KMC IMS Wheels + Rock Krawler 1.5" Front Level on 2025 Ranger Raptor

[mooner3]

Very happy with the result, wanted to retain a tiny bit of rake and love the wheels. I realize not everyone's style but I found photos + info on this forum so helpful I wanted to post for any folks down the line looking for inspiration for their own builds. Thanks to all here for info / ideas / pics!

Looks good!

Question: Is the Rock Krawler spacer actually ~3/4" to give the 1.5" of lift? The photos on their website make the puck look rather tall, making me wonder if it is a 1.5" spacer which would yield almost 3" of lift. Any photos of the spacers pre-install? Or installed on top of the shock tower?

Thanks!

I had it professionally installed so clearly Im no expert, but I *think not* based on:

1. Pretty certain its not 3" lift as I believe that would make the truck nose-up and I measured and theres still ~1-1.25" rake back-to-front.
2. Snapped some pics just now and granted all I can see is the bottom of the spacer but assuming its taking up most of the height of the "lip" coming down over the shock tower that looks to be about 1.5" (certainly much bigger than 3/4").

Someone correct me if Im wrong...

Thanks for the pictures. Re-reading the GOAT thread on lifting the RR, these list the following:

1in lift = 16mm thick​

1.5in lift = 24mm thick​

2in lift = 32mm thick​

3in lift = 40mm thick​

​

Maybe it seems right that the spacers are only 24mm (just under 1") thick?

I'd probably just order from GOAT but I'm not digging the ~$100 in shipping and tariff thing at the moment

Sitting nice!

The raptor decal delete looks good as well, making me consider doing it to mine.

Thank you! Yea with a RR I don’t think it’s fair to call anything about it “minimal” but I def prefer the cleaner look of the sticker delete. Saw it first on this forum of course!

GOAT seems great and obviously 1.5” isn’t same as 2”/1” but yea cost, shipping times etc were all un-appealing. Rock Krawler has a good rep (esp in the jeep community) and is made in the good ol’ USandA

You've inspired me to order the Rock Krawler kit

 

[PA RR]

I got the FordRangerLifts 2/1 kit and am very happy with it.Quality made in USA and shipping was fast and cheap.

I promised myself I was going to leave the truck stock, except the KO3s...

You guys are making it difficult...

Nice looking truck!

Looks excellent, thanks for sharing! I just reached out to Rock Krawler about whether the 1.5” refers to the spacer thickness or the lift height. I’m guessing it’s supposed to be lift height as my truck has a little over 3” rake from the factory.

Notice any difference in how the truck rides?
