What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Ranger2021]

Let me know if you try the 295's! What lift are you going with? I already have wheels/tires so I'm committed on that part.

I have a Tremor so it is .8 higher stock plus I added 1/2 inch lift. The current tires are 32's so I know I have clearance to get 33's on.

Hmm maybe I played it too cautiously. I have Eibach pro truck kit so will be up by 3" in front. Probably could have gone with Readylift bars...

I received and put the Putco Grille on this evening after work. It took 5 minutes. There is a video that shows a guy taking things off and apart to do this. Goes to show you, do your research. The hole is filled up now. I like the look.

I put a lead on my battery so I can hook up my charger without opening the hood.

You don’t have the negative wire for that connector on the negative battery post do you? If so, refer to the manual regarding battery charging.

I’ll take a look at the manual tomorrow... thx.

You know what? I might be pointing you in the wrong direction. The owner’s manual is not very helpful. This is what I’m referring to:

I'm still waiting on Fedex. I may try 295/70/17 but was planning on 33' s, 285/70/17. I will have to see how much clearance I have once installed.

I'm on 285/70R17 with 0" lift and +20 offset. The tires don't hit the readylift crashbars at all, but there is some rubbing on the felt fender liner when at full lock. I expect with my lift coming it'll be perfect and likely I'll be looking at going bigger next set of wheels Good luck!

Is your Tremor only .8" higher than stock? How did you determine that figure? Curious because I had a '20 Lariat FX4 and my '21 Tremor is 58mm (2.29") higher in the front and 32mm (1.25") higher in the rear with 29psi in the tires. Part of that I realize is the slightly less than 1" increase in tire diameter divided in half.

That is what I read but part of that is probably tires. Right now since I put a 1/2 inch lift the measurement from the ground to the fender is 37.5.

I changed the negative cable today as per below. Thanks for the info. I never would have thought it would matter.

 

[Ranger2021]

I took off my stock crash bars in tack. I am waiting for the new ready lift to come via Fedex.

I finished it this morning.

Looks like they result in a lot more clearance! I also like there's a bit less hacking on the truck with these. Did you need to trim plastic? I might order a set to try with my 295/70r17 and hold onto the Fabtech's I already have as a plan B if it doesn't work out.

I did not have to trim any plastic. There were small pieces on the original crash bars that I removed.

Okay thanks! I'm going to give these ones a try first as they are less intrusive to the truck.
