I didn't actually measure the heights before. Sorry.
I do know that out of the box, the kit wasn't even close to being "pre-adjusted from the factory to level your truck." Left/right was off by more than 1/2" and the front was almost 3/4" taller than the rear.

Guys, I been looking different threads on the forum so far you guys seems the ones who know better about level, lifting and tires. This is my first truck, I have a Ford Ranger XLT 2WD sport version, after almost a year I pulled the trigger and I’m ready to put nice tires on it.
However I’m not sure which kit I should use, I’m debating between Pro Comp 2.25” level kit with the modified crash bars or the 3” ready lift kit, also I’ll get the 16 mm offset for the wheels. I’m trying to avoid cutting the crash, what is your recommendation? Should I go straight with the 3” or the pro comp should work? Btw my tires are 285/70/17
Thanks in advance! You all have an amazing trucks look so bad ass ??

you might have to get an offset wheels. The 265/70/17 only have about 11mm clearance to the steering knuckle. Also the Ford/Fox kit is awesome and should give enough clearance

Installed the Rough Country 2.5" leveling kit a few weeks back. Here's the new stance on the factory wheels and tires. I'm going to keep it this way for now, at least until I wear through these tires. When it's time for new rubber, I may decide to go up a size. I like the factory wheels though, so those are likely to stay as long as I own the truck.

Here's mine. Love what it's done for the look of it, and am WAY pleased at what it did for the ride. Fox 2" kit did the trick.

This is my 2019 STX 4x4, I purchased the OME kit from stage 3 motor sports. It’s a 2.5 in kit, it gives you new struts and springs for the front. I also added nitro charger shocks in the back, I didn’t do the complete kit with rear leafs. Tires are 265/70r17 Bfg All Terrains
So far I like it, rides better than stock and braking is better.
Just a note if you buy then front only kit you will reuse your stock upper strut cups and rubber, you get a new nut for the top of the strut and bolts/nuts for the bottom. Also you will need to resuse your bottom plastic spring cup. We trimmed the tabs off and it was fine.
The kit is advertised as fully adjustable, it isn’t.
I wouldn’t mind if it settled down just a little.
I was blown away when that box showed up at my door so fast, great service from stage 3.

Ford leveling kit and 275/65r18 federal couragia tires with 1” wheel spacers. I’m not a fan of spacers but had to have them to clear in the front. Tires didn’t balance very well but otherwise love them. Do well off road also. Removed my front crash bars and moved the rear ones back as far as possible. No rubbing on or off road. Definite decrease in fuel economy. Not that that was a concern but some may care. Tires are E rated 10 ply so are about 70 lbs a piece.
