That’s looking great! What Quickjack are you using?

It is the BL-7000-SLX, and it picks the Ranger up very easily.

I haven't measured yet. Once I get the last 2 pieces from Icon I'll throw them in, take measurements, adjust front height if necessary, then get an alignment done.

I'm going to try my best to make time to finish this all up this week.

Lift is all finished up, Rokblokz installed along with my aftermarket wheels and tires. I have a bunch of pics but will start with before and after. Top is stock, middle is lifted on stock rollers, bottom is lifted on my aftermarket wheels/tires. Pics will all be kinda crappy due to varying lighting and it’s impossible to keep a vehicle clean here right now.

Here’s a few more pics from install and completion. I ended up adding quite a bit more preload to the Fox coilovers in order to achieve 3" of lift. I thought they were supposed to come set at 3" but they were set to 2". Of course I forgot to take measurements of the wheel well heights after lifting but with stock wheels/tires on ‍.

That turned out awesome, it looks great!

I'll get better pics of the wheel/tire setup so people can see how they fit. The wheels are 16x8 Konig Countersteer Offroad with 0mm offset. Tires are Toyo Open Country AT 305/70/16. Yes they're super wide (too wide) but they fit perfectly on the original truck I had them on (2001 Tundra TRD Offroad). When they wear out I'll step down to 285s. The Rokblokz mud flaps fit well and almost cover the extra width of the tire that is out past the fenders. The tires rub on the flaps at the rear of the wheel well at full lock, so I need to figure out a way to pull the flaps back a little

Thank you! Its almost exactly what I wanted, but I'll still end up adding the RK Sport fender flares in the future.

I couldn't find any pics from when I originally did the install, so I went back in and took a couple. The cargo light wire is white with a green stripe, in the wire harness under the rear driver's side door sill. You'll want to test the wire with a multi meter because there are other white/green wires in the same harness. It will test as +12v with the cargo light on, and 0v when its off.

In order to get the wires into the interior of the Ranger, I used a rubber grommet that is in the floor. There are quite a few, but I used one that is just in front of the driver's side rear seat (my Ranger is a super crew)

Would something like this work to “T” off the cargo wire without cutting/splicing?
I plan on doing this install in a few days ,
Going to run some rock lights to bed and also run 2 under each running board , hopefully all split right off that cargo circuit for complete courtesy light rig

PLEASE DON'T USE taps like that. They cut into wiring, which can easily damage it. I've been a 12 volt accessory installer for a long time, and have seen so many damaged wires from T-taps like that, it makes me cringe. If you don't have the tools or skills to solder connections, you can use what is called a Military Splice. Google it and see how it is done, it is very secure and works great.

Ran through the car wash yesterday while it was sunny and snapped a few quick pics

The 16's look great, they make the tires look super meaty!

I did end up with a 3.5" lift and level stance. Front to back is within 1/4" so I'm calling it good. I had to add quite a bit of preload to the Fox coilovers in order to get them up that high, but it still rides really nice. The front is a bit stiffer than it was when it was at the factory set 2", but it feels great.
