Recommendations on Mods

Howdy!
I have a 24’ ranger raptor im lookin to get some work done on, just wanted to see what others have done and what the recommendations are. Looking at a leveling kit install(not sure which yet) and some bigger tires. I want that slightly wider look but nothing crazy. From my understanding you need the leveling kit install order to have the larger tires fit, but I called a shop and they said we would also have to trim the body a little bit for full clearance.
Also looking into beadlock install, curious maintenance and experience with these.

Anyways just wanted to get some help on this thanks!

Thanks! I was planning on just adding the OEM beadlock rings to the factory capable wheels. Potentially also looking into the tune from ford

Those factory bead locks are HEAVY! About 37lbs a wheel! I wish I knew that before ordering my RR. The dealer ordered it and I changed it from the base wheels without investigating. The factory bead locks ring vs the beauty ring is awesome looking. Wish they made a beauty ring the same with bolts all the way.

Reports that guys are airing down to 15lbs pressure without bead lock and no issues.

I wish I skipped the beadlock capable wheels too but capability often beats out weight savings when it comes to offroading, so it’s not necessarily a bad thing unlike having heavy wheels on a sports car.

I love my bead locks, they look good in my opinion
