HRGoffroad 2 1/2 inch lift kit installed. I think it rides better. Drove up the back roads to the NC Parkway (closed) and crossed down 421 from Deep Gap to home.

Looks great! Total clearance would be almost 11.5, correct? Did you see any changes in gas mileage?
I live in an area of high floods and am considering a lift so I am more likely to get out on higher floods days. Very interested in your experience!!

It looks great! It's a shame they don't have a sales representative and installer in Buenos Aires. I've already contacted them on the HRG website, but they haven't even responded.

I measured the lowest point on the front skid plate behind the front silver plate at ~9 1/2" and the rear tail pipe at ~10 1/8". Too early to compare mileage. And I normally run 93 octane non ethanol.

Neither of those can be used as comparison to Ford's advertised clearance numbers (or any other mfr, for that matter).

Ground clearance is most commonly measured (for advertising purposes, anyway) at the lowest point of the running gear. Typically, that's the bottom of the differential.

Unfortunately, there's no universally accepted or statutorily dictated frame of reference for the measurement.

Great look, it actually looks lifted compared to photos of Sports with the typical 1.5" lift. When are the big meats going to make an appearance. If you are really going to off road it, might be worth thinking about 16" rims so you can run taller sidewall tires for more flex.

That is awesome! It looks like it is all ready for adventures!

Looks awesome! How does it ride on the highway now? Any noticeable differences? I’m debating a lift but I also didn’t want to sacrifice ride quality on the highway too much since we do a lot of long trips to visit family.

I drive it home up Interstate 77 and it rode fine. It did feel more like a truck at first. Now I'm used to it. Will be on a highway trip for about 160 miles Saturday and will no more then.

Definitely cannot wait for your update from this longer trip!
Enjoy the ride

When I picked up the BS it felt different because I had been driving our 2017 Rav4 for a week. Yesterday I drove it on my normal off beat path and on the winding roads and it felt the same. I have noticed that I don't get the irritating beep warnings backing out of the shed from the grass and crossing the creek on the mountain due to the lift.

That looks hella good! Just looked up the HRG kit and it looks very complete and reasonably priced. Very nice.
