I’ve had my 19 ranger for two years now and have done baby buckets, toddler seats and now boosters in the back of my crew cab . My kids are 3 and 5 now. I am 6’2” and have the seat fully back so the older kids feet are close to the back of my seat (and you know how that goes).
All that being...
Fox 2.0 coil overs. I increased the preload a bit before install so it’s more like 2.5”-3” of lift up front. Rear unchanged but did add 2.0 shocks. It ended up more front lift than I was expecting so I guess rear shackles or new leafs are in my future. One upgrade begets another!!
I’ll be putting on 275/70/17 KO2s in about a week and a half. Will let you know how they perform. I live in the mountains of Colorado and just about everyone raves about the KO2s in snow.
This just showed up at my local ford dealer. Looks awesome. The place I bought my topper from did the build. I’ll give them a call soon to chat about it. More details to follow...
Did a bit of research and one Taco owner had the setup you (and I) are considering. This thread seems to suggest it will work:
