Hello, I’m interested in opinions/experience about two things:
1) Will adding a minimal 1.5-2” spacer adversely affect the life of the Tremor CV joints? I know the Tremor has bigger steering knuckles than other Rangers so that’s one less component to worry about with slightly bigger tires. This is my first truck with IFS, so I’m not sure how much the suspension geometry can be changed before there are significant complications. I see in another thread that the stock Tremor already has a 5+ degree CV angle, so obviously that’s ok with the factory. But how much more can be done without affecting lifespan or stock ride quality?
2) If I do go with a small spacer in the front and replace the crash bars with aftermarket ones with better clearance, how much bigger of a tire can be fit on the stock rims?
Thanks in advance for any input!
