New guy. Need ranger owners opinions on the rough country 2.5 kits

[Hack_Actual]

I have their 3.5” kit installed (3000k) and have ran 285/55/20 wheels since then. The ride quality is unaltered and I can’t speak for the MPG change from stock as I had it installed pre-delivery. I can say that on Fuelly I am averaging 20mpg with a 60% HWY per tank.

One issue that I have and I don’t think it’s RC’s fault, is that my D/S rear sits a 1/2” lower than the other corner.

The level and wheel pkg was dealer installed so I am right out the gate modded w no baseline.

I did notice improvement .

The first 250 miles I got 14.7mpg (but some of that included Atlanta stop n go traffic)

The second 250 miles I got 16.7mpg (and that included quite a bit of driving up mountains from Augusta GA to Nashville TN.

I suspect I'll get 22+ on the way down Friday.

I've been told repeatedly not to look too closely at mpg until the first 1,000 are broke in on a new engine.

For sure, it definitely gets better. Did they adjust your speedometer/odometer for the larger tires?

I don't think they even adjusted the headlights properly.

Gonna have to have that checked.

If the lights are off I am going to use that to force them to put the tires on a balancer

Get it checked for sure. If the speedometer/odometer hasn’t been adjusted your fuel mileage is actually slightly better than it’s showing too.

Sunday I spot checked it and found it to be reading 1mpg lower than actual. Truck said 16 and I calculated it at 17. I was driving pretty hard UP hill most of the day Sunday.

I estimate the speed to be reading 1 to 3 mph below actual as well.

I installed my icon suspension then went to 4 wheel parts to get alignment. They asked what kind of lift I had and when I told them they said phew, glad it’s not another rough country lift. Their opinion was that their hardware and welds are garbage. Ymmv...
