FordRangerLift shock spacers

[mike302088]

Hello, first time poster.
My 2025 Ranger Raptor just arrived at the dealer after being ordered in November 2024. I am looking at having them install the "FordRangerLift.com" shock spacers. Was looking at the 2 or 3" front and 1" rear shock spacer kits they sell. I am planning on changing to the 35" (315) size tires mounted to the factory bead lock rims. Will the 2" spacer be enough in the front or should I go with the 3" kit instead?
Thank you!

2" is plenty. I think there is someone on here running 35's on stock wheel stock and they removed the crash bars and nothing rubs. I run 2" front and 1" rear Goat Offroad top hat spacers with 35x11.5 on RRW +25 wheels and nothing rubs.

Some good info in this thread

I went with 315/75rR17 tires. Did the goat 2/1in kit. The 1.5in front 1in back would have actually gave me 2mm more room from top of wheel well to tire, but they suggest the 2in as perfect for 35s due to pretty much all aftermarket rims having less offset and tires being wider, causing interference on the fender/ fender flare.

I think the 1.5 would have been enough, but it's such a small difference overall, 8mm, figured id go with what they suggest. but it did reduce my rake even more and make it even harder for the lady to get in.

I just bought the same setup but I haven't installed them yet. You didn't have to remove the crash bars or anything?

I ran it with the factory crash bars and it fit fine. I had already purchased the Ready Lift crash bars so I installed them a few weeks afterwards just because I had them. But no you don't need to remove the crash bars.

How difficult are the crash bars to replace? Ready lift says they don’t work on 2024+ but it looks like many users are running them. I’m just trying to find information on the install.

With proper lift, backspace and tires crash bars are completely unaffected.

I’m running the 2/1 spacer kit from them and with 35x11.5 tires on stock wheels, there is no rubbing or need to remove the crash bars. The distance from the upper control arm though would make me question whether a 12.5in wide tire would clear it without additional offset. I definitely think 11.5 wide is the sweet spot for these trucks. 12.5 wide just looks a little goofy to me.
