Leveling Kit Second Opinion

[MountainGoat]

You will be fine, I did the same thing with the eibach variation. Installed my eibachs and set the level height, then 3 weeks later swapped out the rear. I didn't notice any difference what-so-ever on the road.

Yep plus the rears are the easy ones to install.

Man, I did not know Truxxx made a 1.5" kit. It must be new as it looks like they dropped the 1" kit. I was kinda hoping for a 1.5" to make the Tremor perfectly level. I tow a lot so the 1" may still be the better route for me. Good to know though.

I think it is. Last I looked at their site they didn't have anything for Gen 5 Rangers.

I have the Eibachs and they do the same thing as the Bilstein....but this is the way to go! Don't use the spacers....you'll be happier going this route.

+1 on the Eibach recommendation.
We had our 2020 for maybe 2 weeks before I installed the full strut kit. The Eibachs make the truck ride correctly. No more bounce!

Mine is an STX 4x4 with the standard suspension, it doesn't bounce and I think the ride is perfectly fine. I didn't want an FX4 because I had another Ranger before with the Off-Road Package and it rode like a cement mixer. Realistically I don't go 'froading any more, I have it for getting around in the winter and wet boat ramps so I don't need stiff shocks.

I know we're talking about leveling kits (agree with strut or coilovers over spacers) but don't overlook rear shocks. Easily the best bang for the buck mod I've made.

Not stiff at all.
I was coming out of an F150 FX4 to compare and the ride on the Ranger is night and day different after new shocks with lift to level it.

That's one thing I like about the BDS kit, it comes with rear shocks. Although like I said, I don't have a problem with the ride.
