Did nothing but wonder about leveling. Waiting patiently for front struts to hit the market as I’ve leveled every truck I’ve had and still wanna lift this one, but sometimes I think it looks ok as is. Whatcha think, level or leave it?
Rancho is making a set of 1.75” lift front struts now. I found them on the American Trucks website. The guy I chatted with said they have installed them on a 2024 Ranger and they work well. Personally I want to see some reviews on them before I buy. They aren’t that expensive, but the installation is a lot more than a spacer lift.

After years of lifting F150; I think I would wait for Eibach and BDS to come out with there’s, Rancho is more of a budget producrt.

How does leveling affect the daily mannerisms of the truck? Been a car guy most of my life so I'm not sure, but seeing the lifted/leveled ones on this forum... They all look nice.
Ride depends on how much you spend and the valving setup/ spring rate etc. Had a 150 Tremor spent around 5k on a stage 3 system and on railroad tracks hardly knew they were there and handled like a sports car. Tires matter weather SL, C, D or E rated
I've had Billstiens that rode like crap(valving) Fox that one was a horse ride another was fine.
Can't speak for puck lifts but 150 forum people frown on it till they can afford another setup

For shits and giggles take a picture of you cv joints
Ford Ranger What did you DO TO your 6G Ranger today? 🧰 🛠️ ⚙️ 🧽 IMG_2024

Here was a quick picture taken from the front driver side. The kit came with a differential relocation bracket so my CV angles are actually looking pretty good.
Thoughts?

Funny, the only reason I questioned this setup was I looked at the install and I didn’t have a step for the diff drop, looked at it again and there it was! Pretty good deal for this kit!

Yeah I am real happy with how it turned out. I’ll post updates next week after I put on the 33 inch tires and do another alignment.

I’m still waiting to see what Bilstein, BDS, and Fox release in North America for this truck. Hopefully the wait will be worth it lol

My father-in-law has a 2019 f150 king ranch that he has had since new. He loves it. Its got an aftermarket hood, rims, exhaust and 3 inch lift with 35s. He has stopped driving it because he said its a pain to park and to big for city life. I told him that is exactly why i got rid of my 2017 texas titan and got a new ranger.

So anyways, i took him into town to get some coolant for his truck because it was a little low. He was really impressed with the interior on the ranger and the pick up of the engine.

So he said he is going to list his truck for 40k since its got low miles and buy a ranger. He likes the ranger raptor looks and price so he said he is going to start reading about them

Installed the ADD off-road molle panels and a bed rug into the Raptor.

2 things:

-ADD molle panels aren't exactly aftermarket bedliner friendly. The tolerances are pretty tight and there was no way to get 2 bolts into the furthest forward tie down point. It seems sturdy enough without a 2nd bolt but ADD should probably loosen up the tolerances a little to allow more play.

-The Ford installed M8 bolts for the tie downs can kiss my whole a$$. Each one needs heat and the luck of the Gods to extract. Plus they are very soft. I rounded one head, then snapped the head with the extractor, then I snapped the extractor off into the threaded bolt. That thing is gonna be in there until this thing goes to the crusher.

Quite a few upgrades since I picked up the 2025 RR last Friday. The 3 F150LEDs amber lights in the top grille I had to modify significantly. Ended up throwing away most of the cabling after I was done shaving them down with a Dremmel to fit and spliced everything to come on with the new M&R light bar.
