Fx4, Crew cab, fox 2.0 by ford leveling kit, Toyo MT's 285 70 17,

[Blurpleranger]

Just got my 2021 Silver XLT Crew Cab, fx4.

Installed the fox suspension myself and that made a huge difference in the stance.

Read as many posts from fellow Ranger enthusiasts here to figure out what tires I could fit because the stock ATM's were terrible.

I wanted toyo mt's in 285/70 17, at first with the stock wheels. The +55 offset made that impossible and I didn't want wheel spacers so I ended up getting the new Method 703's in Glass Titanium. I picked it up a couple days ago and I'm blown away. It's exactly what I was looking for in a ranger.

I thought I'd only need to replace the front crash bars, so I installed the Ready Lift Intrusion bars in the front. Tires didn't turn much at all, so I added the rear bars today and it's almost perfect. Still a slight rub when pinning the steering wheel but it drives around just fine.

I'm excited to be a part of this community and will get listing more pics soon!

Looks good! Are the wheels the 0 offset option or +35 offset?

Thanks brother. They're 0 offseet. At first I didn't want the tires poking out much at all but after they were mounted I wouldn't have it any other way.

Stance looks great. What are your coilovers set at for front lift?

Thanks! Sorry for the delay... totally missed your question. At the time they were the Fox 2.0's by Ford Performance. I believe they were set 2" as default. Recently switched to Fox 2.5's(default adjustment)with dsc all around and couldn't be happier with the Performance. The rears made a huge difference while still having the stock leafs. Really noticeable difference compared to the rear 2.0's

Those tires and wheels look great!! What's the xlt badge vent replacement?

 

[Blurpleranger]

Thanks, I was really happy with the wheels n tires too. Method 703's in glass titanium. 0 offset. And the Toyo's of course.

Those vents are sold by Ford. Maybe originally air design. Easy install and not too expensive. Think they go well with my trucks silver/black look.

Thanks! RTR flares. Easy install as they fit over the existing flares. The Amazon turn signals pop right in as well.

Question on the high clearance intrusion beams... Is that where you are getting the rubbing or is it on something else? Also is it only on the rear of the wheel well?

I ask because I have 703s with 0 offset and same size tires on the way and also a silver Ranger. Thanks!

I love Method wheels, but I have to say, I love those the most.

Awesome.

Thanks! To answer your question about the intrusion beams... I believe it all depends on the specific tire. I've seen a bunch of people posting about their 285 70 17's NOT rubbing at all and these Toyo mt's rubbed on the stock intrusion beams. I bought the aftermarket, high intrusion beams from 4 wheel parts and still rubbed on the front of the wheel well where the intrusion beams slide into the frame itself. When full tilting the steering wheel too fast, into a driveway, I'd rub the front of the beam. Once or twice while off-road I've tagged the back of the front wheel well , carpet-like material. I've since removed the intrusion beams(front and back of front tires), the front wheel rear plastic safety waffle-looking piece at the back of the front wheel well. And the carpet like wheel well material at the back of the front wells. Now I don't rub at all even while going hard off-road.

If you didn't push it and didn't turn the wheel all the way too often, I could see how you could get away with it though. After everything, the wheels/tires and the 2.5 Fox shocks all around, have been the most beneficial upgrades.
