I’ve done a couple changes to the ranger over the past couple of weeks. First was the softopper which was pretty easy to install. I would recommend installing it when it’s warm so the material is more malleable. Second I installed my American Adventure Lab passenger molle panel. I guess Ford thought it was a good idea to use loctite on those cheap tie down brackets… And finally I installed the Eibach kit (E86-35-062-04-22) w/ the Superpro UCAs. The lift and UCA were fairly simple to install. Only two hiccups I had were that I did not have many bigger sized metric tools so I had to run to the store to pick some up. The other issue I had was drooping the hub enough to pull the shock out. Ford used pressed in studs on the shocks and they would not come out when I tried to hit them out so I just ended up cutting the studs off.

I still have a bunch of items I need to knock out including EGR j braces, some wheels and tires, and adjusting the height.

What size tires did you get on there?

It rides great, and the front gained 2-1/4” which matches the rear. But…

I had the 33” tires installed the day before the lift. There wasn’t any rubbing at full turns. After the lift was installed on Friday I didn’t have an opportunity to drive more than to/from our business.

But then yesterday I made a more extreme turn and I heard some rubbing. Sure enough the lift pushed the wheels forward I’m the wheel well and the tires are rubbing the from wheel well liner.

Next step will be new UCAs to move the wheels back via the increased caster. SuperPro has fixed geometry versions that should work. SPC adjustable ones aren’t out yet, but they did verify by email that they’ll release them but no ETA.

I’m going to looking into trimming the wheel liner for now, but won’t have time for a couple days.

Have you sorted out an UCA, and have you gotten the 33s to work without rubbing?

I purchased the SuperPro UCAs but haven't had a chance to install them yet. As is I get very little rubbing with the 33s and pretty much only at full turn. Trimming some liner would eliminate the rubbing but I'm holding off on that to see how the new UCAs affect things. And I'm going to dial in another 1/4" to 1/2" of lift up front.

Stock 265/70/17. I'll be going to 285s sometime soon

To be clear this is for the Eibach Pro R on a 2024 Ranger with a V6?
I just looked on their website and they don’t shown any Pro R just the regular ones.

Installed my kit with camburg UCAs, planning on putting some 285s on in the future. Debating between Mickey Thompson Baja boss or bfg KO3s. Let me know if any of you would recommend one over the other.
but the lift is nice, i will say that it was a pain in the ass to get the driverside UCA out because I had to disconnect the steering arm in order to get the UCA bolt out. Idk if any of you guys had the same issue. Can feel more of the ground chatter when driving but still breaking in the shocks but happy with the feel and look of it.

 

[Jacdschu]

Nice! How much overall lift did you get?

 

[Joe D]

I absolutely recommend the Mickey Thompsons!!! Weigh less than BFGs and I was in the Arizona desert every other weekend without a flat! I had 265/65/17 on my Ranger.

 

[Batmanthony95]

It leveled it out. I’ll try to post a pic later

Finally got around to having mine installed today, very happy with the outcome. The ride quality is even better than I anticipated, very smooth.

I had the dealership that I bought the truck do the work because I'm on the mend after some minor surgery a few weeks back and they made me a deal I couldn't say no to.

Dealership also told me they reprogramed / recalibrated the 360 degree cameras, something I hadn't given any thought to, probably because I've never owned a truck with this feature before.
