Thanks for suggestion, but I tried to get to the alignment shop to wiggle the Caster adjustment to allow the Camber more adjustment towards neutral, “Nope, can’t do it! We already experimented plenty and we can’t send you out on the road with anymore adjustment to the Caster, if you hit a large...

Finished my install. The BDS Nitro Series NX2 struts are now installed in the rear. I’m going to give the whole set-up a few hundred miles before I make final judgments. Initial impressions Around town on roads: The “bouncy” ride in the front has been significantly more stable while being...

Yes it is. And that’s what I want. Any kind of alloy rim with a finish on it will be destroyed by all the road grime. I looked to see if I could replace it with a steel 18” rim but no luck, so I’ll just stick with the 17” wheel and a full size tire. Since I went up in tire size and haven’t...

I’d really like to have the dark grey tip you have on your system.

It’s paid for and installed but I’m still waiting on the new maps from 5-star. The N-Gauge itself mounts nicely in the lower corner of the windshield. Not crazy about a big suction cup but it’s actually not that noticeable and will do nicely until a window pillar with a gauge pod is offered (if...

Finally took a couple pics today. Love the new stance. Looks like a true factory off-road machine now. It’s getting twice a many looks on the road as before.

Lariat with everything minus the spray-in bedliner and running boards. Running tally on upgrades so far: •ClearBra over entire front end plus mirrors and door edges •Front windows tinted to match rears •TGL hitch step (AKA the soccer mom mini van parking lot defender) •BDS 2” leveling kit...

Granted I received a pretty great deal on the truck from the dealer but by the time you add in: ClearBra, Tint, GFB DV+, Bed Lights, New Tires, BDS lift kit, Front-end alignment, 5-star N-Gauge Tuner, a Diamondback tonneau cover (if it ever comes available), and some kind of replacement...

I got the N-Gauge in a week or so ago and installed it today. I thought I would be able to download the stock map and email it to 5-star so I could get my performance maps the first day they were available, I was wrong. I’ve called them and verified that the N-Gauge won’t even recognize the ‘19...

About to install the remainder of the BDS 2” leveling kit, the rear struts. The BDS 10-stage hydraulic struts will hopefully quiet down the chatter in the rear. I am happy to report that the the front end is far less “bouncy” now with the preload spacers installed in the front struts, that was...

They offer a lot of flexibility for future upgrades, but not necessary in my case.

So I just got off the phone with Scott in Tech at ICON. He said undoubtedly that the tubular upper a-arms would remedy my situation, because the their a-arms specifically address the caster issue, which apparently causes you to chase your camber adjustment to the end of the Ranger’s adjustment...

Yeah maybe, let’s see what earsmccoy has to say since he might already have them.

Did you get the tubular a-arms or the billet adjustable? If you got the tubular, can you confirm they are shorter or perhaps engineered to kill the positive camber from the lift? I’d pay $800 for the tubular arms but $1355 for the billet is just ridiculous unless I plan on going crazy with the...

I reached out to ICON, they only sell the kits on their site. But as you can already tell, the individual pieces are available through dealers. First place I called was 4wheelparts and they wanted $1355 (with free shipping). I agree, that’s damn pricey.

The BDS kit didn’t come with alignment specs, but I did provide them with the Rough Country specs after they indicated they were having issues. This is a top-rated shop in the Colorado Springs for alignments on 4x4s, so my first inclination wouldn’t be to blame the shop. The BDS kit does...

I guess I can call to see if they’ll be piecing out their kits.

After completing my install of thr BDS 2” leveling kit and my alignment today I’m still left with .48 degrees of positive camber so I’m searching for solution. The guy at the alignment shop said my best bet would be an adjustable (or shorter) upper a-arm or more simply an adjustable upper ball...

And I posted this in another thread. I made a mistake regarding ordering tires. I ordered a set of 5 tires (275/65-18s) for my stock 18” wheels. And come to find out that the spare wheel is a 17”. Now I have to head back to the tire shop again and change out the spare tire with a 275/70-17. Very...

The guys at the alignment shop are already telling me that there isn’t enough adjustment to get my Ranger back to zero camber with the 2” BDS kit installed. They say it will still have a slight positive camber (1/2 degree postive). They said they wouldn’t be surprised if someone comes out with...
