what you think guys if i install 2" lift kits on this baby? , then using this stock tires? will it look nicer?

is that front and back lifted to 2.5"?

Slow it down there a bit Jerome. That 2-1/2” front levelling kit from Rough Country is for non-Tremor Rangers.

Your Tremor already has a slight front level because of your Fox suspension. If you add a 2” or larger level, you could be pushing your truck beyond the safe 3” total lift threshold, which could require upgraded upper control arms and maybe even a front differential drop kit.

So, before you get too excited about lifting your Tremor, check what other Tremor owners have done without having to do further work on their trucks.

There’s a 1” level kit for Tremors and it allows you to eliminate the nose down appearance of this truck without having to worry about UCAs and a diff drop.

There are limits to what you can do without having to make further changes and that goes for aftermarket wheels and tires too.

I’m not sure what you mean but the front end of a stock Ranger sits low compared to the back end, causing it to look like it slopes forward. A level kit or levelling shocks raises only the front end, eliminating the slope so the truck sits level.

If you lift both the front and back, there are limits as to how high you can go without having to change out a bunch of other expensive suspension components. If you lift it now, it might not look too bad because of the tires that come with the Tremor but it will still show a lot of wheel well and look a bit odd.

When you go to add new wheels and tires, there are other considerations because of the anti-intrusion beams and crush blocks on the Ranger. A lot of mistakes can be made and your local tire and wheel shop won’t necessarily know what to avoid.

There are plenty of threads in the Suspension forums as well as in the Tire and Wheel forums that can give you the details.

Is this your first truck?

Yes, do a search on Tremor level kit and you’ll likely find a few threads on it.

There are videos out there if you search for them but I don’t have one I could recommend.

WARNING: Installing a level kit is not as simple as it might seem. This job requires some specific tools and shop equipment as well as certain skills and knowledge. There are some real problems with costly consequences to avoid and the online videos don’t cover them all or explain how to mitigate them.

is that front and back lifted to 2.5"?

No, just the front is lifted to just about level with the stock height rear, that is 1/2" higher than the front.

Good points. If I get a kit I would probably get it from Stage 3 Motor Sports. I was also thinking of just doing the 1" on my Tremor... I would also install myself. It's pretty easy.

I struggled with what to put on my 2023 Tremor and ended up with using the ReadyLift 2” leveling kit and their anti-intrusion beams.

We followed the instructions and only put in the top spacer, but another member said he put in top and bottom. I asked him to post a few additional pictures, but no luck yet.

Truck still isn’t level, but between the additional space provided by the lift, the new intrusion beams and the additional offset provided by the new wheels, I was able to get full clearance for 285/70/17 tires, so mission accomplished.

Good luck!
