So is there an actual non spacer level kit for a 2024 Ranger that the American market can order? I researched Dobinson's and only came up with 10-23 Rangers.
Wait till the new year. Dobinsons and others are still working on confirming fitment for the 2024+

I can see where a longer spring and strut would help with the bump stop issue. But the CV joints and rack will still be at the same angle as with a spacer kit. The only solution to this would be longer control arms. I personally ran 2 in spacer kits on my last 3 trucks with no problems. But I mainly do highway driving. I can see where even some mild off roading could cause problems with the bump stop. Hopefully someone comes out with a strut kit soon. I plan to leave mine as is through winter. I also seen on another thread where someone pieced together parts from a Bronco using the Ranger top hat that they claimed fit perfect. I'd just like to know it was made to fit a 6G Ranger.

I think I've heard you start running into big issues when you get to 3 inch lifts. Then you start needing new upper control arms and start really straining the CV joints. I basically just want to go high enough to fit a true 33" tire, so 2" is fine, possibly even a 1.25" front leveling kit. Bump stops have to engage before you run out of suspension travel, this seems to be pretty critical.

I plan on just going with a 2 in lift. I may go to 33 in tires. TIS produces a wheel I really like. I have time to see if any of the aftermarket comes up with a strut and spring kit. Not going to put on a new wheel and tire combo with winter coming on. Going to concentrate on a bedliner and bed cover first.

I'm just getting really anxious to start overlanding. My other problem holding me up are the stupid J braces, Ford cancelled my order again. I'm really starting to dislike Ford, even though I like the Ranger. Ford should definitely pay for the J braces as its a design flaw. Ford is possibly the worst auto manufacturer to deal with.

I emailed Rough Country about their 3.5” Ranger kit and got this reply a couple days ago…

Unfortunately, we have not confirmed fitment at this time for that model. I would check back in a month or two after we have confirmed fitment on this vehicle.

This is the kit I would buy if it was for the Gen6 truck (but it’s not)
2.5in Leveling Kit
I just got off the phone with BDS and they are working on the 2024-2025 version of this kit. They said they hope to have it available in Q1 2025. It sounds like they’re working on several things for the 24-25 Rangers.

Thanks for the update. I’ll be an early adopter.

2024 Ford Ranger Lariat, 4x4 FX4.
While visiting the Ford Performance booth at SEMA this year, the Bronco shock and spring kits are made by Bilstein, not Fox. I inquired and they said the Ranger kits will also be Bilstein. Some manufactures may be waiting for FMVSS approvals.

Nice Truck! can you tell me more about the f150led side badge accent lights? Don't think I'm seeing them in the pics.
F150leds… they are a little long, but just press in and wire to running lights. Simple installation, but the extra length is causing light to bleed out the badge edge. At some point, I’ll pull the badges out and cover the extra light. Sorry for the dirty truck picks, we’ve had a lot of wet weather lately.
