Installed the rough country 2.5 level on my 22 ranger. Looks good but wonder if I need to install a differential drop?

I had a RC 2.5 level struts installed 12,000 miles ago last June. I haven't had any problems but

if at 40000 miles stuff is wearing out then I'll know that maybe I should have done something else.

I had this leveling kit installed last Friday. Definitely love the new look.
I lowered my headlights based on the owners manual.
Has anyone also adjusted the fog lights also?

I got the spacer installed this week 2.5”. I thought it would bring me level but I’m actually 1/2 inch taller in front. Guys think it will settle?

Yes, I kept getting flashed until I lowered my fog lights.

I had the struts installed and they settled after a while, but Idk how it could settle with the spacer. You might have to raise the back up some.

That’s what I was wondering. What’s a good 1” kit. What are my options? Don’t know much

I haven't raised up the back end on my truck. The only thing I really know about that is what I've seen other people say on here. Maybe some other people who have raised up the back end can chime in and help you out.

That's strange because I (and many others) have the 2.5" level and I went with 265/70/17 tires and I'm about 3/8 lower in the front than the rear. Mine are still the same after 20,000 miles so they won't settle. I know there's a 1" rear lift but can't remember who has it. You could check with Stage3 Motorsports they might have one. You can go to the sponsor section and send them a message.

Ok let me re check…. I guess it’s not quite 1/2 inch taller on front it’s more like 1/4 inch taller in front. No as big of a deal I guess. Maybe it’s the weight of the tonnoe cover or maybe my tires have more air in one end. Anyways that’s for the input guys… still love the new stance

My 21 fx4 measures very close to 2" shorter in the front stock.
