Anybody planning to lower their 2019 Ranger?

[bzmotoninja83]

Got half of the Beltech kit installed today, that I bought from a member here, like 8 or 9 months ago. Figured, since i was in there to replace the lower ball joints anyways, id get the lowering kit done.
Didnt have enough time to get eh rear done and, really didnt want to fiuss with cutting the exhaust just yet. If I could find a cheap enough axle dump, I think Id just do that.

Anyways, here's Wonderwalllmao

I dropped mine a while ago. I actually had my MBRP system tailpipe remade to fit through the leaf spring. I now have a total custom exhaust that doesn’t need to fit around the kit. It’s a decent lowering kit with the exception of a few bad suggestions from the instructions.

I have the kit to install just have not got it on yet. But do you have any tire rubbing issues with your wheels outside the fender lip and being that close to the fender lip. How much did you lower and what are your wheel /tire sizes?

They rub worse without the spacers actually. Lots of cutting and clearancing to fit 285/65/18 for sure.
I drive daily in all road conditions with no issues since it’s been sorted out.

I want to lower mine, but that will be after extended warranty ends, if then. My biggest concern has been any impact to the towing. Also, I don't recall any mention of exhaust mods prior, likely I didn't read everything. I really like the FP exhaust I added, hope that would not be a problem.

I have mine lowered differently in the front (Control Freaks suspension), but same belltech drop in the rear. Mine's lowered 3-3.5" front and 5" rear and it hauls and pulls just fine. I'm about to sell my lowering stuff, as the wife wants me to raise it back up, since it's hers now

any thoughts/experience since you lowered your Ranger? How low did you a lower? I have Belltech kit just waiting for weather to cool down before getting under the truck. I was think 2 front / 5 back. I ordered and received the control arms too.

My Belltech kit has been on for over a year and working fine.

I see no one has posted in a while, I'm having a problem with my method 605s. The shop I took them to to be mounted said they were hitting my break caliper I ordered them from tire rack could they have sent me the wrong wheels?

 

[Rinn69]

What size did you order and is it the same as the description on the box they came in ?

 

[Winsonna]

I ordered 20x10 with a -24mm offset like the jason guy the only box information I have is the invoice and it has labeled what I ordered. The hub ring is wrong its 76mm needs to be bigger, I'm gonna try without the hub rings tomorrow if they fit I'll just get new rings.

Our hub ring size is 93.1mm, so the wheel hub bore needs to be the same or larger and just use adapter rings. I hate to state the obvious, but you need new wheels with a larger hub bore.

The wheel hub bore on the 605s is 106.1 the hubcentric ring tire rack sent me is 106.1 to 76.1 which doesn't fit yes but the shop said it was hitting the caliper anyway? I'm just very confused bc I see 2 guys running the 605s on this thread and I like that stance.

well new surprise. I finally getting ready to put my Belltech kit on and I go back on belltech site and see the control arms I ordered are for only alumium knuckles. I took a magnet to my 2020 ranger and the magnet sticks, so must NOT be alumium. Anyone else hit this snag?
