2” Level, 35’s and BORA 1.25” adapters installed on Ranger Raptor

[stovall977]

The level is a RC 2 inch spacer. I went this route for now until SDI comes out with a billet coil top replacement for the RR Fox Live Valve. I’ve had pre-load collars on my full-size Raptor in the past and I didn’t like the harsh feel it gave the truck. I chose Eibach Pro Lift coil springs over the preload collar on my second F150 Raptor, although the progressive coils have their own set of issues upon full droop when you push these truck hard. The Eibach lift coil is a great option but you need to run a limit strap if you are going to push the truck to it’s travel limits. I know a lot of people that have blown the top of the strut part in Baja running Eibach lift coils without limit straps. SDI Suspension (the guys who invented E-Click for Fox Live Valve shocks) came up with a a fix. They built billet aluminum spacer but it replaced the entire top section of the Fox coilover. This turns the coilover along with their billet coil top piece essentially into one solid piece. They have not come out with it for Ranger yet but I assume it will be here sometime this year. Once they release it, I plan to run that setup. The one for F150 and Bronco Raptor provide 1.75” of lift, which I think is perfect. With the current 2” installed I cannot tell a difference from stock. I ran it for a few days with the stock tires before putting in the 35’s. With the 35’s installed it’s at kore plush and forgiving on rough roads and pot holes. I run between 25-28 psi on the street. For the wheel adapters, I called Motorsport Tech. They make the BORA (Bulletproof Offroad Adapters) they were awesome. They custom are different sizes and I chose to get them in raw aluminum. I really like the they source USA materials and build them in the USA. The 35’s didn’t run until I installed the wheel adapters. Since the OEM wheels sit at +55MM the 1.25” adapters pushed the wheel out 31.75MM, essentially giving me a +23.25MM offset. Just eyeballing the clearances, this tells me that a +35MM should be close to the ideal offset. I will have to do some trimming and fender flare work before hitting the trails. The adapters will come off once I get wheels ordered. I’m going with the Method 703 Bead Grip with a +35MM offset. I haven’t decided on a color yet. They make them in machined, bronze, matte black and titanium gloss. I’m open to suggestions! Or if anyone has photos of Cactus with any of those color combos please share them in the thread. Back seat delete platform is next!

Nice but excited as didn't read and thought it was finally the release of the Borla exhaust mods for the RR

Did you have to do any trimming of plastic or crash bars to make this figment work? And what has been your MPG with the change to 35” tires in normal day to day driving?

I just picked up the Method 703’s from ford performance in matte titanium.

Truck looks excellent, nice job!

Beautiful build! The stance is perfection, and the Method 703's are really going to bring the whole look together. I had seen another member in here with the bronze and Cactus Grey and the bronze color really popped- it's a stunning sight! Can't wait to see the finished product!

I'm also waiting for the Eibach pro lift. My ass is sagging a lot with the extra weight now. Wheel spacers always scare me because the studs on them always break.

looking good!

Thank you! Everything minus the Bora adapters were purchased from RealTruck! @RealTruck

I’ve ran them on my Tacoma a beat the hell out of it. I know raptor swap guys doing the unthinkable with Bora adapters. If you’re using cheap imported products they may fail , but these are great. Plus they’re temporary for me. I would have no issues running them long term either. I wouldn’t get the truck airborne with them installed, however I know a lot of guys that do it.

I’ve only driven the truck around town so far, so I’m not seeing a big difference on the MPG’s. I am taking a three hour trip this afternoon. I assume it dropped at least 2 MPG. I’ll let you know. Yes when in reverse in full lock backing down my driveway the tires contacting the crash bars. It’s minor, but they will need to be removed. As far as trimming goes, I need to get out and articulate the front and see where I’ll need to cut, but for normal daily driving there is nothing that’s needs to be cut or trimmed so far.

I appreciate the information! Truck looks great!

Have you spoken with SDI? I'm also waiting on their top top hat to come out for the RRaptor before I make a move to larger tires. Do you have to do much trimming with the current ~+23 offset with 35s? I was hoping to run +20 wheels with the top hat lift and 35s. I don't wish to remove my mud flaps and I don't really want to do any trimming. Maybe I have to stick with 34s?

I sent SDI an email and a message on IG but they have not responded yet. There is no trimming required for the 35x11.50 for normal street driving, only the removal of the crash bars or you could run the high clearance crash bars.
