Depends on your budget. I can attest that the ride got WAY better in the back when I went to ICON leaf springs with the FP Fox 2.0. Later on I ended up swapping to all ICON with about 70k miles on the Fox that had started to get bouncy. The stock progressive mono leaf is a neat design but it’s...

First I’ve heard of it. What was the nature of the failure? Low on oil is an absolute death knell for any motor, especially a boosted one. And low on oil doesn’t just happen on its own on a low mileage motor. Some major details are missing here.

Usually that indicates a blown head gasket, but that's from turbo Ford days of old. I've rarely (if ever?) heard of it in the ecoboost era.

I just finished upgrading my aged Fox 2.0 to a full ICON stage 6 kit. Lift is 2.5" front and maybe 1.0" rear. I think your Tremor just comes with Fox 2.0 from the factory so it should be compatible with everything else for the Ranger. Since you already have a leaf pack with the Tremor you'd...

Great write up, thanks! Installed the TowPro Elite v3 today in my 2019. For what it’s worth, my 3/2019 build had a blue wire.

Brakes are sooo easy to DIY. Watch youtube videos and save yourself a ton of money.

What tire size? Mine are 31.5” I have been wanting to go KO3 when my ATX wear out. I watched a few YouTube’s on the design and there are a ton of subtle improvements

2021 Clipper Express 9.0TD V-Trek Everything I need, and nothing I don't! Hauls super smooth and I got ~20mpg on the last 200 miles round trip in the mountains averaging probably 60mph. It's probably only 1700lbs or so fully loaded with gear and water tanks full.

I think that's a downgrade from the ATX. In general I don't think ATs do as well in water and hydroplaning. Get highway tires if you want that

Yep, you can tell when shocks are worn out because they will become bouncy and wallowy

Upgraded bump stops, when I upgraded my springs. I should have just kept the stock bump stops since I didn't really have to upgrade them and they are only utilized near full compression events, which is very rare. At 6 years old the bump stop bolts are a lost cause and WILL break, even with...

OME or ICON leafs will give you a better ride than the blocks did and get your rear lift back. What exhaust did you have put in that hits the leaf, or was it the wreck that ruined it?

Grabber ATX have been amazing in my opinion. Great traction on snow and off road, great durability, and low noise. That being said I think the KO3 is a newer/better design, whereas the ATX is better than a KO2. I am leaning toward KO3s when my ATX finish wearing out at the end of the summer...

Drove it off the lot 6 years ago and going stronger than ever

You should still be able to use the Ford performance tuning module to change the tire size, read codes, and view diagnostic data. If it’s worth it to you for that.

Try and find a set of Tremor springs then, I believe they are progressive and better than the mono leafs

Here are pictures of how jacked up my factory driver's side leaf was at 77k miles. My best guess is it got twisted out of whack while off roading (3-wheel event lifting a rear wheel?) and I never noticed. It still rode normal.

I am sitting at a 2" rake now with the 2.5" level and new ICON springs -- here are fender measurements to level ground -- 38" front / 40" rear on the passenger side 37.5" front / 39.5" rear on the driver's side (I did re-use the factory driver's leaf spacer) I am expecting the rear to settle...

They are not shot at 50k, they recommend rebuilding at 50k so you never have to experience degradation. My Fox 2.0 are at 75k and are still good. And yes, when a shock is truly blown it's easy to test and identify as such, they will leak fluid or be bouncy and no longer dampen.

I got my ICON rear leaf springs in today at the 3/8" rear lift configuration. They definitely ride better. The install was not bad with an extra set of hands from a buddy. The hardest/worst part was the first bump stop bolt broke off like others have been reporting. I will deal with that another...
