Hey Manny! Yep, its been on for quite some time, I filmed most of the install, but not sure if it was worth putting up a video of it. If its something people are interested in, I'm sure I can edit it together.

I'll see if I can get some clips of the exterior revving / drivebys possibly but for now, @Stage3Motorsports has a pretty in depth review here

Flares look great bud..I installed my Bushwacker OE-Style smooth finish fender flares today. I went with the thinner version that I haven't seen elsewhere yet and I'm quite pleased. They truly do look almost OEM. Here's the set I got in case anyone is interested - https://www.bushwacker.com/bushwacker-20955-02-oe-style-fender-flares-front-and-rear
What do you guys think?
I'll also have an install video up soonish.EDIT: Video is up!

Sorry, I'm not sure what the differences are between the North America Ranger and the ROTW Ranger. I wouldn't want to say yes and then it not fit.

Hey josh, hope you dont mind me resurrecting this part of your build. Thanks for the doing the install video btw! Quick question for you, I have a 2.5 rough country level waiting to be installed when i have time and im doing some research on the install and finding a bunch of horror stories of the cv coming unseated. I noticed that you went a different route with your install by removing the bolts at the rear of the lower control arm. Do you think that this method makes it much easier and less likely to unseat the cv as opposed to the "traditional" method? Do you need to replace those bolts you removed on the lower control arm or can they be reused and re-torqued to factory specs?
Your method looks a lot simpler with a lot less items removed and less downwards banging on the whole suspension system, which is giving me some confidence back to do this install.

Hey John,
No problem at all! I went this route because its the way the autocraze guys on YouTube do it on all their (Australian) Ranger suspension mods and it just made so much more sense to me. You're gonna have to get an alignment anyway after doing any kind of lift so removing the LCA camber bolts isn't the end of the world. Just make sure you mark them before removing so you can kind of get them back close to where they were to be able to at least drive it to an alignment shop after the lift is installed. Doing it the way I did greatly reduces the chances of popping out the CVs, I didn't even come close. You don't have to replace the bolts either as they're made to be adjusted during alignments and whatnot.
Good luck with the install and let me know if you have any other questions!

Thanks for the quick reply! Yeah, seeing other install videos and horror stories had me second guessing doing the install myself. But seeing your video just makes sense. And yeah reusing the bolts now makes complete sense. I was so focused on the technique i completely over looked that those are the camber bolts!

Do the ranger raptor wheels color match the paint on the bumper, from all the pictures I see of the ranger raptor wheels I can’t tell how dark they are?

I am curious about this as well. To me the pictures look like they are black in some and magnetic in others. The Ford performance website says they are Dyno Gray.

yup got the same issue, I thought they were being offered in two colors, summit racing has a pretty good price for the set

The Raptor Wheels are indeed “Dyno Gray”, which is the color used on all the trim and badges for the actual Raptor. The new Tremor package comes with the same wheels but painted in Magnetic. Dyno Gray is a bit darker than Magnetic and has a Matte/Satin finish versus the Magnetic gloss. They look similar at first glance. It’s hard to capture the difference in photos, but here is a pic of each below. Top is Dyno Gray Raptor wheels. Bottom photo is Magnetic Trim.
