I was just stating what it says in big bold letters on RoughCountry's own page for this specific lift:
https://www.roughcountry.com/ford-suspension-lift-kit-43130.html?find=2008-ford-ranger-4wd-412373
Notes - Important
- 17in or larger wheels are REQUIRED
- Does NOT fit 11.25" rotors found on some 98-03 models
- Models with 11.25" rotors must upgrade to 12.1" rotors
- 98-99 models equipped with pulse vacuum hub (PVH) port routed through the knuckle will need to be converted to manual hubs.
- An upgraded drive shaft is HIGHLY recommended, such as #5089.1
- A torsion bar tool is required for installation, such as #1067
- Specialty tools may be required for models equipped with vacuum operated hubs. (see instructions)
Also in the reviews someone talks about needing the 12 inch rotors (If it's a real review) and on the bottom in the Q&A section they answer that the 17 inch wheel is to clear the knuckle.
IF all that is just to sell us brakes and wheels on top of the lift, well that would say a lot about RC...
On 12deg North it says 285/70r17 is recommended.
It'd be great if you were right of course but this is what I'm trying to confirm.
After seeing some conversation stirring of this, we wanted to chime in with confirmation of the 17" wheel as a necessary upgrade. As Arthur has pointed out.

Undr, luv your advocation of us but as much as you'll hate this, in this instance you are incorrect. It's okay, it happens, even for you ;) At the time of the release of the kit and our posting both here and on our own cart system, there was a few things NOT in the special notes at the time of adding it in our cart system as we pride ourselves of being verbatim of any and all information offered by the manufacture or more when possible.
We have updated our information under an easy identifier tab matching the manufactures labeled "NOTES - IMPORTANT" with the most current information on the kit itself so as to eliminate further confusion and correct any possible misinformation that may get circulated.
That being said.. Who thinks we should take advantage of Undrstm8ed and offer an additional 5% off Code for those still interested?
