I

is it an 1.5 inch taller than the normal temor or is it just a how tall this kit is?

Looks great! What's the mpg difference? What are going to do first to try out the lift??

Booyah
So far the same I only drove about 45 miles so far. I going to hit a trail, and check the alignment, and push it from there.

Great stuff.

Booyah
Thank you

So over the stock height of the Tremor is this an additional 1.5"? Or is that 1.5 over the stock Maverick? I did a 1.75" leveling kit on mine, but yours looks more than .5 higher than mine, maybe it's my wheels/tires?

Looks good. I'm debating doing this with my FX4. I would only do a slightly larger tire since I don't want to hurt fuel mileage that much.

Nice! Really trying to nail down which lift kit I am going install soon. Thanks for the pics!

Booyah
This one is a well put together kit I like the quality.

The CV angles look steep but if there is no binding then I guess it should be fine.

Can you do photos of the spacers in place ?

Booyah
This kit is pretty well thought out. It comes with a kit for the rear as well to lower the sub frame

That is a pretty solid deal for all the hardware you get.

I'm worried about my CVs but I think will eventually go the route of a full suspension replacement via flat out suspension.

But that is after JCR releases their skid plates and rails....and I get out of the 3/36k bumper to bumper

Yeah im not doing anything hardcore until my warranty is spent. Plus my brother designed the shocks and I honestly think they ride and handle the rough real nice. As for the CVs I really think there is an upgrade lurking out there somewhere. It will turn up, slightly longer with better joints. Probably around the time most of the offroaders are starting to actually have trouble with em.

Well I'll be looking, I put 6800 hard earn miles on my last Tremor just off roading with no issues.

This one only about 700 to 750 so far.

I feel the biggest difference for me is tire pressure. Anything over 35 causes it to be pretty rough in my opinion but down in the 31-33 range on road sets up nicely.

My upgrades for now are going to be fog lights (factory switch), S&B cold air intake, and any skid plates JCR throws at us.

I will probably do the engine tune before 36k but well after 10k.

Suspension is absolutely after the bumper to bumper expires if not the full powertrain warranty.

Yep thats pretty much where I am at. Same plans. It is also primarily my wifes DD though I do drive it every time we go anywhere together. My thought is the intake when the factory filter is full. 265 or 245s once the 235s start slipping on our driveway, Skid plates will likely come whenever I start to notice tears in the felts, or when I pull em to clean and coat the underbody, though I may decide to make em myself. If I feel like I am getting to bored of the power while I still have a warranty I will try the Panda tuner out, after that it would be whoever has the best. I probably wont do the exhaust until it starts to rust away. I might do a small spacer lift like this one when it comes time for tires. But nothing like the full Flatout setup until the shocks are failing. I do have some lighting planned, but they are going to be slim LEDs recessed in all directions on my custom topper crossbars once I finalize them. They are gonna get dedicated straps that stay in the channel and also trimmed and drilled out for aero.

I do run my tires at 30psi our road is so rough for about 6.5 mins of driving that anything higher is really too hard on the suspension joints. MPG is down about 20% from when I ran the tires at 50 on the mainland, but gas is cheap and will likely get cheaper with more EVs on the road. going to a 265/65r17 may allow me to run a lil higher psi because of increased volume allowing more flex offroad. That may offset a lil bit of the MT tread I am thinking about.

Really looking forward to hearing how well lifted Tremors do offroad and what tires everyone is able to fit. It will be great if we can fit a solid 31" tire on these with minor suspension mods. That is exactly what the first generation compact rangers could do. Me and a buddy put 31s on his 87 Ranger with a spring spacer up front and a shackle flip and extension in the rear. That truck did pretty good. Kept up with my CJs most of the time.

I'll second that. Set mine to 32psi at delivery, were in the 38psi range.

Yep, I'm set at 32psi cold. However with the "warm" snap here in the 40s now I've had the pressure get upward to 37/38 running on the highway and could absolutely feel the difference. Promptly aired down to 32.
