Perfect! Exact same wheels I plan on running, just waiting till some more free cash-flow. I like the tire/size choice. I see your in NV so asking about the grip/braking in the rain with those tires would be silly. Zero experience with Wild Peaks.Just finished installing eibach pro truck lift with black rhino armory and 285/70r17 wildpeaks
Love the tires have no complaints they perform well
My stock 2019 Lariat FX4 bounced all over the place, and changing the tire pressures up or down as some members recommended only changed things marginally. As soon as the Fox-Ford Performance Two-inch Leveling Kit came out, I had it put on, and it solved the problem to my satisfaction, in fact, I love the ride now. I run my tires at 35 psi, that is, five pounds higher than recommended, because it improves mileage (and I like to feel the road), but no more bouncing or rough handling! In my case, I was not really interested in leveling or lifting, just in getting a more controlled ride, which is why I chose the two-inch level as opposed to the higher levels and lifts offered by other companies, but once it was done, I find that I enjoy being up higher and having more clearance as well, sort of a fringe benefit, so to speak. Another benefit is, with this system, Ford honors all warranties, which could be problematic with other brands....
Members debate how much "Ford Performance" added to the Ford/Fox Two-Inch Leveling Kit, and I think that the consensus is that not much changed besides the addition of Ford branding and warranties. However, keep in mind that the "front end" leveling coil overs for the front end that you mention and that Stage 3 advertises are only for the front end, whereas the Ford-branded Fox kit that I put on includes Ford/Fox shocks for the rear as well. Reviewers seem pleased with the front-end kit alone, but if you don't mind spending the extra money, I would recommend getting the full four....
That's not entirely correct. While we do list the coilovers alone, we also have our Fox 2.0 Stage 1 Package that comes with both front and rear. That's the system we put on our 2019 Ranger Project.
I am aware of that distinction and of the wider array of options that you offer. I was replying (entirely correctly) to the question of a particular member who asked specifically about the two-inch front leveling kit advertised on your site.That's not entirely correct. While we do list the coilovers alone, we also have our Fox 2.0 Stage 1 Package that comes with both front and rear. That's the system we put on our 2019 Ranger Project.
Hey, I didn't mean any offense! I'm aware you're responding to a specific person, who was asking about the 2.0 fronts on their own.
...in a vacuum makes it look like we don't offer an equivalent package to the Ford Fox 2.0s.
I'll be putting that Fox kit on my 2wd. I saw on your site that the lift is 2" for a 4wd and 2.5" for a 2wd. Any approximation on how much to lower the front spring adjuster to get an equivalent 2" lift on a 2wd?That's not entirely correct. While we do list the coilovers alone, we also have our Fox 2.0 Stage 1 Package that comes with both front and rear. That's the system we put on our 2019 Ranger Project.
According to Fox, the ride height adjustment is roughly a 2:1 ride height-to-collar thread ratio. So to get down .5", you'd drop the collar by .25".
how is the fitment on those 275s? any rubbing?I got a quote from the dealership I bought my truck from to see exactly which level kits they endorsed/installed. They offered both Ready Lift and Tuff Country. I decided on the Ready Lift based on all the research I could find. Not surprising, the dealership was over double the price of a local off-road specialist.
I considered installing the Ready Lift myself, but after reading the install instructions, as well as some of those who have done it, I decided it was above my pay scale!
So I had the Ready Lift 3” Level installed at the shop where I bought my tires. The whole deal included 4-BFG LT KO2 275/70R17, level kit install and alignment. The shop specializes in lifts/levels of all sorts. They have done many Ready Lift installs, but this was their first level on a 2019 Ranger. The tech said it was “more involved than he first thought”. They had the truck for 7 hours, and I had to wait ½ hour after closing to pick it up…. So I think it was pretty tough and I’m glad I didn’t try to install!
(BTW, no trimming or modifications were required on the level/tire install and I have had no rubbing issues either)
The 3” Ready Lift Level Kit puts the truck virtually level (unloaded). I don’t plan on towing much if anything (I use the tow receiver for my KUAT bike rack). I measured from the garage floor to the top of the wheel well trim (straight thru the center of wheel) and the fronts are 38-1/4” dead-on and the rears measure 38-3/4”.
My Wife and I both agree the leveled ride is better than the stock ride. Because the tires were swapped as well, it is not possible/fair to credit only the level for the ride improvement. The ride is great and we love how the truck sits!
