That sounds great! I/we are looking forward to your build. What do you have planed for the rear of the front fender? I mounted one 285/70R17(32.7") on a Method rim with the same specs as your KMC's and had a lot of rub in the back. I ended up going with 265/70R17's and still had to take the...
Removed the crash bars today. Not being able to get the front of it because of the bumper was a little inconvenient. Took about 30-45 minutes each side including removing the tire.
No, I don't think there will be an issue with the stock rims. Part of my issue is the 0mm offset which pushes the wheels out about two inches or so. It was dark when I finished up so I only have a couple pics that were taken at night. I will get some better pics during the day (if it ever stops...
I installed the Rough country 2.5 level kit today. Mounted a set of of BFG AT KO2's, 265/70R17's on A set of Method 701's. Even with only a 265/70R17 tire and a 2.5 level, it still rubs on the bash/crash bars. Also, the Methods are 8.5" wide with a 0 offset. I am a little disappointed that this...
Yes, the warranty coverage, according to the instructions and the dealer, is either the bumper to bumper warranty (3/36) or two years, which ever is greater.
I posted in the "Aftermarket Hard Tonneau" thread here, https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/aftermarket-or-ford-hard-folding-tonneau-cover-availability.1440/page-6#post-19380 about the issue I was having with the installation of my "Embark Ls" Ford part number, VKB3Z-99501A42-E, which fits a...
Right on! I plan on installing my kit on Saturday. Im going to have one rim and tire mounted tomorrow and do a test fit tomorrow night ( at the normal ride hight). If all looks good I will have the other three mounted and do the level kit on Saturday. I'll report back if there are any issues...
My set is supposed to be arriving any second. When are you planing on doing the install and do you know what the offset/backspacing, etc is on the Raptor wheels you are waiting for?
Yes, I have the drop in bed liner. The good news is that there shouldn't be any trimming necessary, at least in my case. I had to cut the bed liner on an F-150 install that I did but there seems to be enough clearance on the Ford drop in bedliner for the canister to slide all the way back...
On the truck, off the truck, I tried both ways several times. I know that it is HIGHLY unlikely that there is something wrong with the kit and much more likely something that I am doing wrong but there is absolutely no way it will slide all the way forward without actually cutting parts. I'm...
Well that sucked, three hours of my life I will never get back! I attempted to install the "Embark LS", Ford Part# VKB3Z-99501A42-E, and it didn't go so well. I don't know if I have a mispackaged kit or if it is just incorrectly designed. The the front cover panel that is supposed to go at the...
I have the Rough Country 2.5" level kit coming on Wednesday. As far as tires go, I am going with what Icon recommends, 285/70R17. The rims I am going with will be either Icon or Method with a 0 offset and a backspacing of 4.75" on an 8.5" wide wheel. That should give me about 3 inches of...
I'm installing it tomorrow so I will get you the dimensions when I get it out of the box. I will also try to get a bunch of pictures and post them here when I am done.
Well, maybe I will be the guinea pig. PatrickM just posted this link in the lift section so I figured I would give them a shot!
I just ordered this leveling kit from rough country. I don't know when they will start shipping but it can't be that hard to produce. Who knows, maybe I will slap these...
Yep, what he said. I have an Icon stage one kit on order but if these are easy to install then this might be a temporary fix until it gets here. I really wish I had more patience! j0shm1lls, go grab a set and be the guinea pig for the rest of us! :like:
