The spacers come with new studs. Unfortunately no one is making a proper hub centric spacer for the Ranger at the moment, so those are “generic” non centric. I dont really trust those so I’m gonna swap them out as soon as I can for hub centrics once they come out.

Haha! Never thought of it that way but now that you’ve mentioned it I cant unsee it!! Damn! now I need to get a grill.

The spacers are 1.5” if I remember correctly. I agree with you that wheel spacers aren’t the ideal way to acheive this but keep in mind this is only my “winter setup” and wanted to keep the stock wheels to keep costs down. My “regular set” are Fuel Podium wheels with -12et (offset) to get the...

Here’s a few before and after pics of my project so far. I’d say I’m about a third to half way done. Is it just me or do the stock wheels look damn good on this truck? Not terribly happy with the way the fender flares fit with the front bumper, looks odd from up front. Guess that’ll...

I know right! I had a Jeep before too. With a 4.5” lift I was able to fit 37x12.5 with just bending the cab welds in the front fenders. It’s those damn new “crash bars” in the front fenders that are just way too tight on the tires. From what I’ve read the Rangers’ bars are “tighter” than other...

Thanks! If you’re talking about the flares. Can’t say for sure if they needed to drill, if so would only be on inner fender to secure (???) But rest is just stick-on if I remember correctly. Fitting those tires, with the spacers, was a whole other story though. Lots of cutting and triming for...

After seeing this thread I was initially pissed ‘cause I was told they were “real” rock sliders when I ordered them and for me real means bolted to the frame. But since there isn’t anything else on the market right now and the company stands by their claims I might still keep them. BTW wasn’t...

Lots of cutting needed! Unfortunately no time to install rock sliders. Will have to wait when I get my Icon suspension and summer tires/wheels installed in about a month. Not the best picture but will try and post better ones this Sunday (out of town tomorrow).

here’s the textured ones from Ford/Bushwacker. And with 285s on stock (sport) wheels and inch and a half spacers Those are my “winter wheels”. Have a set with 295/70R17 BFG KM3 on Fuel Podium with -12 offset going on in a few weeks (depending on how fast Spring comes around).

Bushwackers are on So are the spacers And surprise! My rock sliders are also in. Only item that’s actually ahead of schedule! RC 2.5” being installed

That’s usually the “warranty weight” and not necessarily the real threshold. I see the clamps as the weak link but I’m willing to bet it’s built better than that. Anyway I’ll know for sure this summer when I start wheeling with this setup and most probably with a lot more than 185lbs on. Maybe...

Another look at 285s on stock wheels, pre lift and spacers. I think that more than answers the question: will they fit? Way too tight around the “crash bars”. Also doubt it will fit even with the lift on. Will know for sure how much trimming will be needed later today. 2.5” leveling kit and...

Don’t want to highjack @MrRisk thread but I’m trying this very setup this week. Getting my leveling kit late today and the dealer will test fit (again) my winter tires in that very size on the stock wheels Thursday. I’ll post results on my build thread. Although I have to add that I’m planning...

You’re making me hella jealous man! lol Even if I get the truck looking as good (and functional) as yours I’m many months away from being able to play like that ... a whole lotta snow needs to melt before we can even see our trails!

I’m not that baller! lol no it’s manually retracting. And yes cover locks so with tailgate locked the box is secure.

Thanks man! And right back at ya! If you like it now, keep an eye out for it ‘cause it’s gonna get a lot better in the coming weeks.

Dont get too excited! lol I haven’t heard back from the dealer since last Thursday. I doubt their initial enthusiasm about “simple triming of inner fender” will actually pan out. Levelling kit coming in this week so more chance of working out that way.

So far I only have one major pet peeve with this truck and has to do with the rear seat cargo capacity. The fold up feature is almost useless (for my use), makes it even more ackward to fit stuff IMO. Even though it would’ve been a high lift over I would’ve prefered the seat back go down flat...

I did a little bit when I had my lifted ‘01 Expedition (needed BIG trails! lol) and then a bit more with my Jeep 4.5” lift, 37” BFG KM2, and Yeah! That thing had a Hemi!! Trails in my neck of the woods are mostly old logging roads: somewhat rocky, sometimes sandy but mostly muddy. Will be...

This rendering looks way better in my opinion.
