Does anyone know specifically why 6 inch lift kits don't work on Trekors. I know it's because they have a lift on them but why is the lift not removed when you put an aftermarket kit on it. Anyone with specific knowledge let me know. Thank you.

They fit. No alterations needed.

Tremor's don't really have a 'lift' per say. However, they have upgraded leaf springs and better fox coils up front.

Awesome. Which bds kit do you have the cheaper or more expensive one. I assume it's a 6 inch kit.

Yes, I got the cheaper one with spacers. Ain't nobody got money for that expensive shit. My setup is a bit unique, I have a spacer stack up front. 3" from fordrangerlifts.com and then the BDS 6" spacer. All that on top of the tremor coil which gives about a 1" lift from FX4.

I'm totaled around 9-10 inches up front while the rear is up 6" from stock. I'm leaning back a little bit, the front is about an inch taller than the rear. I feel like this corrects some of the slanted body lines and gives the truck a much bigger look.

I talked to the engineer at BDS and he said they work. I'm gonna go 3.5 pretty soon.

Awesome. Did he give you any info about why they say they won't work? Any info you can pass on to me would be great. I'm looking to put a 6 lift on mine and I may have to convince the shop to do it because it says it's not for Tremors.
Thanks again.

Ok. Here is the difference. Tremor's have aluminum knuckles. The others are cast. BDS on their site have lift kits with aluminum knuckles. On their site they have a picture with a Tremor w/6" lift. I've seen many a Tremor with 6" lifts. Hope this helps.
That helps immensely. Thank you so much. I have not been able to get an answer from anyone. You rock dude.

That's incorrect, aluminum spindles were used 2019 to 2020 then most 2021+ had cast iron. The Tremor isn't different.

Any lift kit should work on a tremor, as the only difference in parts between a tremor and non tremor is the coilovers, leaf springs and rear shocks.

Edit: lift kit suppliers added the dosn't fit tremors because they didn't know if they would work till they fitted it themselves. Then this was never updated.

Hey can I ask you how your rangers power is with the 35s? Do you have a tune, if so which one do you have and how does it do? Thanks again.

I'm only running 33's plans to do 34's or 35's once change front and rear bumpers. Some other members are rocking 35's though, general consensus seems to be the truck does well enough but regearing really helps it feel closer to stock.

I run a livernois tune, it's pretty damn good. I have full bolt ons except injectors and bigger turbo.

Correct, unless BDS finally modified it for cast iron spindles. I looked into it with my 2021 FX4, and they only fit aluminum spindles I wanted the 3.5 lift. I talked to them many times, kept saying we were working on it. Then the Bronco came out and I think all resources went to that. Got tired of waiting so I went with the SVC billet UCA and Tie Rods could not be happier with them.
I see now on their website they make them for both spindles.
