how is the fitment on those 275s? any rubbing?
No rubbing at all.... I did the full-lock forward and reverse both left & right. I’ve been off-road but no rock-crawling or anything too crazy. I have a set of BORA 1” spacers I’m going to install when I get a chance. I wanted a bit more “aggressive” looking stance and maybe the spacers will provide a bit more room if needed?

I just installed a Rough Country 2.5" level kit from @PandaMotorworks along with 265/75R/17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers and there's NO rubbing or cutting. Very quiet street tire and aggressive for off roading. Took the advice from others on here who have this same set up and could not be happier. Unless you're going to be towing or hauling heavy loads I see no reason to go with the 3" level or LT tires. :)

You got me excited for a second. I thougt Nitto actually made a 265/75/17 Ridge Grappler until I zoomed in on your tire size.

Sorry, I thought I corrected that but will do it now. I was looking at several different tires at the time and most had the 75's except the Nittos. If you don't want to remove or replace the crash bars the 70's are the way to go. I've have them on now for around 5000 miles and never had an issue with rubbing.

So i had my 2.5" BDS leveling kit installed yesterday. I have noticed some clangs/ vibrations coming from the front end, especially when there is a dip in the road. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions on what it could be? Should i be worried?

There should be no clanking. I would slide under and make sure the sway bay is tight and the bolts holding the strut in place. Lift the truck and mess with the suspension to see ifyou can identify where it is coming from.

Thanks. Was going to jack up the truck to put new wheels on over the weekend. I will poke around and see what i can find. Didn't know if everything needed to "settle in" or not. It's my first lift/leveling kit

When I put my level on (different one but shouldn't matter) I had a hard time getting my sway bar tight which started to squeak. My guess is something is loose. Good luck.

I had my mechanic friend ride around with me to try to diagnose the problem.
He believes the vibrations are coming from the drive line. Said something might be a little bit off since i raised the front end 2.5". He also told me that it shouldn't cause wear to major components. Has anyone else have this happen to them? Any insight from some more mechanically intelligent people than myself?

2016 Focus ST maybe Ranger in a couple days.
Yes super easy just a couple bolts
They look great. I usually scrapped those on approach of an obstacle. Did you have to to clear the tires or just for precautions and the good looks?
