I do not want to swap it. I want to lift the truck a bit more than it is, without swapping the fox 2.0, so I am trying to figure out what my options are.
I had the dealer install a 3” left on my 2021 Tremor and replaced my tires with 18” wheels and the ride is great. Plus it looks even tougher!

Did you not have to replace the fox suspension? I didn’t think the 2.0 could handle that much. Product link/pics would be appreciated as well.

Not at all, kept everything original that came with my Tremor.

I had the gent at my dealership that does the custom work put it all together for me. I told him what I was looking for and he had came through with it.
I don't think my rims have an off set on them. I had went with a bigger rim and tire to maximize the space the lift kit.

Thank you all! This is exactly the info I was looking for. Much appreciated!
Ford Ranger lifts makes a one inch spacer and a 2 inch spacer for the Tremor. I was trying to keep my funds in check for now at least so I just went with his spacer. It’s a 2 inch but I haven’t installed it yet.

I’m actually kind of a weirdo because I like the rake on my truck. So I went ahead and bought 2 inch blocks for the rear. So I’m getting a 2 inch extra height from the block and spacer.

I imagine someone has done this, but most people leave the back alone or go with Eiback 1” on the rear and say 2 inches on the front in order to keep a bit of rake but still bring the truck up.

FYI, and I didn’t think of this:
Coil spacers on the front don’t require anything with the shocks because they just go on top. Just do that, get an alignment and you’re set

If you do the back and I think one inch is fine obviously but I went ahead and added shocks that were built for 2 inches of lift. I didn’t want to take a chance and rip the shocks apart from over extension. Also, I wanted an excuse to buy those particular shocks… my eyes have been on them for quite some time

I went with Bilstein and already went ahead and put those on. They are phenomenal and just so you know, if you think you’re getting a good ride with Fox, oh my gosh, these new Bilstein shocks on the back are just phenomenal.

Oh, and those shocks are not adjustable that you have.

I don’t want to knock Fox because I’ve got a pair sitting that I want to sell lol

Enjoy your tremor! I know I have and I continue to be amazed because these trucks respond so well to these upgrades!

My 21 tremor I replaced all the fox. I found it a little too squishy and didn't like that you have to rebuild them so often. I did a ton of research for function and reliability and went with Bilstein 6112 front and 5160 rear with res. I got a used set of fx4 shocks super cheap and used those springs for the 5160s front to then do a quick swap. Quick tip to replace then I disconnected the lower control arm since I was going for alignment. I just did the marks before disconnecting and lined it up best I could. I was only 2degrees out. I set the 5160 two notches down and added a 1/4" spacer. this gives me approx 2.5" in front and around 1" in back. I'd read if you put 6112 too high that get a bit rougher so I didn't want to preload too much. I like how planted the truck is. I put on 255/80/17 toyo at 3 tires for 33" skinnies. this setup isn't overly stressing everything and is a happy medium upgrade for ability and reliability I feel.

The truck has performed great the few trips I've done so far. Good upgrade from my 2006 frontier 4x4 with 2.5" lift.
