Tires with a 2.5" leveling kit

[EDSEL FX4]

2” level with 275/65/R18 on mine. I’m not off-roading, therefore I didn’t cut or modify anything. If suspension articulation was a concern, I would encounter rubbing issues at full turn while in reverse. I have enough clearance right now for everyday driving and towing, with the 18X9 +18mm offset aftermarket wheels and nitto ridge grapplers. I installed the upper strut spacers in less than an hour, then brought the truck to a tire shoo for alignment. Hope this helps.

Ranger looks amazing, love the stance !! I just picked up a 2.5 RC level kit and will be installed Tuesday.

I'm running 265 65/r18 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T's on a 2.5' Rough Country Level with 0 issues and plenty of space. I'd imagine the 2' lift would be more than enough as well. I've put it through the ringer trying to get it to rub and it has so far passed all my tests at full lock.

One thing I'll say, going up a tire size with heavier tires - you feel it. There's an ever so slight hit on acceleration and 1-2 MPG. The Ford Performance Tune is something I'm interested in now. These Mickey's weigh 46lbs each. The stock 265/60s weighed 39lbs each. The lightest weight 265 65/r18 tire I found was the Toyo AT3 at 41lbs - I almost went with those but really liked the aggressiveness of the Mickey's and have read great reviews on them. The KO2's were originally what I wanted until I saw those were 51lbs each.

The pictures don't do justice on how good and proportionate it looks. Going to 265 70/r18 may require some additional modifications if you're truly off-roading. I think the 265 65/r18 is the optimal size for the Ranger with a level only. I'm super happy with it.
