Ranger XLT Suspension Lift

[ryanO]

I have a Ranger XLT with the 2.7L on order. I want to do a 2.5" suspension lift. I am unable to find a real solution from a reputable company. Am I missing something

Dobinsons seems to be about the only plug and play option in the US currently.

I bought Bilstein 5100 for a four door bronco to lift mine and previous gen ranger 5100 for the rear.

Those are the adjustable 5100's correct? And no install issues? That would be great news.
I had them on my '19 5th Gen to level they were great.

You wanna do a lift or a level? They are two different things.

I want to lift the whole truck about 2.5". I want the back to still be a bit taller as I have a 5K lb trailer I tow and need the back end to still be close to level when towing.

My guesss is Rouph Country will com out soon, but they usally do the 3.5” level lift.

Rough Country does have a lift out. But the reviews are…questionable.

Yeah, I don't think I'd ever use a RC lift or level kit. Definitely a step or 3 down from many of the reputable shock manufacturers.

Definitely, in quality, but especially in price. A 3.5" lift form RC is about $950, with UCA, front/rear blocks, front struts and rear shocks. "Reputable" manufactures are 3 or 4 times that price. But what's that saying? You get what you pay for (maybe).

The Common Law of Business Balance (John Ruskin) applies in all of life, Including lift kits.

rc used to have a horrible reputation for their springs sagging over time. their shocks are not the greatest either but their control arms were well made and their spacers are just like anyone else's spacers so if you are going for those types of static parts, rc will work just as well and the higher prices items.

its funny that jeep people complain about rc springs sagging because that is what jeep coil spring wranglers (1997-present) are known for, the stock springs sagging more than an inch and the wranglers bouncing off the bump stops. my wife's 2019 does it too
