Budget lift using info from 2019 Ranger and 2018 Rubicon lift/level

[Draykas]

I have a 3 inch level kit on my 2019 ford ranger and a 2 inch budget boost on my 2018 wrangler Rubicon. this allows me to run 285/70/17 tires on Ranger and 37/12.50/17 tires on Rubicon/ I am thinking if get Badlands without sasquatch and waiting for lift like this and would easily allow 35 inch tires. I know I have found some bargains on set of 5 that really love as great in snow and mud and very quiet on road (Radar Renegade RT). any thoughts all? Just some comparison info I have loaded up Ranger with this tires added the boat to hitch and plenty of power with the 2.3L and auto transmission. loaded up got 13 mpg avg with big hills

I'm going to end up DIYing my Badlands sasquatch package. All of the hard stuff is included on the Badlands so it's just lift and tires.

What I go with depends. If there's a Ford Performance lift that keeps the factory warranty, I'll take a look at it. But, I likely end up going aftermarket for the lift, rims, and tires.

I'm keeping an eye on Falcon Shocks. I emailed them back in August and they replied that they will be building a lift setup for the Bronco. Mostly, I'm aiming to add the fast adjust capability. I think Bilstein has a version of it too.

It'll depend on when this stuff makes it to market ....

All I want/need is a 2"-3" lift on my BD so I can run 33" without issue, as I will be towing this a lot I do not want huge tires.

The Bronco only needs 1 1/2" front pucks or so, to be leveled.

Measured a Sasquatch and a OBX.

Front and Rear measurements from the Sasquatch.

That was thought on Ranger lift and install was 400 including alignment. so think go aftermarket

Did the level kit for the Ranger have new upper control arm ????

3" seems like a lot for just a spacer on an IFS setup. They are more of the 1.5 " to 2.5 "

From what I’ve come across on the forum to this point, it leads me to believe I should be able to clear 285/75r17’s (33.9x11.3r17) which is right where I want to be. In the off chance I end up needing clearance or rub, I’ll do a 1.5”-2” level kit and that’s it. I’ll have most all the equipment comparable to a sas, I don’t need to go up to 35’s, all the other drivetrain upgrades from sas are included, so 34’s will do just fine. That’s where I’m at with it anyways. I had been planning a BD and leveling it out to do the same, but a Badlands puts me farther ahead for the off road goodies I want.

Dont you mean it only need 1 and 1/2 BUTTS in the back to be leveled. The rear of vehicles is high for a reason, vehicles arent just for sitting in the mall lot empty. Lift the front and rear the same and it will never look like a loaded down beater when you put a cooler in the back.


Sorry i just despise leveling kits.

If you zoom in, you can see that the front is 1 1/2" lower than the rear.

A 1" front puck is all this would really need for day to day practicality.

A 1" puck on the Sasquatch would let you remove the 0.4" (IIRC???) bigger front bump stops.

Also, since the 315/70R17 tires actually measure 34 1/2" tall.
The leveling pucks would let you run true 35" tires too.

-------

Kits that put the lift in the front and rear are, by definition, lift kits.
Not leveling kits.

While I agree that puck lift kits are ghetto, buying new front springs to get rid of 1 1/2" of body rake, is not cost effective. IMHO
