Ranger Suspension, Lift Kits, Leveling Kits

[FULLSCALE]

Really hoping Superlift comes out with a good leveling kit. I just won a $250 gift card from them today, so that would be the perfect item to use it for! I had a 4” Superlift kit on my old Level II but I don’t want to go as high this time around.

Pacbrake near Vancouver (BC not WA) should be doing a leveling kit and rear air spring kit. If you're in that area, get in touch with them about being a test truck (in the past they've given free kits in return for test fitting/measuring your truck).

I wonder how they can get away with selling it as new after removing the front crash bar to make the wheel fit.

Details? What crash bar and how do you know?

This crash bar. There's that bar and the plastic aero shroud missing. There just isn't enough room to install a 33" tire without rubbing unless you remove that bar.

Interesting, I wonder if it can be trimmed back a bit and welded shut.

Heh, this is a bit easier than the toyota body chop mod - there's only two bolts holding the crash bar on.

In fairness, I'm just going off of what I saw when I took a look at the first truck my local dealer received. At full lock, there is only maybe an inch of space between the stock tire and the plastic aero shroud. If you're looking at the front of the wheel well, the plastic is covering the crash bar so just removing the shroud MIGHT be enough but it'll be super close.

What is that crash bar supposed to do?

Dampen the impact of a small frontal overlap crash and push the cars off to the side instead of transmitting more force into the cab. (I think)

Yeah, played around with my lock to lock, the front looks to be the limiter. I bet 32's will work but I agree 33's are probably off limits until the bar is removed...
