Ranger Suspension, Lift Kits, Leveling Kits

[NickTheEnforcer]

Yes I had an alignment too. I haven't had time to check out the front cameras yet as this took up most of my day. I don't use the adaptive cruise but I want to make sure the front crash assist is properly adjusted along with the headlights.

ok, no worries..mine goes in tomorrow for the frt 2.5" level/lift. Guess I will find out.
BTW looks good.

Thanks....I just tried out the crash assist and while it did work I think it came on a bit later than before. I don't do much highway driving and IIRC it use to come on a little earlier, I have it set to high and it went off about 2 car lengths away now. I'll have the dealer look at it when I go in for my first oil change. Good luck with yours and post some pics!

I'm looking into getting the ready lift 3' leveling kit. Does anyone know what size wheels and tires I can run without cutting or replacing the crash bars?

I just installed a Rough Country 2.5" level kit from @PandaMotorworks along with 265/70R/17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers and there's NO rubbing or cutting. Very quiet street tire and aggressive for off roading. Took the advice from others on here who have this same set up and could not be happier. Unless you're going to be towing or hauling heavy loads I see no reason to go with the 3" level or LT tires.

I’ve commented on it before but I still think this setup is perfect... excellent combination of an aggressive look but still mild enough for a daily driver.

not now, ive only got 2800 and a lotta life left in the oem hoops.
i will be interested in a +1 size whn time comes though, been happy with cooper street treads on my ram [last two sets].
really like the height. local 4x4 truck parts did it for $380 w/align. seems like a great deal.

does the tire stick out past the fender?

No it does not. Using the stock wheels and no spacers the Nittos are the exact same width 10.4" as the stock Hankook tires. Only the diameter change 1".

I just had the Falken WildPeak in the same size installed and get quite a bit of rubbing on a 2.5" level. Adjusted the crash bars as much as I could and it helped a bit, this weekend I will resorting to cutting.

Sorry,I had a brain fart when I entered my info. Mine are 265/70R/17 which are 1" in diameter smaller than the 75's. Still seems like there should be enough room though.

265/70/R17 = 31.6" x 10.4" Tire
265/75/R17 = 32.6" x 10.4" Tire

The 75's are gonna rub.

I've been reading everyone's setup and the largest I've felt comfortable with is 265/70/17 (31.6") without lifts etc.

Options:

• 265/70/R17 = 31.6" x 10.4" (Safe)
  
• 255/75/R17 = 32.1" x 10" (Possibly Safe)
• 255/70/R17 = 31.1" x 10" (Safe)
• 245/75/R17 = 31.5" x 9.6" (Safe)

I wanted maximum Sidewall rubber, and the 265/70 or 255/75 are the biggest safe without mods / crash bar removal / lifts that I could find confirmation on.

Wider or taller, gets you in trouble.

255/75/R17 was done here: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/new-treads.4492/#post-67370
