ROUSH Ranger Build

[Maxacceleration]

I always wanted to build up a Ranger for max Hp & Tq. It runs like a raped ape on fire sprinting towards an automatic car wash. The guys doing construction down the street love my drivebys. I love that the Roush is pretty rare. They only built @2000 of them over the 3 year run ('20, '21, & '22). Ford build 2000 RaRaps last week. I average @ 10.6 mpg. But IDC. I'm having a blast with it. There's not much more I can do (within my budget) to increase power so my next step is to save up for the Fox 2.5s. And the BDS 3½" lift. It's either,,, spend $70k (truck + upgrades) on a new Ranger Raptor... OR,,, spend $5k and have Raptor suspension (sort of).

Right on TDF, you know where you are at.
Nail it and go! Mpg does not matter when going for the pure power.
I just did the BDS 3 1/2” lift with the Fox 2.0’s, plus the 1” rear shackle. I squeezed every bit of the 3 1/2” out of it to get level this way.
But I wanted taller than most.
It rides very well. On the firmer side but controlled.
It will be good to see the next step with your truck. Build ‘er up!

Here is my height w/285/65r18’s.

I call mine a wannabe Raptor also.

Are you claiming 375 whp and have you actually been to a dyno with it? If so, I'd really like to know how you have 75 more whp than any other tune I've seen. Unleashed shows ~287/387 at the wheels.

That wasn't RWHP. Those are numbers at the crank. It put down 336 on the rollers.

How does your truck handle off road ?
Especially when you speed up ?
My set up is the Roush Level Kit with Fox 2.0s front & rear. It's fine off road crawling around. But it (the rear) bounces all over the place above 40 mph.

TDF, I am not using this truck as a desert runner bump eater vehicle. Easy trail work at sedate speeds, with fair ground clearance.
There is not near enough travel increase to bang bumps IMO.
I have a Total Chaos/King vehicle more suited to that (cycling 11 1/2” travel all around).
I think someone has done DirtKing here. Maybe an avenue for being OTG through the bumps.
I dont think BDS gives the travel to scoot. Just my opinion on that. Gonna keep my vehicle as cherry as possible.
Sorry I cant help more… easy running here!

Maybe this? APG

Surprised the Roush Edition never came with Aux switches. None the less, very nice rig!

I wish it had...
I had to buy my own.

I found it on Amazon for $19.⁰⁰

Do you happen to have a link? I spent 10 minutes looking and didn't see anything that nice.

Nice Truck but the linkswell killed it for me I had one on a different truck that I had and was the worst thing I had ever bought worked fine for about two months and then it started to go bad could not wait to get rid of it and put the old radio back in the truck. Sold it on Ebay for a slight loss but then it became someone else's problem. Also, their customer support is the worst ever. I had to prove to them that I had purchased it from a linkswell dealer, and they then had to confirm it with the dealer before they would even talk to me about the problems. Never again!
