I have a 2019 ranger fx4 and I’m waiting on a set of 265/70/17 falken wild peaks. I want to level it out but I don’t want it to cause problems as I do play around off road with the truck some. And the suspension dose get flexed a fair amount. I would love to do the fox kit but will never have the funds. So I was wondering is the best option billstein 5100. Or is there a better option

I just went the bilstein option and love the ride and look all of the reviews I seen shows for the price they do amazing off road for what they are worth

I have the Ford Fox kit, if I didn't have the money to spring for it I'd certainly go Bilstein, I've used their products on several different vehicles and they have ALWAYS performed as advertised.

Go with one of the adjustable struts or a coil over set-up. Leveling brackets are ok...that's what I have. I wish I would not have wasted the money because I will be changing to Eibach adjustable struts in the near future. You have better control over the leveling and the upgrade to the ride will be very noticeable. I've already done the rear. You are definitely going to want to do the rear also. Our Rangers have a body roll from Hades with the stock FX4 shocks.

If you are looking to only do a leveling kit i would personally recommend the Bilsteins if you are on a budget. After that perhaps look at the APG rear leafs over blocks and shackles as you will get a little extra lift and more articulation in the rear.

Now if you want to do a lift instead(my preferred way for a vehicle going Offroad) then I would suggest the Old Man EMU lift kit. Yes it does cost $1,400 but I promise it is worth it since it is designed to work together.

That is my input.

You dont need a 1/4 inch wheel space for that size on stock wheels. If you were running 285/70-17 then you would want 1/4 inch wheel spacers so you dont rub.
