Just picked up my truck today after getting the Ford Performance Level kit installed by the dealer and while I only drove it a short distance home the difference in the ride is very noticeable. Ford even let me use my Ford Pass points to cover some of the cost. I think this upgrade was well worth what I paid. Can't wait to get it on the trails.

Looks great. Can we get a straight on side shot? Is there any rake left?

That looks good! Are those stock sized tires?

These are 255/75 17s. Could probably go a little taller with the level kit but I think these are about perfect for the Ranger.

I wonder as well if you could go taller. What causes more of the clearance problems for rubbing, would it be the height growing more or the width growing more on the stock rims? Would assume wider tire would cause more issue? If went with a 255/80 which is 33.1 tall but only 10 inch wide, wonder if be no rubbing? Any inputs greatly appreciated!

There is someone who put 255/80s on a stock truck somewhere on the forum. Don't recall if he had to modify the crash bars but that would be my only concern with that size.

Going taller is the issue. The tires contact the intrusion beams in front of and behind the tire assembly. Wider isn't that much of a factor as long as you have the proper offest or backspace to clear the suspension parts.

Just received my Ford Performance/Fox Off-road suspension kit. Will have before and after pics when I do the install next week.

To me it looks like there is still a little bit of rake on my truck but could just be a figment of my imagination. Front coil overs are adjustable so if I wanted I could go higher down the road. I'm sure the dealers have some sort of height guidelines to maintain the warranty.

A tip from the dealer: half shafts are apparently pressed into the hub assembly and it is very easy to destroy the bearing assembly inside the boot if you start tugging on it and it hasn't been fully pressed out.

Not like the old days when you removed a castle nut and everything slid out easily.

I just popped mine out today. I'll let you know how hard they are to repair
