2019 Ford Ranger - BDS 3.5" Lift Install with Ranger Raptor Wheels and BFG KO2s

I finally got my BDS 3.5" Lift with BDS Upper Control Arms. All that extra height means I can finally run my Ranger Raptor wheels along with BFG KO2 285/70/R17s. I also installed some FactionFab 1.5" hubcentric wheel spacers to make enough room for the tire to clear the spindle. Please enjoy!

[@16minimonster16]

That was a super clean install and it turned out beautiful with that wheel and tire set up! Great job man!

[@J0shM1lls]

Thanks!

[@rangiwalker6547]

That’s so sick man! The fact that you can do that yourself is awesome.

[@jeffjones4071]

Perfect 👌🏾 amount of lift!! Looks real nice!!

[@r35killa]

Truck looks great Josh! Loving the OEM+ you have sort of gone with on both cars!

[@J0shM1lls]

Thank you!

[@carlosbishig1]

Great job guys and hello from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

[@stevetravis3400]

Very clean work, your truck looks fantastic!

[@dennisfossey4312]

Great work! I kind of looking this direction for a new midsize and have it customized.

[@user-cl2es9iu1j]

Sir, you are phenomenal! Well done.

[@abumikail4046]

excellent video. Looks amazing!

[@randyborrero8604]

Wow,, nice vid.. Truck looks amazing. Great job

[@J0shM1lls]

[@marka1712]

Wheel/tire combo and lift turned it from ehhhh to awesome

[@blairakana9984]

Great job. I got tired just watching the amount of work that he did.

[@corporal42]

[@geestang2662]

Bad ass!!! That thing should've came from from like this giving it a lift...👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@mikeleggiero2524]

Looks great mine has a 3.5 fabtech with upper arm and 275 65 18 ko2 black on black

[@marc9709]

Awesome vid, new sub here! I’m just upgrading from an old 2006 ranger (which I’ve loved) to a 2015 ranger limited. Problem here in the uk is that the new fords are plagued with shit oil pumps which are failing and causing engines to seize. Buying a Ford over here is like playing Russian roulette!

[@marc9709]

Such a lovely truck!

[@Powdermonkey99]

Quick jack with the 4 post, very nice -

[@J0shM1lls]

Thats the one - thanks!

[@joshuaspencer432]

Dang dude, that's sick!

[@casper24ism]

I love the clean look. I like the factory rake better though I believe the ranger raptor also has a bit of a rake.

[@nando6294]

Damn one year later and it's still one of the meanest rangers in the game

[@J0shM1lls]

Thank you! 😁

[@ulysses_gonzalez8840]

Beautiful truck

[@carlosvale8198]

nice, clean look on the truck...

[@superquax1]

Excellent job😃👍🏽✌🏽

[@dslusser13]

LOL just realized I know your picture from ranger 5g forums. Keep up the good work man!

[@smazzei80]

Just purchased the Ranger. How much did this impact gas mileage and handling on the hwy? Thanks!

[@Lima-Maqohm]

Beautiful ranger 👍🏻

[@JoshuaRegan]

Looks so good

[@okyspfpv]

Great video. I purchased the 2021 Tremor, but even then, the front sags. Was looking to do a spacer up front as to not have to adjust coil over and sacrifice ride quality. But wondering if I should do a UCA to correct BJ angle, or if the Tremor already comes with different UCA's

[@genius-no5sl]

Looks amazing 😉

[@baraosamedy432]

Era tudo o que queria fazer na minha !! Pena que aqui ....boa mão de obra é difícil ...!! Do Brasil!

[@reaj2010]

Looks like a very complicated install compared to my Jeep jk. Double the work at least. Good job👍👍✌️✌️

[@bubbaj6929]

Damn sweet job!

[@DM-tf6mk]

Looks great!

[@genius-no5sl]

Looks slick !!

[@adventureescape1929]

Super job!

[@J0shM1lls]

Hah, wife's dad's old truck.

[@keilfestin4606]

Awesome video

[@mustanggang3889]

That music is now seared into my brain

[@VixenVirusRedeemCode]

grabeh ka gwapo jud ning ford ba way maka lupig..

[@DragonInTheBlood76]

Thank You for the video.

[@nickyilliopolis8125]

Awesome man!

[@J0shM1lls]

Thanks!

[@raptoroutdoor3973]

good job ;-)

[@carlospaiz90]

Beautiful!!!

[@giangleinh1733]

wow....i love it!

[@Piracicaba100]

Marvelous!

[@mcwally514]

Can u directly install raptor wheels on regular ranger without other modifications? Does it fit?

[@bubbaj6929]

He’s like the Shop Teacher in High School that worked for NASA.

[@docstruthers]

nice truck and RS

[@J0shM1lls]

Thanks!

[@GustavoPorras273]

Tremendo juguete muy buen trabajo 👍

[@jjmack8233]

Enjoy this video. Just curious, why the spacers on the hubs for the wheels?

[@robwo2stavros]

He Josh, what kind of jacks you use. Greetz from Holland

[@chrisrabay]

It looks amazing! Do you Josh, or anyone else, knows what is the maximum lift without needing to install / change extra items? (sorry, I am not very proficient in this; hope I was able to explain myself).

[@deeboi97]

So your telling me there is an easier way to install my fox shocks… your way seems much easier than other vids 😯

[@J0shM1lls]

Heh, yep it worked for me!

[@arnaldo605]

this is how I want mine

[@IzalOliveros]

nice truck! I also want to install this lift kit from bds, I don't know much about trucks so do I need the wheel spacers, it is required? thank you

[@Hitmankingdom]

Muy bueno tu vídeo amigo, me gusto mucho como lo hicistes además usas Milwaukee yo igual tengo ese tipo de taladros

[@ashtonphelps6480]

If you don’t mind could you give me a ground to top of roof measurement? I want to compare this to my 2.5” leveling kit!

[@Vultite]

Nice job, what did you cut off around the 2 minute mark and why?

[@cuzimaluzer777]

That music choice is.....um. spicy

[@beersmurff]

No fixed jack stands when working under the car?

[@4ussie393]

what's the title of the background music

[@its_me5081]

For the thumbnail, I thought that it was Ford Ranger Raptor 😂😂😂

[@Dylanjeter123456789]

Now that looks good, I wonder if it works on the 2WD models.

[@bahlip2553]

That truck needs the V6 and V8 option added. It'd get a hell of a lot more consumer's

[@michaelcrosby4274]

Great video!! How much was your camber off when dropping LCA?

[@turkey6336]

That lift system looks cool, does it have a mechanical lock out.

[@wc4988]

don't know why anyone would give this a thumbs down , beautiful job , i did enjoy the video even though i own a zr2 , your truck looks fantastic

[@J0shM1lls]

Thank you!

[@prestonweitersjr.9460]

1/5/20, Nice looking......why? All that aftermarket hardware doesn't do anything. Wouldn't it have been easier just to get the next size truck....F-150? Just a thought.

[@willie9397]

W C, classy guy dont usually see that from other brand owners

[@mixalis6168]

Jealousy hurts the morons, me thinks!

[@MrDuarteryb]

Same here I owns toyotas but I really like lifted rangers. Looks amazing

[@user-nc7vf3oy6p]

She looks mean!! What vehicle lifts are those? Also, how does the engine handle the new load?

[@Jason_903]

Very sharp

[@jkonkel3985]

Did you paint the front and rear bumpers or do they come black from the factory? Looks great.

[@kper6416]

awesome jobe what tint do u have on it?

[@deeboi97]

Did you torque the lower control arms? If so, what’s the spec

[@Aceinfinity-le8zc]

If I use the stock tires will these wheels run as they are .5 inch wider ?

[@fR_eN]

35" wouldn't fit?

[@ethenvega3287]

What kind of eletric lift is that?

[@AlL-fw2cy]

Does the BDS UCA have a zerk fitting for 3k maintenance?

[@PopEye2384]

offset spacers are needed for 285/70r17 even after 3.5" lift??? i was planning for a modest 2" lift and upsizing with same spec tyres as on the Ranger Raptor.... not a big fan of using offsets.... is there any way out??

[@J0shM1lls]

The offset spacers aren't required, I just used them so the wheels stick out to match the fender flares better. You can run 285/70r17s with a 3.2" lift without spacers as long as the wheels have the same backspacing as factory wheels.

[@jannievanniekerk6290]

Very cool tools you have. Did you put a lifting kit in the front shocks? Couldn’t work out what you were doing? What thickness wheel spacers? Good video. 👍

[@josemartinez3575]

It's been over a year, how is it riding with those spacers now? Honest question...

[@timbas9939]

Do you have to put spacers on?. What if I get the tremor wheels, do I still need to get spacers?

[@rdanalytics9197]

You would have to be a master mechanic to pull this off...

[@J0shM1lls]

I'm just a regular DIYer though 😁

[@JeremyRayValdez]

Excellent truck!! What was the total cost of this lift with wheels and tires? Thx

[@ejhayes76]

What kind of lift system is that? That looks very convenient for a typical home garage.

[@nicolasbeauregard5282]

Clean install! I'm looking into getting that kit for my ranger i was wondering. Did you need to cut into the frame? Because i want to preserve my initial warranty with the truck! Also did you need to adjust or cut the stock intrusion bars to fit those 33's without rubbing?

[@marshallcaudle3321]

If you watch the video, you can see him cut the intrusion beams off

[@donniesimpson4608]

Looks great how much did this impact your gas mileage and handling

[@freedomisntfree_44]

Awesome

[@RedStarAuto]

Where did you get the rims? And how much did they run you?

[@redneckskater1657]

Did you have to cut or remove the factory crash bars?

[@mattmartin5377]

Truck looks amazing. I have a 2019 Ranger Lariat FX4. Did you have to do any trimming to fit the tires so they wouldn't rub?

[@J0shM1lls]

Thank you! After installing the lift, I had very slight rubbing when in reverse at full lock. Since this install, I replaced the crash bars with the BDS high clearance bars and the rubbing is completely gone. I ordered them at the same time as the lift, but it took a little while extra for them to show up for whatever reason. Hope that helps!

[@volodymyrrak4483]

Looks great! What size tires you put?

[@nicoaguilar13]

What spacers and size did you go with? What sizer tires?

[@ohialehuacrozier8638]

Very nice
