What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Figarou]

Yeah that's tight!!.

Heh....laughed because "That's tight" also means......

That's tight

“That's tight” was slang in the 1990s for “that's great." One of the more popular times this phrase was used was in “Scary Movie 2.”

What is your rear suspension setup?

All ICON......As of yesterday ICON 2.5 CDCV shocks, previously had the ICON 2.O Aluminum since last April.... ICON RTX leaf spring pack, installed 1st week of Sept , along with ICON universal foam bump stops....

Installed the 12v outlet I purchased from forum member G5RP today. The hardest (and scariest) part was cutting the hole in my Bedrug bedliner to go around the outlet. I think it looks pretty good IMHO.

Anyone remember men's shorts in the 70's?

They weren't longs, they were shorts.

Wanna do a review on the spring pack lol, I want to get them but I do want to lose towing/hauling capacity.

Is your ride lifted or leveled? These look really good I assume this is the same size as stock? Just a different tread pattern? Either way, I like!!

Nope bigger, the stock hankook dyno pros were 265/65/17 30.6" the wild trek are 265/70/17 31.8" and are a nee design that is pretty aggressive cross between at and mt. My suspension is Eibach pro truck 2.0 coilovers at 2.5" with icon uca. Rear are Eibach extended shocks with 1" lift blocks. I had originally planned on 33s but decided to keep the stock rims, crash bars ect and not take a big milage hit. Pretty happy with results. Now if Rocky Road Outfitters would finish building my sliders....

They weren't longs, they were shorts.

For the record, that would be the 80's.

Magic Johnson and Larry Bird had great battles in the 80's.

70's, 80's, it's all a blur now. But the shorts you can't forget.

i think my berries would get cold in something like that lol. i guess the tall socks were to make up the difference for the shorts...

I reached out to ICON before I did mine as I have a flat 18' dual axle car hauler. I did option #2 on the leafs and the response was should be no problem or concern for towing the trailer.

You might reach out to ICON with your specific set up and see what they say.

I did get a good 1.25" lift, but the ride is so much better. More ICON'S to come as I am replacing the BIlsteins (F&R) with ICON 2.5's and Thanks to @Whiplash for his input. He gave me some peace of mind.

Not sure this is the appropriate thread for a review....but here it is...

I installed as shipped , did not swap in or add the extra leaf, the softest of the configurations..and advertised to be 35% softer in the spring ride rate than the stock mono leaf...it added .75" of lift height, It took 350 lbs of sand bags in the bed to get the lift height to .375" advertised lift, swapping in the extra leaf would add 1.5" ,adding the extra leaf +2.0" ?....

For load capacity and towing the extra leaf would allow for customizing
to match your needs.....

Now for my real world experience.. keep in mind this with the ICON 2.0 shocks installed, I have not done the testing of various valve settings with the CDCV 2.5....Off the truck hand compression test , 2.0 compressed much easier than the 2.5 in its softest setting, should translate to a faster rebound rate after the springs absorb the initial hit...Right after the leaf spring install I did some test hits on a series of 3 very acute speed bumps the kind you would normally slow to 5-10 mph to minimize rear end buck.. I hit them square on at 20 , 35 , and 50 mph. Was very pleased , with how little the rear bucked. Only a small momentary loss of contact with road at 50 mph that felt more like a jump not a kick..Wash board road much better , not getting the feeling of rear end wandering you expect at higher speeds...On the road ride much better than the stock mono leafs, no residual bucking after bumps or pot holes.... after the 2.5 CDCV shock install my short test drive in the softest setting, on road felt even better....?....

Thanks! This is next on my list. FYI if you upgrade exhaust
