No contact. It is an optical illusion at this angle. The rear end basically moves straight up and a little forward on compression. Here is a little better straight shot view. There is a good inch on either side of the tire.
Has all the factory suspension componants. Just my 3” front spacer system. No need to change gear ratios with the ten speed transmission. I had 35’s on it first. Feels the same with the 37’s but with more ground clearance and better handling.
I just removed the crash bars and the plastic honeycomb piece on lower firewall. A little bit of the bottom front bumper plastic. This is the only pic I have with the tire turned. I will get some better pics.
3” front level lift from www.Fordrangerlifts.com
Minor lower front bumper plastic trimming. +25mm Kmc wheels. Bolt on front light bar with 7” Auxbeam lights. Bolt on rear sports bar with (10) 3” linkable light pods. Next on the chopping block is a rear bumper.
My truck doesn’t have the radar advance cruise control. If your truck has that option I just wouldn’t put the two vertical tubes in the middle and it would work.
Power is great with the 2.3. No rubbing. I removed the rear crash bar piece. I left the front crash bar in and just trimmed the carpet felt up just flush with the top of the crash bar. Used a couple zip ties to pull the carpet felt back and tight.
I built this concept prerunner bumper last weekend. Bolts to the front frame horns on my truck. So I had to trim a little of the plastic. I can make an option to change the mounting points to where the tow hooks bolt. I’m going to make a winch mount next weekend and add a skid plate.
Just picked up last week. Put a 3” front level lift from www.Fordrangerlifts.com and added 315/70/17 Big Bronco Badlands factory beadlock capable wheels. Working on designing and building a prototype front bumper that will be winch ready and plenty strong. Will post pictures once fabricated.
