I went from the 265/65-17 that with cruise set @ 50 mph on the digital readout, 48 on the analog speedometer and 49-50 on my gps app. Now with 265/70-17 tires cruise set @ 50 mph on the digital, 49 on the speedometer and 50-51 on my gps app. Not worth the bother to me....
Thanks for the link. Never saw that before. Interesting that it is recommending 28 psi for my new 265/70-17 tires. I doubt I'll go below 30 psi. I did enter a previous swap I did on an F-150, going from 275/65-18 SL to LT275/70-18 "E" and it recommended 45 psi vs the stock 35 psi. I chalk tested...
Yeah you are correct, I edited my post. I was trying to say what you said, but explained it wrong. Thanks for setting me straight! BowWow had explained it well, but IMHO went a little off course in his explanation. If pre load is increased drastically it could take too much vehicle weight off...
Anybody install with before and after measurements? My kit arrived today from Stage3 (Very fast!!) and I'm thinking perch #3 for a 1.2" advertised (generic) lift, but wanted to see if anyone actually can confirm lift on the Ranger since Bilstein gives a generic "average" estimate.
General is running the $100 off again until 10/31/20. I went ahead and made the plunge and ordered 265/70-17 non LT. I felt like 14/32 vs 16/32 was not enough to justify the slightly harsher ride and extra 10 lb per tire to go LT. I ordered thru Tire America who had an additional 10% ($62) off...
Just ordered Grabber ATX in the 265/70-17 and dang, I can't decide on letters out or in. Looking at pics, certain tires like the BFG look better out to me and I'm usually a white letters out, but I'm thinking I like the Generals better with black walls. :facepalm:
2020 Ranger features. Parabolic Springs
Ranger Tremor "A multi-leaf rear spring setup enables increased wheel travel. Anti-roll bar stiffness has been reduced to minimize disruption over rough terrain and improve comfort off-road."
They pretty much contradict themselves......?
As far as white letter tires go, the KO's look the best IMO, but if you're going black side out, I personally think the Generals look as good or better and are slightly better than a KO2 for snow with more siping.
The FX4 Tires and Shocks are not even comparable. But, after looking at the order guide posted thread, it says Tremor is available with the XLT 301A (Sport). So I read that as you pay the $1,670 301A Sport option and the Tremor's $4,290 option is basically it's own package, taking the place of...
I thought this too initially, but after looking at it, it's not that bad. You get the Sport Package $1,670 (for 2020) and FX4 $1,295 (for 2020). So you are adding the shocks, tires, switches, side steps and rear springs for about $1,400. That's not unbearable. I agree the graphics are, well, not...
Just ordered my Penda finally. Tailgate cover is on back order so it's supposed to be a few weeks. My plan is to Raptor Line the bed at some point down the road (if I decide to keep the truck past 3 years old) and reinstall the penda over it. I really like the durability of the plastic drop ins...
I have been wondering about this kit also. I am a Bilstein fan. I am shooting for a spring suspension and tire upgrade. Obviously the Eibach get great reviews too. Price point is similar. I'll likely go with whatever I get the best deal on, probably splitting hairs otherwise.
I run house brand full synthetic 5w30 oil (So far just the Rural King) with FL-400S filter. Going to be changing the diffs this fall. I will go with a synthetic 75-90, brand is not of importance to me there either.
I agree that I don't mind paying a few extra bucks for a re branded part to say "Ford" on it. But, aren't the DeeZee and Ford "brand" dampers the same price? Right around $50? Making this whole post a moot point??
I bought some TYC 800151 from Rock Auto and they DO NOT FIT , not even close. I did some digging and found EcoGard XC35518C are activated carbon filter and are a direct fit. They are on Ebay for around $10-$15. They are slightly thicker than stock, but fit like a glove. They are for a 01-06...
Are the people having trouble using the Ford Sync site Ford Sync Update or are you guy's using the "perform at your own risk" method at beginning of the thread? Just curious....
I just updated our 2019 Edge and it's an updated 3.3 version. On a side note, after spending 1.5 hours in the truck, the new version I would say is more intuitive, but I kinda feel the BLUE screen doesn't match anything in my instrument cluster or interior lighting. Wish they'd have given some...
Okay, I used the help.ford.com/update-sync/usb/ and it went without a hitch. It said "your SYNC system will be updated to SYNC3 v3.4.43". After the update it shows 3.4.20136, climate controls and everything are there and working. I don't have nav on my XLT.
