What lift and tire size are you using?

What lift and tire size are you using?

I forgot to measure exactly in the front but I think it's around 2" above stock in the front (no lift blocks or anything just swapped in 2.5 ext travel kings, svc billet control arms, etc), rear is stock except for the same 2.5 ext travel kings so same height but I'm making some leafs thatll add 1.5" (which will level it). My goal was performance/wheel travel/comfort not height.

Tires are 285/70/17.

Looks great. I went with ICON Stage 2 w/ billet UCAs (current dialed in at about 2” lift), and 1” blocks in rear. Eventually I will replace rear springs with tuned ICONs depending on whether I add a Diamondback HD tonneau cover and RTT. I’m running pizza cutters (255/75/17 BFG ATs).

Haha cool well take a look at my leafs when I finish up with them and see what you think. How do you like the icon kit? What kind of use have you put it through so far?

This bad boy just came out, or will be out soon! Nice looking rack, and I’m sure, that I’m not the only ones that likes racks!!!

Good seeing what people are doing with these racks. I'm thinking about what I want over the bed. No RTT in my future (I pull a teardrop camper for that, and if I ever get a RTT, it'll probably go on top of the trailer), but I do have a canoe I need to transport, and I would like to be able to put long lumber above the cab. Nothing like a contractor would need....just a little bit for the occasional home project.

I will also be transporting mountain bikes in the bed on fork mounts, so I'll need to be above those.

I briefly considered an adjustable rack such as what Thule offers, but they have some fit notes WRT the Ranger that sounds like due to the location of the wheel wells, I wouldn't be able to lower the rack all the way. The more I look at different ones, the more I like the idea of the overland type racks. Will give me extra spots to attach gear when I load up for a camping trip.

Thanks I saw the leitner design wasn’t the look I wanted. When I purchased my vehicle in the beginning of January last year, no company had anything for the truck, I was hoping for more options! I’ll have to take a look at the roofnest system.

I’ve been eyeing this setup from Wilco offroad, originally I thought they might come out with the same rack they have for the Tacoma the Trail Boss full system, that went over the roof. But I believe it’s been discontinued. (It’s shown on this thread very first one).
but they have the ADV SL overland setup that fits the ranger. There are two options a full height and low profile.

I’m still looking for one that will fit over a Softopper. Something like what All-Pro makes for Tacos. I’ve thought about buying their kid and modding it to fit the Ranger but I don’t have the time of space to do it.

I replied to a different post about this. Checkout my garage for a picture of my setup.

Nice I like that it goes over the roof too!!! Easy to load kayaks

I saw that one. I do like that setup as a option not exactly what I’m looking for but it could work it does look good though
