Product Overview

 

The ReadyLIFT 8.5" Lift Kit w/Falcon 1.1 Shocks is engineered specifically for 2017–2023 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty Diesel 4WD, and 2020-2025 Chevrolet/GMC 2500HD and 3500HD trucks seeking maximum ride height, aggressive styling, improved off-road capability, and premium suspension performance. Designed around ReadyLIFT’s premium big lift architecture, this complete suspension system combines heavy-duty geometry correction components with Falcon 1.1 monotube shocks for improved ride quality and suspension control both on-road and off-road. 

Built around ReadyLIFT’s heavy-duty suspension engineering, the system includes fabricated steel front radius arm drop brackets, heavy-duty front and rear crossmembers, front coil spring spacers, sway bar relocation brackets, bump stop extensions, brake line relocation hardware, and rear lift blocks engineered specifically for heavy duty applications. The system is designed to preserve factory suspension geometry and steering performance while significantly increasing ride height and tire clearance. 

The included Falcon 1.1 Monotube shocks improve ride comfort, damping response, and off-road suspension control compared to factory shocks. These monotube shocks are engineered specifically for lifted truck applications and help maintain stability and control under towing, hauling, highway driving, and off-road conditions. 

The upgraded radius arm version of the system includes heavy-duty tubular steel radius arms engineered to improve suspension articulation, caster correction, and long-term durability. These premium radius arms are designed specifically for high-lift Super Duty applications and provide improved suspension travel and steering feel over factory stamped arms.

The ReadyLIFT 8.5-inch suspension system supports up to 40x13.50-inch tires on compatible wheel setups depending on wheel width, offset, and tire design. ReadyLIFT engineered the system specifically to maintain predictable drivability and steering characteristics despite the substantial increase in ride height. 

Engineered specifically for Ford Super Duty diesel applications, the ReadyLIFT 8.5" Lift Kit delivers maximum ground clearance, premium suspension performance, enhanced off-road capability, and aggressive styling while preserving ride quality and steering performance.

Installation is designed as a complete bolt-on suspension system using application-specific hardware and geometry correction components. Professional installation and alignment are strongly recommended after installation.

Whether you're upgrading for larger tires, towing capability, show truck styling, overlanding, or off-road performance, the ReadyLIFT 8.5" Lift Kit w/Falcon 1.1 Shocks delivers premium suspension enhancement for Ford Super Duty trucks. Now Available at LEER!
