Stock FX4 XLT 2020 Ranger Height Wheel Well Height?

[CammeronJ]

Last weekend I installed several suspension components all at the same time.

Eibach Reservoir Shocks in the rear and Eibach Coilovers in the front

In the rear I also did Icon Multi Rate Leafs in Option 2 (1.125" Lift advertised)
https://www.stage3motorsports.com/1...pring-kit.html#mz-expanded-view-1435109103704

I feel the leafs lifted more than advertised as the rear is sitting at ~40" at center of both rear wheel well.
The front driver is sitting at 37.5" and Passenger at 38".

I'm considering putting the front at 39" on both sides so there's still 1" for rake.
However I'm concerned about being able to align. Everything I read is that 2.5" front lift is the sweet spot (with some claiming up to 3 being possible).

Here's the thing though, I was trying to get the work done quick (racing the early morning sun on a hot weekend) and forgot to take measurements beforehand. So now I don't know if 39" will be more than a 2.5" raise.


Does anyone happen to know the stock measurements at the center of wheel wells for a 2020 XLT FX4 ranger running 265/60/18 tires?

I've tried looking it up both on the forum and google but am coming up short.

Not sure on the front measurements I have them, but traveling away from my truck. I have the Icons, started with option 3, because I am running around 600lbs all included. That was way too high went up like 3 inches. Changed to option 2, and went up around 2 then settled to about 1.5. If you have no added weight I would consider going to option 1. Other than that I am really happy with the springs half the price of other options. No squeaks or rattles at all.

It’s all good…because, well, you know…..

SuperCab for the WIN!

For what it’s worth I just did Eibach stage 2 and installed rear shocks first which raised the back 1/2”. I expect it would go back down over time, but point is it might not just be leafs.

I’m at 38” though so you’re still 2” more than mine.

Honestly, the SuperCab has grown on me in the past few months.. my thoughts of why could a tremor package have been available on them… and then it hit me in my sleep… a SuperCab Ranger Raptor (like how the gen 1 Raptor F150 was available and what I wanted back in 2010.. yes in white…maybe blue.) woke up in tears knowing they unfortunately most like will not exist. ?… 6th gen Ranger Raptor SCab (since the 5th gen RR obviously won’t happen) wouldn’t that be sweet…

I’m going back to sleep to enjoy my favorable alternate reality where I’ll be driving a 5th gen Ranger Raptor just a little longer ?. Where birds only poop on teslas and prius vehicles ?

stock height front end of my tremor is 36 7/8” passenger side and 36 3/4” driver side about 40k miles of tire wear and a slight 1/2” over 6’ of slope on the drive way (could explain the slight difference in height.. tire pressures are equal drive side/ passenger side.)

Offer a Ranger Raptor SuperCab and I wouldn’t even notice the ADM. ?

I have about a 3 1/2 lift from Rough Country (the K-mart version lift LOL) go ahead and laugh now, but I abuse the shit out of my truck, have had it in the air, put 1100 lbs on the bed, I have it over 100mph at least once a week LOL dont tell my insurance company, has not failed me yet, I just went even one size tire larger and Love the handle and ride 285/75/17
don't notice any difference in gas usage I get 18 to 22mpg no matter what I do, and no matter what gas I run or what load I am pulling! (once this last year I got 25mpg down in D.C might have been better gas)

Thank you to everyone who has replied. It's been a busy 48 hours and I didn't have a lot of time to get things done and reply but I do appreciate the feedback.

So all said and done the truck is now sitting 40" rear, and 38" front. I have the coilovers adjusted pretty high up but I realized I'm also fighting the added weight of the winch and hidden winch mount I added aprox 6 months ago on the truck which is part of why the front and rear are so different (I expected with .5-1" of each other).

That said I'm ok with the 2" rake. It does look a little bit "wacky racer" but I normally have 150-300lbs worth of stuff in the back and with that stuff the rear compresses to about 39". I am also hoping to add an overlander setup in the next 6-12 months so rather than rip it all apart I'm going to leave the leafs as option 2 as preparation for additional weight down the road.

I got the alignment done and it was very off, and is now in spec (images attached below).

I will say the ride is much better now especially in the rear end. Pot holes and speed bumps that at low speed were fine on the front use to be spine smashers on the rear end. Now they are still felt but much more reasonable on the rear. The truck overall feels a lot less "boaty" in turns which took a small amount of getting use to as you don't feel the trucks weight shift as much as your own. The truck grabs the turn and takes it a lot cleaner now.

Overall I'm very happy with the changes.

Next up: Redtek Window and Mirror Module (arrives monday).
Afterwards: Considering 275/65/18 Tires, Modified Crash bars
Afterwards 2: Overlander setup.
Debating / Maybe: Morimoto XB Headlights.

Before (no winch, no winch mount, factory FX4 suspension):

After Suspension (Eibach PTR/PTC, Icon Leafs, and Winch + Winchmount:

Looks good like the color. I do not have a winch up front only steel bumper so that is the difference. Load up the back, put bigger tires on and you are all set.

Thanks, I have to admit when I saw your truck I was thinking the same thing. Weird, I wonder why ?

 

[Mighty Little Blue]

Please do not get offended, but looking closer at your truck I was going to say the flag on passenger side is backwards. Looking at a later picture I see you fixed it Thank You for that. It might have caused an issue for some people. The stars should always be leading.

No offense taken. The flag was actually on the truck when I got it (the first picture is from day 1 two years ago). I liked the flag but noticed the same thing. Also it only had a flag on one side.

So I bought a pack of two and put one on each side going the right direction.

It won’t be long and your rear springs will be squeaking.
