‘26 Ranger Raptor on 285/75/17 BFG KO3 + 2” Rough Country Level Kit

[JJmoto]

Just picked up a ‘26 RR and had my dealer swap out the stock tires for larger 285/75/17 BFG KO3’s & installed a Rough Country 2” Level Kit.

Pulled off the stock running boards as they were shin/calf scrapers.

Drives great and the 34” tires fill
out the wheel wells much better.

IMO - This is how they should come from the factory!

Looks good

Looks great. I like the look without the running boards too

I’m running stock wheels and suspension with the 285/75s, what psi do you keep yours at?

37psi

Been kinda on the fence about a leveling kit. This helps.

37psi

I’m at about the same 35 at cold start and 38-39 after warming up, for me, I think the lower psi (they’re rated for 80 being load range Es) gives a softer ride but I can feel slight sidewall flexing which can be annoying. I was thinking of running them at 45 or 55psi for a week and seeing how that feels, I know it will be less compliant on bumps and potholes, but I wanna try to find a happy medium. I’ll DM you after I get some “seat sensor” data.
Welcome to the community! Truck looks good bro! I like that color!

Get mud flaps, you will get stone chips especially without the running boards

Looks like a rock crawler. All you need is proper rock sliders.

Too bad they don’t have these auto steps for our Ranger Raptors, but would like to see someone use these as rock sliders.

Lots of moving parts to jam or break

Those graphics make me think it’s still in concept form. If it moves, it shouldn’t be used as a rock slider IMHO.

I got the ultimate kyrptonite for real rock sliders. My wife is less than 5’ tall, and needs a step to get in the truck. Me not so much at 6’.

trying to find a compromise, or I am stuck with the stock steps for now

Well done @JJmoto ... and I agree about this is how they should have came from the factory.

I also leveled mine, but with Eibach springs.
I did not have to re-level the headlights afterwards because they auto adjusted back to OEM adjustments, but some here have said I need to recalibrate the headlights auto leveling.

Did you recalibrate your headlights after the work was done?
