Yeah, our 2.3 4dr is close to 5k... about the same as my '16 5.0 crew cab longbed F-150.
Like width or height?1400 miles on it so far, averaged 23.1 mpg mostly rural driving.. almost 4 better than the ranger. Well see what the bump in size&weight does after another 1400.
I still just can't get over it lol. Same motor, trans, gears, tires, more power, less aerodynamic... and nearly 20% more efficient
I do have a request for someone with a leveled ranger though.. @Robertmangrum.rm or @JohnnyO .. how much clearance do you guys'es trucks have dead-nuts centered between the front axles?
*Trans is a 10R60 like the Explorer rather than the 10R80 the Ranger/F-150 uses.1400 miles on it so far, averaged 23.1 mpg mostly rural driving.. almost 4 better than the ranger. Well see what the bump in size&weight does after another 1400.

Here is the measurement to the top of the wheel arch after the 1.5” Truxxx level and with 265/70-17 tires if that’s what you mean. 38.5”
A wonderful little truck!View attachment 93818
Its pouring so this'll have to do for now but...
Whoooo-eeeee!
3.5" of lift overall, ride isn't bad for being e-rated tires. Rubs a bit.. rough country lied. They also sent two bags of rear hardware.. that cost me 100$ -__-
A level kit won't make much difference on that other than what bigger tires get you, and that's half of the increase in O.D. So if you're new larger tires are, say 2" taller, that's 1" on either side from the hub center so it would increase the axle's ground clearance by 1".
Ok... same enough
which is kind of wierd and a bit of a bummer.
OK I'll measure it in the morning. Right now I'm running 305/65r17s So mine be a little higher than JohnnyO. If I remember you see running 275/70r17s right? I've got a set of 305/70r17s in waiting. But I'm gonna running these till cord are showing haha. Well maybe not but I'm gonna were them down to the tread indicators before I change them out.View attachment 93908
What Uncle Gump said.. I can't explain things today lol. Red squiggle.
Ok... same enough
Yes thank you lol.
It might just be an optical illusion.. but I don't feel like the Bronco has quite as much clearance there as my old truck did
OK. So I measured in a couple places. At the lower control arms I'm little over 11 inches. At the cross member where the skid plate mounts I'm at 12 exactly but the front diff mount is only 11 1/2.View attachment 93908
