I was really interested in getting one of these until I realized that it would be worthless with the tailgate down, if it came out on the side (in the rear), it would be great.
Nope, The mechanic who they give it to has no fu#ks to give about it and the service manager practices no oversight. I have one more

If you're referring to the harshness of the ride, a new set of tires might do the trick, I installed a set of Kumho Crugen HT51 's and saw a large improvement in the harshness of the ride; it's hard to beat the price on these tires also. (make sure you get the 110 load rating)

I almost ordered these a while back because I too need some tie downs up high https://www.amazon.com/Bully-WTD-823-Clamp-Pair/dp/B0002MBBIQ, but upon measuring, it seamed there was not enough lip on the ranger bed rails to support these; has anyone ordered these and found that they do indeed work ?
