Hey y’all new here got my ranger a few months ago has about 15,000 miles on it. Already installed a bunch of stuff and probably too hastily bought some nitto 275/65/18 for my truck after putting on the fox 2.0 suspension… anyways after living with the fox for a week I kinda want to go a lil taller maybe go 3” in the front and some new leaf springs in the back to keep it leveled… long story short are my new tires gonna look puny as hell if I do that or will they be okay?
EDIT: my bad in the title I meant 275?

Do you possibly mean a 275/65/r18? A 375/65/r18 is a 36-37 inch tire which as far as I’m aware cannot be run on a ranger without extensive modifications to the fender and bumper area.

Sure, I’ll play…those are WAY too small - you totally need 40s brah.

Did you go with the Fox 2.0 leveling kit? Can't those be cranked to 3"?

Pretty sure the front can the back will need a block or something to pick it up the extra 1” or so.. at least from what I understand

definitely will look into it! But love your truck btw
Thanks, you should be able to raise those Fox coil overs to 3” - with the right tools - throw a spacer on the rear and those 275s will look fine. I’m at 2” and no changes to the back. I could easily go higher. I’ve seen 265s on 3” lifts that look great.

with and without flares…
