Whats the best way to lift a RR with Fox live suspension?

[galion]

Ok, so where is this purchased from?
I feel like, imo, the upper spacer would work best cause it would keep the shock in stock position and not compress the spring more like the perch collars would.

I feel like a 1 to 1.5” lift would keep the suspension feeling as close to stock as possible and keep the slight rake should be beneficial if towing later on

Yep, on my F150 Raptor, I could feel the firmer ride with a Perch collar. On my Ranger Raptor with the 15mm strut spacer, it feels exactly the same as stock. I ordered it from this site in Australia. Overseas shipping was economical and it arrived very quickly.

Any idea if those are just for the Australian trucks tho? Those aren’t live valve shocks it seems from those pictures..
if they fit our trucks, I’m totally ordering those

Globally, the Ranger Raptor V6 shares the same Live Valve suspension. The photos are from the previous Raptor version, which indeed had passive suspension, so I had the identical doubt. However, both feature the same top base design. My 2024 model has Live Valve shocks Fox 2.5. Send them an email and they will confirm

Unfortunately we can not guarantee figment if it’s US Built

all Ranger Raptors we have supplied for world wide are built in Thailand

Before I get shredded, let me get ‘it’s just my opinion’ out of the way!

The Ranger Raptor is one of the most ‘dialed’ products Ford has ever produced. I would suggest you probe its stock capabilities before modifications. Larger tires will likely scrub speed, 35s look nice but will they really get you further up the boulder field? Lifts will compromise the live valve setup and steering components.

Don’t get me wrong, aftermarket brings some cool stuff, I’ve loaded my Bronco with it. I would say all the RR needs is more underbody protection, not a lift and bigger tires, but do you!

If your suspension looks like this, they will fit (the studs are from the kit) There is a video of a US spec Ranger Raptor posted on this forum with detailed views of the suspension, and it appears to be identical. I hope you can clear this up. Cheers!

I agree, for the first year you should test out the vehicles capabilities with armor and rock sliders. Thats what I did with my tacoma. I tried to do the Rubicon with 33" tires and I was at stock height in the front and about 2" higher in the rear. I failed hard on that trail. lol. During that time I didn't know when I added all that extra armor and the winch it brought the 2.75" lift in the front back down to stock height. So any kind of additional weight you add onto the rig, it will bring it down and you have to install stiffer springs to bring it back to height. So I got Eibach 14" tall 650 pound rated springs to bring it back to that 2.75" lift. Then I slapped 35" tires and did the whole Rubicon no problem.
