If you have it, don't you have onboard scales and smarthitch too?
These are things you can spot with your eyes, as well as the Sync screen.

Hard to miss those 4 LED bars in the taillights.

Did you get the scales figured out? Any other issues? I have a limited with the ccd and am wanting the 2 in level you got or the 3.5 sst from ReadyLift. ReadyLift is telling my shop the 3.5 will work but not the 2 in level.
Took to the dealer this morning and all they had to do was a quick reset of the sensors and all is good now. It was hard to tell but the ride might have softened out a bit now that the sensors are reading again. CCD and onboard scales are fully functional.

FYI readylift has flipped flopped continuously on compatibility with the 2” level. It all depends on who you talk to any given day. The QA does explicitly state that the 2” is compatible despite the description. The sensors are not relocated at all and maintain their position on the strut assembly. It’s just a puck above it.

I hope being the Guinea pig helps y’all. Overall I’m pleased with the whole setup. Just check your scales after the level to make sure everything is functional. If not, it’s a quick fix at the dealer.

Thanks Will. Much appreciated. I’m supposed to take it in Wednesday to try fitting the 3.5 sst lift but am going to have them install the level instead as that is what I’d prefer. Frustrating about all the conflicting fitment info

The readylift 3.5 sst lift did not work on my limited powerboost with ccd fyi. It made the truck go haywire with codes and steering issues making it undriveable. Readylift was no help as they told my shop that they haven’t tested it on ccd suspension. Trying the 2 inch readylift now at the shop.

Wowwwwww good to know! You should be fine with the 2” level. Sensors shouldn’t be touched.

Do you think it has to do with trying the SST kit first? All my shop said they had to do differently was rotate the strut to keep the sensors on the inside. Other than that it was the same as a non ccd install. I’ll try and post some pics later on. I’m actually going back to the shop today for a retorque and can ask for more info you need it?

I’m not sure. It’s still at the shop. Any more info would be greatly appreciated, thank you. Which shop did you use if you don’t mind me asking? These guys have been talking to a network of installers trying to figure it out

Allout Offroad in Tomball, TX. They are certified readylift shop and talked to readylift prior to the install.
