I donāt have the answers youāre looking for but Iāve been thinking about the same questions. Iām not interested in running 91 all the time but wouldnāt mind a little more power and maybe even better fuel mileage. Hopefully bumping this back to the top will get some answers!
I have the BL-5000SLX and Iām very happy with it. I havenāt used it on my Ranger yet but I donāt see why it wouldnāt lift it. I would have bought the 7000 but found a deal on the 5000 about two years ago that I couldnāt pass up.
Iāve lifted a Tacoma, Mazda3, Escape, Colorado, and Caliber...
No issues with mine and I did the same with my Eibach install. I tightened it fairly tight with my regular ratchet then was able to finish it with one smooth movement with my torque wrench. My wife held her foot on the brake while I tightened with the wheel off.
