Here are the latest additions. Pretty much done, except a hitch for when I need to tow stuff. I really do enjoy this truck.

Nicely done. Are you happy with the 2.5" level so far? Did it leave any rake at all or did it level it completely? Thanks!

Thanks! I’m very happy with the outcome. It feels like it sits right where the full size stock F150s sit. No more rake. I think if Ford would level these Rangers out of the factory. More people would be interested in them. It’s such a low cost fix that immediately changes the stance. I know personal preference but I’m loving this thing. For $660 it’s worth the mod to have it leveled in my opinion. One of the most enjoyable vehicles I’ve owned. Way more comfortable than my 2022 Colorado Z71 was.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I do not mind the rake. The stance is optimized for aero performance and payload handling when the bed has cargo / equipment aboard. I like the wheels though, lol.

There is a part of me that also liked that stance as well. Initially Discount tires had the wrong tire size of 255 65/R17s put on as shown in this picture and I’m not going to lie, I kinda liked how it looked with smaller tires and without the leveling kit. But ultimately I wanted the height for the occasional off-road use. As my use for payloads is once in a blue moon.

I really like those drop steps that you’re using. Which one’s are those?

I painted them, using caliper high heat spray paint. I’ve brush painted before on the 2022 Colorado Z71 I owned before this, but took way too much time. lol I did primer first then the red. And thanks! I really enjoy this truck 🛻 it’s the little details that make the difference.
