What did you do to your Ranger today?

[LB'sTremor]

I couldn't take looking at the factory wheels/tires any longer (no offence to those that have them), so I bit the bullet and bought new tires for the FP/ROW Ranger Raptor/Tremor wheels I had put on my truck when I first bought it. I switched to the factory wheels/tires a few months ago when the BFG K02's wore out. I probably could have used them for a few years, but just didn't like the look/size, especially with a level ?. Thanks Discount Tires for the nice price. Was the cheapest I found for the BFG/K02 265/70/17's.

Wasn't doing it for me:

That's more like it:

Now I need to get the factory wheels/tires back into the pole barn when I get home without the wife noticing. She didn't see me put the Raptor/Tremor wheels into the back of the truck last night, or see me leave this morning. ?

Are those the "Dyna Gray" 55MM Offset? I have been wondering what the offset looks like vs the Tremor wheels with the 42MM offset if so I would love to see more pics of the color in direct light and view of how the offset.

Thx! LB

Changed oil.. one of easier oil changes to do, on par with chevy s10s but cleaner.

Only downside is I wish the oil drain plug was on thr drivers side so ALL id need to do is lay in one spot and get both the filter and one plug in the same laying position. Also stripped the plastic screw for access flap, as expected...

No abnormal break in shavings/chunks. Not overly glittery oil... 6qts even seems to be enough.

Took it to Ziebart for the once a year touch-up. Have new truck smell again. ?

I had Bilstein B8 5100s installed (rear) on my 2021 XLT FX4. Took a quick 20 mi. test drive and I couldn't be happier.
Thanks to Stage3 and Guffey's Garage (Tipton IN).

Had my oil changed - last free one thru the dealer.

And found out they charge $89.99 to balance Tires!??

Looks Good - That is a must have for the gray trim.
and MAN - that's a lot of rice! ?

Nice - I hope when you locate your missing 10mm, you find that missing shoe as well. ?

yes they freaking do!
My dealer here in PHX did the same to me...for the last time...and because it STILL wasn't right I took it to @Discount Tire and told them my issue. They re-balanced my tires for free (and found two tires still out of balance by 3/4 ounce each, and one where the weights had turned sideways and were loose on the wheel--causing most of the hippity hoppity issue I was having).
From now on, oil change only at the dealer and tires are done at Discount regardless of what they normally charge for a rotation and balance.

@ChrisM, thank you for posting how your local Discount Tire store took care of you on the balance.
We appreciate your support.

From ground to center of fenderwheel arch is
Front 39 1/2
Rear42 1/2

Since tire size, inflation etc can change the height as well, I usually measure center of hub to center of fender/wheel arch

Rear 26 3/4
Front 24 3/4

Front has an eibach 3” lift
Rear icon leafs option. 2

awesome thanks. for that I was trying to gauge whether or not to choose your configuration or out of box configuration. I got 1 inch lift shackles. I couldn't tell what my real measurements was because my oem leafs were sagging bad. I have 1 inch difference from drivers to passenger.

No worries, I get it. I wasn’t sure how much over stock the installed add a leafs were on mine, so I was nervous pulling up to the shop to see the results. Turned out perfect and the truck drives so much better than with the add a leaf. Can’t say it’s better than stock since it was lifted when I bought it, but I have to belive it is given the progressive springs vs one leaf with an overload.
