Tremor squat?

[Rebel13]

The reason he offers the 1" plate for the Tremor is because it is already a little higher and this offers an "almost" level with a little rake still in. Look at his site with pics of it on a Tremor.

I did look at that and sent an email asking about it and someone got back to me saying to do the 2 that the squat would be negligible. Gonna call them today and see if they have ever actually towed anything with a tremor set up like that.

Here is my FX4 with Eibachs and the 1" Ranger Lifts Tremor plates:

You can always just throw 500 to 750lbs of stuff in the bed as close to the tailgate as possible and measure it stock. Then add 1-2 inches to your front measurements and you should get a reasonable idea.

That's probably a good idea. Will have to try that this weekend. Thanks

Or a friend with a travel trailer or any trailer with a known tongue weight could work too. Probably easier than tossing 750lbs in the bed. Work smarter not harder.

I have the 1" spacers on my Tremor and it is perfectly level when measured with a level on the rocker or frame under the cab. There is a little more gap on the rear wheel wells compared to the front but it is barely perceptible.

I have seen a lot of Ranger pictures on this site that the front of the truck is higher than the back, quite noticeable when using the rocker as a reference.

Well I talked to rangerlifts on the phone yesterday and and ordered the 2 inch. According to him once the front settles in I'll have 3/4 inch of rake and recommended these extended bumps stops to use when towing heavy. Either that or airbag assists. Said the amount of sag wouldn't be much at all. So gonna give it a whirl.

Let us know how it goes. The extended bump stop idea sparks a lot of thoughts around available suspension travel when off roading. Depending on your overall use case, it may not be a limiting factor.

According to rangerlifts they are made of such a material that they will give enough flex almost acting like an additional spring I suppose.

Still think you should have done 1". Hopefully it works out for you.

Yeah I'm hoping I don't have any issues with it. Buyers remorse always sucks lol.

If you're towing often enough that you're questioning the squat with a leveling kit, I'd say you shouldn't get one at all. The rear is raised for a reason.

Hello,
I put a 1.5" lift on the front and 1.5" wheel spacers several months ago and have had no problems.

Good to know

Most towing is fairly light. Just maybe a couple times a year will be heavy.
