Installed the front brake calipers covers. I will have to modify the mounting clips to install the rears.
Sharp truckCarlos..would look even more stealth with blacked out side markers!

Try disconnecting your rear shocks and take before and after measurements. I installed mine on the ground and pushed hard, im' no weakling though. I threw around 200lb truck tires in my working days. LOl
After driving for a week now & remeasusuring in the correct spot on the Bumpstop, yes, I can honestly say the rear is between 1/8 & 1/4" higher than before. And the ride is definitely sweeter now!

And actually, I myself had no problem with the install, or compression because I paid our mobile mechanic to do it. He also wired my LED bedlights using that connector under the bed.

I took off the EcoBoost emblem. I used the hair dryer to heat it up a bit and some floss. Used some goo gone to get the residual gunk off. Came off real easy.

Kinda bummed though. I got my ranger certified preowned and I wonder if the previous owner took it off (and the dealer reapplied) with a freaking flat head screwdriver. Big ole divots in few spots under where the emblem was. I ordered a touch up pen and will see how it goes

Just ordered their fender flares on Thursday and expected delivery is tomorrow. Was looking at that grille. I like the night view. Looks good!
Thank you! And so did I and I can’t wait. I was not expecting them to be in stock when I checked and jumped on it. Their website is killing me!!

HELL NO! I'm not wrestling those shocks back into place again. HAHAHA I did the passenger side by hand and it wore me out. We used a bottle jack to compress the driver side.

Ughhhh. I just realized I'll have to take the shock off to install my add-a-leaf. I think so anyways. ?

LOL, that hard to compress thing is where the slight lift comes from!

If you have to take them off again put a small ratchet strap around them before you detach them so they don't extend. It makes them allot easier to re-attach and no one has to bench press those shocks.

They weren’t for the longest time. I signed up to let me know when they came in. Ordered them 20 mins after the email saying they were back in stock lol

Terry, you have been very busy ! How does it sound ?
Well, I thought that the Ford stuff did justice to "Call Me The Breeze". I was wrong......

It's a rock hall now!!:rockon:
