@@Mikeymike66 I drive my trucks for as long as humanly possible. I put a leveling kit, and some new tires on it, but I leave the tune alone. I don’t want to stress the engine more than I have to. Oil changes every 3-5k and I baby it. I’m 37 years old, I have no need to go fast in a mid sized truck
@@lesterparker1594 I’ve not had any problems for any of my vehicles that are tuned and dyno tuned. I recommend a tune especially if you’re running bigger tires and a (lift) gives you more power and is better on gas mileage depending on driving habits. If reliability is your main goal then I recommend the ford performance tune.
Well this is awesome info to know. I was thinking about going with a level kit and just going with a slightly taller tire. I actually like the look of my stock wheels on my Ranger.
Thank for making this video! Doing some research people seem to say that the 34" Patagonias (295/70/17) have a true diameter between ~33"-33.3" tall. I'm considering going to a 285/75/17 KO2, which is about 33.9" tall and 11.3" wide. I know you have a lot more clearance now with the pro-runner setup, but before going to that, do you think with your lift height, you had enough clearance for an extra 0.6" in height? I'm wondering if the slightly narrower profile of the KO2 (11.3" vs. 12" on the 34s and 12.5 on the 35s) would let me run it with no scrubbing...
So I’m thinking about a ranger and also thinking why not 6 inches rough country offers it and I imagine that would make 35s allot more feasible wondering why you haven’t gone 6inches ?
Good video, thanks for posting this. The 34s look good, I have a global version of the Ford Ranger, it's a 2017. I've been trying to find out if I'd have any fitment issues with a 6 inch BDS or Rough Country kit but it's difficult to get any answers from anyone.
Dang 35s seems like a pipe dream considering how much contradictory information I'm finding online about even being able to get 33s on my Ranger. I've got the Ford Performance Fox 2.0 suspension ordered (along with a set of Icon UCAs) and even with that people are saying I will still need to delete the intrusion beams to get 33s to fit.
Hey man, super excited about your Ranger, thanks for the videos! I see you have the APG long travel now with the fenders so what ride height are you at with those? And do you still have your bds intrusion beams? I'm looking at running 35's with the apg long travel so fenders would definitely be upgraded, just wanted to know about the shock height and intrusion beams, thanks!
Even a 33 with 0mm offset wheel seems to hit the plastic block on the rear at full lock. You have more lift than I do, but given a suspension lift doesn't change upper travel, seems you would be hitting that plastic for sure with those 34's when under compression and turning. Curious if you ended up having to remove that plastic and if not, how you got around that issue?
i added 2.5 inch lift to the front, running 1.5" spacer on stock wheels (amounts to a 27mm offset), 285/70/17 KO2, fully removed crash bars front and rear, and i still scrape the plastic a tad at full lock on on steering wheel... this actually stops as the suspension is compressed up front, so it's been great for off-roading. This rubbing stops under compression because of the geometry of the bump behind the wheel-well plastic... it sticks out more where the center line of the wheel is when the truck is level, but as it's compressed, the wheel centerline moves beyond the bit sticking out and clears just fine.... BUT with anything bigger than the 32.7" tires i have, you'd DEFINITELY get lots of rubbing if you don't remove that plastic behind the front wheel wells... unless you run more offset... but at some point, your big tires are gonna rub on the UCA or knuckle.
Hey. Great video and alot of great Info. Looking to do about the same to my truck but just wondering if the product you got was the eibach pro truck 3.5 lift kit stage 1???
I know this video was quite awhile back but Readylift makes front and rear intrusion or crash bars.....jus installed it on my 2019 Ranger..... FYI, nice vid anyway.
FYI...those intrusion beams as you called them are actually there for safety...they were put on so as to keep the front tire down during a front end collision. This was a safety feature that was on the F-150 to keep tire from going up into your legs and knees. Although 35's are sweet looking and all, in my opinion I would only fit tires big enough to fit between these crash bars. Could be something the insurance companies could use to deny claims as well. Like your videos but just wanted to put that bit of info out there for those deciding on what mods to do for there trucks. At the same time could save a little money as well
No no!! 285/70r17 is a 32.71 inch tire, not even a full 33”. 295/70r17 is 33.26”, not really close to a real 34, especially when in terms of say…a 1/4”, even if you’re running the Patagonia .
I have the fabtech 3.5 lift and 265 65 18. Need to change the spacer out. The truck rides well now just dont like spacer but that was all that was out at the time.
Wow. Not a single person asked about the gear ratio. The only available gears are 3.73. Those are inadequate for even 33's. You can't even swap the gears out; there are plenty of options for the rear but none for the front.
I’m looking to lift my ranger. I currently have a rough country 2.5” leveling kit for the front. Eventually I’m thinking of getting the Icon Stage 2 suspension kit. Would I need to completely remove my leveling kit to install the stage 2 suspension kit? Or can I keep the leveling kit? Tire wise I’d probably just leave it at 33’s. Thank you for any info.
Eibach and there kit only says 2inch to 3inch of lift so if your on the 2nd notch your only 2.5 inches of lift am I missing something and how are your axes doing? And do you think it needs to be geared
Nice video, but 295/70/17 does not a 34” tire make, lol. Try 33.26” with a 11.61” width and a 8.13” sidewall. In the words of the great JB, “ Come on man!”
It doesn't. 33s are the biggest you can go (I TRIED!!! ) I have 20inch fuel rims on 33s and the only way you can fit it(able to turn without rubbing) is removing the front small crash bars that are in the wheel well.
M B would the BDS intrusion beams be able to worth with a leveling kit and 33’s from the post above you responded to? Stock rims. 255/80/17 is the goal. Thank you.
I would like to see some wheeling pics to see the room you have while articulating. Coming from the Jeep world to the Ranger world my heart wants 35's but I really think on this platform that 32 or 33s may be the sweet spot. I know you are switching over to King Coilover so maybe you can squeeze some more lift out of that set up. If there is one thing I hate is noise.... and any type of rubbing would drive me nuts. I still think you got the sweetest Ranger this side of Australia for sure.... Posted a video of my Jeep and trailer when I lived in Cali. ua-cam.com/video/r0_QvlnFduQ/v-deo.html
Just picked up my 2021 xlt. Gotta save up some more money and I’m doing something similar. I freaking love this truck!
noice... gettin' mine tomorrow. Can't wait.
Have y’all done the livernoise tune yet ? If not I recommend

The intrusion beams either need to go or install offset beams
Truck looks great! Love it!
Finally lifted my truck due to your channel! Do you think 2.5 inches would clear the 35’s?
I’m looking at pizza cutter 35’s in 10.5. Thoughts?
possibly. Depends on the offset of your wheels
How did your fuel efficiency change with the 34's compared with stock?
Hey man, super excited about your Ranger, thanks for the videos! I see you have the APG long travel now with the fenders so what ride height are you at with those? And do you still have your bds intrusion beams?

this is nice bro. im trying to get bds lift kit for 3.5 on my ranger and thinking to run 35's. i should run 34's then.
Run "33- "34 at biggest

Hey. Great video and alot of great Info. Looking to do about the same to my truck but just wondering if the product you got was the eibach pro truck 3.5 lift kit stage 1???
Opinions on doing this on my ranger crew cab sport? It’s not 4x4 which is why I’m hesitating on doing this.
Great looking truck.
I know this video was quite awhile back but Readylift makes front and rear intrusion or crash bars.....jus installed it on my 2019 Ranger..... FYI, nice vid anyway.
So will 34s fit on just a 3 inch leveling kit with the crashbars cut? Also what is the width of your tires?
My guess is 12.5
Where did you get those mudflaps? I’m getting wheels that stick out on my ranger too, and don’t want rock chips.
Finally i see someone with the Eibach Rear 1” Block. Can i ask, is it noticeable the difference of 1” in the Rear?
Recreate 1431 you don’t want the rear block. I’ll explain why in a video soon and what it did to my stock leaf pack
Did you add the BDS intrusion beams? Does it rub or did it clear with them on? Planning to get them but will be running 33 inch tires. Thanks

Just out of curiosity what size tires were you running on the rough country leveling kit?
I have a rc 2" level running 285/70/r17's aka 34 x 10.5 no cutting or removing crash bars. (Milestars)
285 70 17 is more 33" 295 70 17 is just under 34"
No no!! 285/70r17 is a 32.71 inch tire, not even a full 33”.
295/70r17 is 33.26”, not really close to a real 34, especially when in terms of say…a 1/4”, even if you’re running the Patagonia .
I have the fabtech 3.5 lift and 265 65 18. Need to change the spacer out. The truck rides well now just dont like spacer but that was all that was out at the time.
What bed rack and tent do you have?
I have the 6 inch rough country lift. Can I it 35’s?
how much inches should I lift a ford ranger 2022 to fit a 315/70R17 tire?
Zip off the intrusion beams receptacles at the frame, remove plastic fender liners... still less work to fit 35s than with a Tacoma.
Hello Nice Video, where did you get the IBox suspension kit
Will 305/65r17s fit ok?
Were you ever able to fit in those BDS intrusion beams?
Nice truck, congratulations! Can I ask which engine do you have and what time is getting 0-60?
Got Me A 2021 stX Bouta Put A Borla On Soon
What kind of tablet mount is that in your ranger? Thanks
What size are they exactly
Wow. Not a single person asked about the gear ratio. The only available gears are 3.73. Those are inadequate for even 33's. You can't even swap the gears out; there are plenty of options for the rear but none for the front.

yes youll have to remove that spacer.
Did you have to do any re gearing at all ?
im on 37s now with no regearing. Update video coming.
@@NemesisDigitalMediaawesome! Looking forward to it thanks!
Eibach and there kit only says 2inch to 3inch of lift so if your on the 2nd notch your only 2.5 inches of lift am I missing something and how are your axes doing? And do you think it needs to be geared
I ask about the axles because I see everyone saying you need to drop the front diff after 3 inches
What mud flaps are those?
What ride height are you at in this video? Eibach coilovers go to 3.75", would that be enough to clear 35s with bds intrusion beams?
that will not clear
How is the eibach suspension?
What are these running boards???
Sorry only a few seconds in, what's the coffee thing hanging on the mirror? Coffee fan here 😂
What mount is holding your phone? mine always falls off
im using a Builtright industries mount now with an Arkon phone holder.
How does the larger diameter tire affect the speedometer/odometer accuracy?
Extremely
Curious about the power delivery from the 4 cylinder with those 34s. Power with the stock tires is so so, can't imagine it's that great with 34s.
295 70r17 is a 33 inch tyre. I have a 2 inch lift standard ranger 17 inch rims and no problems for me. A 305 70 17 is a 33.9 which don't fit 😂
Nice video, but 295/70/17 does not a 34” tire make, lol. Try 33.26” with a 11.61” width and a 8.13” sidewall.
In the words of the great JB, “ Come on man!”
Aren't your rear shocks mounted upside down? 🤔
Some people say installing boot side down helps water and debris not enter the shaft body. Most manufacturers will tell you it doesn't matter.
What kind of mpg do you get?
dont have much highway data to go off of yet
Leveling kit on a 34? Wud it fit? Thanks
maybe without intrusion beams
It doesn't. 33s are the biggest you can go (I TRIED!!! ) I have 20inch fuel rims on 33s and the only way you can fit it(able to turn without rubbing) is removing the front small crash bars that are in the wheel well.

@@dad3562 the hell are u trying to say lol. All I know is that I tried the biggest fit with removing the crash bars in the wheel well. And its 33s
M B hahahah thanks. Sorry, had a few drinks. I don’t remember typing this hahahah.
I have so many questions about suspension and wheel modifications....
do you know if a 2 inch front leveling kit in front we can fit 35 falken wildpeak tire
lol wont happen

Idk about the strength of those axles with those tires tbh
Still looks saggy at the back
You think 33s fit on a leveling kit
depends on your wheel offset but the intrusion beams will more than likely rub
Chinese tires on an American truck
Where did you buy those large flag decals
Tactilian
Want to sell your leveling kit?
already sold, sorry man
Why didn't you just buy a Ford ranger black widow. Comes with factory lift and 35-in tires.
You have any fog lamps or anything that you want to sell bro?
What rack do you have on the back for your tent?
