Bought my 2023 Ranger used, with 3,000 miles. It was like new, clean history, and stock. Was managing 21 MPG (highway)
17 in town. It was bad stock. Don't know how you guys managed more than that.
I've done all the modifications to my truck.
Lowered it 2/4, put bigger tires 22x9, tuned it...
The wheels are flush to the body. If anything, there's a very slight tuck.
No poking whatsoever.
These wheels with the tire size I listed has the same diameter as the stock wheel/tire.
I'd personally recommend going with 22s.
The 20s are a bit small IMO.
On page 3 you can see my truck when I...
Thanks Vrapnyc!!
I dropped the Ranger with the Belltech 1044SP kit. I opted for the 2/4 drop.
The wheels are Chevy 'Honeycomb' Replicas.
Bought them from Factory Reproductions.
They're 22x9 with +31mm offset.
No spacers.
Only thing is that Chevy's have 78.1mm hub bore, so I had to take the...
I had a shop install my lowering kit, Belltech 1044SP With a 2/4 drop. Expect to pay approximately $1,000 for the install and alignment.
Mind you, although my truck is lowered, my rear end is still slightly raised compared to the front, so I can still tow.
Pretty much done on the outside. All that's left really is installing the Aussie subwoofer box with a slim 10" sub.
Leaning more towards a JL sub and Amp ranging anywhere from 600-1000 watts.
And then, it'll be complete.
Good point.
I'll have to swing by a shop and see what I can do. Now I'm curious if a resonator would be enough to tone it down a bit and cancel the drone, or get a muffler and quiet it down some more.
Hey everyone,
Been a while, but I finally did it.
I had bought the Belltech lowering kit 1044SP. Had a shop do the install.
I also bought a CVF high flow down pipe.
I wish I would've lowered it sooner.
Man, does this thing look mean, and it handles IMO better than stock. And the rear end is...
I am noticing similar issues in my 2023 Ford Ranger. I have slight discoloration in different areas though.
It appears that the plastics don't have a protective coating of the sort, and any contamination, oil, makeup, or small abrasion will mark the plastics, especially high contact areas.
I do...
I remember reading about your build. Very impressive, and very rich for my blood.
But without a doubt, one of the best custom setups. If you remember me, both my mom and wife survived the treatments so far.
Both are recovering.
Starting to get back into the game slowly. Need to finish up some...
So you never had any vibrations, at any speed? That's remarkable if you didn't!
I was under the impression that any changes to suspension would affect angling and geometry. Perhaps it does and it's minimal, and not really noticeable.
Good morning everyone,
I am in the very slow process of building up my 2023 Ford Ranger Crew Cab RWD XLT into a Saleen version.
I wanted to lower the Ranger 2 inches in the front and 4 in the rear. I intend on using a Belltech lowering kit, using adjustable Coilovers in the front with SPC...
Yes, thank you for the heads up. I wasn't sure if it was a scam or not, so I didn't want to put him on blast until I could confirm.
There was another member who reached out to me directly and mentioned they got burned by him. I've also been just lurking ever since my wife and mom got sick. I...
I wanted to thank everyone who pitched in with the great ideas, and prayers for my family. If anyone ever finds their way down near the border in Texas, we'll get some drinks and tacos.
That's actually a very good idea. It's a more, sophisticated and advanced approach than I had. Now I'll have to pony up the cash to buy one, ?
Surely I can use it on other projects around the home. Thanks for the prayers, shovelhd.
Thanks MXGOLF for the compliment amd prayers. You're right, family will always come first. I'll try my best to complete this project with my wife's help whenever possible, so I'll always have some part of her with me.
