I have been looking for a lift kit for my 2024 ford ranger. I saw rough country has a new 3.5 inch lift that they say fits on the 2024 ranger. Does anyone have any other suggestions or know if that lift does fit the 2024 model.

I understand BDS is working on a true diff drop lift. I read thru the instructions for the Rough Country, it seems to address everything but the CV angles that become extreme at 3.5”. With that said I ran a 3.5 on me 2013 F150 for 60k no issues.

The kit does come with a diff drop. Installing today. I'll try to get a picture of the cv angles after.

If you have an xlt it will work. Did not work on my lariat due to the auto leveling headlight sensor being mounted to upper control arm.

So they couldn't get the install done because of that sensor? I have the Lariat as well and was looking at the same kit.

They installed the drivers side fine then got to the passenger side and realized the sensor. If you check your upper control arm passenger side you'll see it. Waiting to hear back from Rough Country on the issue. Super bummed! My new wheels just sitting there.

I installed the kit on my Ranger and wrote out tips along the way. IF you want it. I sent the tips to RC with a reveiw. The review wasn't 5 star rating only because the instuctions can mess you up, so they wouldn't post my 3 star review for it.

Besides the instructions did you have any issues and does it look like it will mess up the CV joints at all? If you don’t mind I’ll take the stuff you wrote down however I have no idea how to install a lift and will have to take it to a shop so I don’t mess anything up but I could give them the extra details. Thank you

I don't think it will put anymore pressure on your axles due to the differential drop that comes with the kit.

If the kit lifts 3.5", how much does it drop the diff? Surely not 3.5", because now we will have to worry about the drive shaft angle to.

I read thru the directions and no were does it list steps for a diff drop or parts to perform a diff drop.

ANY Update on this? I have a Lariat and want to do a lift kit for wheel/tire upgrade.
