD/4WD — verify 2020–2024 on the live page
- Not for factory air, Rebel off-road package, or pre-lifted trucks per ReadyLIFT notes
- Alignment after install (required)
B) Daystar 2.5″ F+R (early DT / non-air)
- Daystar KC09139BK ($119.00) — ComfortRide poly front + rear; titled for 2017–2019 non-air 2/4WD — 2020+ owners should confirm or prefer ReadyLIFT / RC DT kits
C) Coil leveling path (not a rear lift)
- ReadyLIFT 66-1920 ($184.99) spacer or 66-1921 ($463.95) with tubular UCAs — non-air
- Loaded strut alternate: 501061 ($349.95) · adjustable 502061 ($549.95)
D) Air-ride path
- Rough Country 31012 ($29.95) 2″ air-ride spacer
- Or ReadyLIFT 66-19150 ($469.99) 1.5″ with UCAs for factory air
E) Struts sized for ~3.5″ (components)
If you already have (or are building) a 3.5″ DT lift, RC sells loaded struts sized for that height:

Shop notes
- DT air vs coil forks every SKU — wrong kit = returns and wasted weekend.
- Classic owners: use the 2009–2018 / Classic hub, not this DT page.
- Always align after spacers, SST, or loaded struts.
- 2–3.5″ stays in daily / mild-trail range; 5″+ is a different adventure (see the quiet 5″ link above).
- ReadyLIFT 66-1920 / 66-1921 Amazon features often emphasize 2019–2020 — verify later years on the listing.
