2019 Ranger XLT Sport
Finally got my wheel and tire experiment done! I am very happy with how the setup turned out. The wheels are 2014 F150 FX4 20" Wheels painted Magnetic Gray to match. I am running 1" thick BORA adapters to make them fit. The tires are 265/50R20 BFG Advantage T/A Sport LT. So far everything has ran well except for a bit of rubbing on the front crash bar at full lock. I may try aftermarket crash bars.
I have decided that I will do an inch lower in the front when Belltech releases their UCA. That project will have to wait until spring. Hoping the extra drop will fix the rubbing at the front.
Just ordered a LUND Elite roll-up tonneau cover and bed mat. Planning to tint the windows soon.

What did you do for your exhaust after lowering? Just cut off the tip or one of the dump exhausts?

You can see his exhaust in the 2nd pic, yes, it looks like he just removed the tip and put a dump pipe there :)

I cut the tip off right after the resonator. Planning to get a cat-back at some point. I will go with something short that dumps out in front of the rear wheel.

That is one fast beauty Doc! If I could have another Ranger, this would be it?

Looks like the Belltech full 3"-6" kit is now available!!
I see this :eek: I ordered the rear kit and was going to order the front kit from Control Freak, but the new Belltech front drop isn't nearly as expensive as I was thinking it was going to be! I wish they had some pics of the control arms though... I was about to pull the trigger on the CF stuff...

I already wrote them an email.

I ordered their rear 4"-6" kit with shocks, about 3-4 weeks ago, that was about $519. When I add their adjustable coilovers and control arms, that price goes up to $982! So, that's a total of $1501???

They complete 3"/6" drop is $1049 for all the same components? I'm going to have to email them as well... If that's the case, I need to cancel my rear drop and order the new kit all together?

I wonder how long it'll be before it actually ships out?

The $1049 kit is likely not full adjustable coilovers with the Belltech Springs. It is likely just the adjustable Belltech strut that reuses the stock coil spring.
I am very interested in seeing the adjustable UCA. I would like to drop my truck another inch in front and the Belltech UCA is really affordable.
Please share info and pictures if anyone gets them.

Oh, I didn't know they had 2 different front strut setups? They're description kinda sucks... I still cannot believe that they've been working on this thing for a year +/- and they didn't post any pics of the control arm?

Anyway, I'm going to email them and see what's up with the front struts? If someone finds out before I do, please share :)

EDIT: I see that you are correct, Justin :D I looked on their site and noticed the 2 different ones. Now, I wonder which one would be better with the new kit?
