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!

35x11.50x17 Falken Wildpeak AT4W LR-C
Rough Country 2” Level ($59.99)
Custom BORA 1.25” Adapters
BAK Revolver X4S
BedRug XLT

So if I stick with the OEM tires and wheels on the XLT FX4 and 1.25 spacers will I run into and long term issues. Like suspense as ion?

Nice, I really want 35 on my oem beadlock capable but don't want to trim but willing to remove crash bars. Might have to wait for another lift solution.

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.

They make high clearance crash bars?

Well that's interesting

I installed the FP tune, massive difference in fuel economy and power. With 35’s I was getting 14.7 now with the tuner I’m getting 17.4 as of today on my last 150 miles logged. I took road trip the day of the install and averaged 16.9 on 489 total trip miles.
