I've been looking at lift kits online the correct the upper ball joint angle with new UCAs. I'm seeing some that don't include 15-17, and some that go from 14-18 or even 20.
I like the height of the 3/2 leveling kit but It's really not great off road. No added wheel travel and the UCA can hit the coilovers. The shocks need replaced and I'd like to find a kit that includes upgraded UCAs as well as shocks. Really like Bilstein but not finding anything specific for my 2015 Expy. Can anyone confirm what Years truly interchange or post a link to a kit that includes what I want? Thanks.

Bueller? Anyone have any insight?

I could probably fit 37s on mine with some more trimming but who knows what setup they are running. I don't know if any coil overs that technically give it enough lift to "clear" 37s.

3/2 lift, Bilstein shocks in factory coils, put the spring perch at the highest setting for another 1.75" or so all around, LT295/70/18s on factory wheels with no spacers. I regularly take it off road, been on some jeep trails too. It 3-wheels kinda easy and with no load the upper control arm will touch the strut, but I haven't had an issue with it and with any weight on it, there's plenty of clearance between them. I've had no issues getting to and from the places that crushed my running boards and cracked both bumpers.

What roof light bar mounts are those, and how’d you route power?

I made them myself out of some stainless steel sheet metal. I couldn't find anything I liked and didn't want to spend a ton of money. I mocked them up with cardboard, bent them a little and used some liquid gasket.
I just routed the cord down the side of the windshield tucking it up under the door seal until I got under the hood. The plastic cover between the hood and the windshield is held with clips running across, not hard to get up. So far it's held up great, I figured I'd watch it and if it moved I'd come up with something else, but so far (~6mos) no need and it looks really clean, there's only about 3 inches of wire visible.

That’s great. Always had a similar idea in my head, but had neither the balls nor ambition to do it. Nice work.

Here's my rig! New to Forum just got a few months ago and put all black Helo 22" wheels on it with 305/45R22 TOYO Open Country AT's on it and dipped everything else accept door handles. Debating lift or level but currently has no rub. Might add light bar or pod lights next and remove resonator and side exit exhaust but first have to replace brake pads and spark plugs.

No lift, stock raptor take offs 285 70 17. No rub anywhere..

I have a 3/2 lift in the garage. And will probably run 285 75 17

May be stock wheels, but Raptors come with different tires... Bigger. As I recall 315/70r17. Effective 35" tires. (34.5" anyway). I'm running 35"s in my Raptor now.
