What did you do to your Ranger today?

[MXGOLF]

I installed a ¾” level kit today. I got a Zone 2” level kit $60 (made by BDS). It is a 2-piece kit with a 3/8” above the strut spacer and a spring compression spacer.

2" Leveling Kit | 2019-2021 Ford Ranger 4WD – Zone Offroad

It took about 2 hours (the frustrating part was getting the upper control arm and sway bar link tight enough to torque without the shaft spinning as I did not have a metric hex for the sway bar link). I actually like this spacer better because it has a provision for the locator pin. I know it shouldn’t but I think it rides different a bit firmer (different weight distribution maybe?) it’s probably just my perception.

The 3/8” spacer gave me an exact ¾” lift.

I have been on the fence with a leveling kit since I bought the truck as I felt it sits right and rides right and I swore I would leave this truck the hell alone but the devil made me do it… I am not sure if I will keep it, try a ½” from Ebay or remove it yet before I go to the expense of alignment.

Yeah I am that flakey and have commitment issues LOL

Ohh and I washed her today, I got it back from the windshield recall work and the Dealer had washed it but they put that black shit on the tires that flings everywhere (in the wheel wells and down the side of the truck) what a mess…

Edit; ok I just went out to the garage to look at it, I think I will keep it

What size and brand tires do you have on those rims? I just ordered those rims for my Ranger. Thanks,

I gotta ask…why are these holes being plugged? Are they there for a reason or simply for handling and assembly of these parts? (robots, assembly jigs, that kind of thing)

What if they are there to allow for water or condensation to exit?

Answer...
A hole is a nothing, a non-something an emptiness, a void...
However, a hole with a plug becomes a something, a covered nothing, which makes it a something.
Would you want to tell your friends, "come on over and look at a bunch of nothings under my hood" or would you ask them, proudly, to "look at my somethings".
The plugs are there to make somethings out of nothings !

What size and brand...

I expected the next words in your post to be "...speedo do you recommend."

Great, something else I had to Google and now ... I must buy!

Even though I lived in Texas for 14 years, I don't remember seeing these. Since I like Butterfingers, I'm sure I'll love these!

That reply was really something Steve.

It was basically word salad but sadly I understood it.

Think of it this way.....
Would you want to buy a dozen "donut holes" which, in reality, would be nothing more than a dozen "nothings"...or would you rather buy a dozen "donut pieces" that were removed from the donuts to make a hole ?

 

[RedDakooter05]

I think it's a mix of 3/4" and 5/8" (probably actually 19 and 15 mm since they are a little loose fitting).

I was thinking of upping the size for both my hood and rocker panel holes, since they all do wiggle.

I can also see where the fluid film is kinda washing out.
