What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Samsquanch]

Today I put my Bug shield on.....weather tech..very nice

Ive seen a lot of these posted and that one looks the best by far. It contours really well to the truck and doesn’t look like it’s just hanging there out of place.

I’m not posting for likes, but I made this thread which I believe will give some insights on things I wish I knew or read ahead. I’m only advertising technical information I found through experimenting.

Also, there are amazing threads and posts in that section from many better builds than my own. Go check it out!

Installed Eibach rears. Way different than stock FX4. Wish I could compare to Bilsteins, but bought them since bilsteins were out of stock. Not disappointed.

Yes sir. He's my third Golden and first male and has an unbelievable fun personality.

My last dog was a wiener dog (and yes he was mine). He was 17 when I had to make the call.... he was a badass, he used to climb up and rest on the side view mirrors and live the dream...

Stock or not stock?

Installed Bilstein's 6112 front springs and shocks and a set of quick-detach sway-bar links.

How do you like them and what do you have them paired with on the rear? This is the setup I want to go with because I want to keep some rake and the adjustment on those seems easy. I was thinking of setting them at a bit over an inch of lift in the front. I guess I will go with the 5160s in the rear.

I have them set to 0.80 inches of lift. You can tell that it doesn't have as much rake, but if this wasn't your truck, you might think it is stock. The tires are 265/70R17, so overall it's about an inch taller in the front than stock. I'm sort of trying to replicate the Tremor engineering. I think the higher you go up, the more pretension on the springs and the ride would get stiffer. I can tell mine is a bit stiffer than stock, but the damping response is much better.

In the rear I have 5100s. I ordered the kit with the 5100s for the front and the rear, but the fronts are still backordered. I installed the rear shocks. When the fronts arrive (someday) I will remove the rears and replace them with the 5160 reservoir shocks. Then I'll have a complete set of 5100s to sell (fronts new and rears with 1000-2000+ miles on them).

If you do nothing other than install rear shocks, it will improve the ride tremendously.

Finally aggregated all of my individual switches into a single gang switch. Fits so satisfyingly well between the cigarette plugs. ?? I think I’m happier with this solution than I would have been with the Lightforce or Stedi fascia. Since I only had to feed a single wire through the firewall. Gonna make it easier to change things in the future with the everything in the engine bay. Currently have the Diode Dynamics SS6 wide beams, KC Flex dual spots, rock lights, and my bed cargo lights hooked up.

Are those after market headlights or the projectors that come on the lariat with tint and a eyebrow moulding??? I have been considering an aftermarket setup on my lariat but the projectors that come stock are actually really good IMO.
