On the Eibach’s struts can you adjust them on the truck or do you need to compress the spring?
They need to be removed and springs compressed to adjust.

Beautiful ride, hopefully, the 2.5 front lift kit I already bought from fordrangerifts will achieve the same evenness on my 2020 S/Cab 4x2.
I see you're a chrome aficionado also, good man! :thumbsup:
Oh Yeah, IMO Blackout is overdone around the neighboorhood. I'm Ol School..I like chrome bumpers and wheels...

Question please:
Did the kit achieve the full advertised lift of 2.5 inches?
I already bought the same kit from fordrangerlifts and intend to install it onto my soon to be delivered 2020 S/Cab 4x2 with the FX-2 package.
My sole intent is to level out the truck.
Thanks!
The 2.5 inch gets you within 0.5 inch of level. If you want it perfectly flat you would want the 3inch level. I tow so wanted to maintain some rake to the truck and may actually add an inch to the rear so I am level when my boat is attached. Hope that helps

Indeed, your response does help, Thanks!
As it turns out I did purchase the 3" lift based on Robby Woolworth's recommendations over last year's Labor Day weekend.
Whats the tongue weight of your trailer/boat combo? She must be a somewhat sizeable craft.

Not really sure actually. It is an 18 foot walk around and I tend to store stuff in the cabin area, so it is not light. Probably not balanced as well as it should be.

@Fordrangerlifts.com makes a quality 3” lift level. It’s the perfect size for a true level.

What kit did you use and how close was it to the promised amount of lift?
Went with the Rough Country... added above the strut... the unit is only 1.5 but adds 2inch at the outside...added new wheels (rhino) and new rubber. Settin pretty

2.5" Rough country kit. I like it so far. Not sure if it was exactly 2.5" or not

Looks great!

Did you need to get an alignment after?

Also what's that tire/rim sizing? Did you need to do any cutting to avoid rubbing?

How long have you guys had the lifts on? Any settling after a period of time?
RC 2.5" level with 265/70/17 tires. I've had them on for almost 3000 miles now and have not seen any settling. The rear is sitting about 1/8" higher than the front which is perfect as I don't tow.

Definitely. Alignment is a must for any level kit. I'll post my before and after alignment

I neglected to measure the front ride height on my 2020 prior to installing my Ford Ranger Lifts leveling kit, but it got rid of the ugly "dago" look.

Ford Performance/Fox kit. Initial lift was 2.5". It has settled down about a 1/4". Rides great. I like it.
