Ah, I see. Thanks for pulling yours out to check! I was afraid it wasn't a symmetrical hole.

So I've run Bilstein 5200s in my previous trucks (F150, Ram 2500, Titan). They made a big difference in ride - in all cases a more controlled compression stroke and a much better rebound. I only have a few km on the Eibachs, but initially the feel is very similar to the Bilsteins. A more...

The 60 psi gauge is $49.95C on amazon.ca, $19.90US plus $7.18US shipping on amazon.com, which works out to about $36C. I always cross-check and calculate the exchange rate before I order. About half the time I end up ordering on amazon.com. Having said that, the AstroAl 60 psi gauge, which...

Stock 2 1/2" level with Eibach struts; stock wheels and tires Leveled with 275/70R18 Falken Wildpeak A/T 3W tires on stock wheels with 1" spacers

Oh, I also got the Go Rhino DSS side rails installed. Mounted them high, to help cover the gap between the pinch weld and the rails, which I strongly dislike (the gap, I mean). They are also close to the body, close enough and high enough to not work as steps. My purpose is mainly to protect the...

Eibachs installed! The front end is now 1/2" lower than the back. Next will be the Falken Wildpeaks!

Found these waiting patiently on the porch for me yesterday. Installed the rear shocks yesterday afternoon... Struts went in today. I decided to drop the lower a-arm instead of banging the knuckle off. The right side was a bit of a wrestling match, took about 2 hours to get it. Left side...

Warmed up enough for me to install the Aeroskin hood protector. Unibrow! I'll get better pix tomorrow in full sunlight. Also installed the Go Rhino step bars, but it was in the dark, so pix in the morning...

Got the 1" spacers installed. Tires still under the fenders - barely. I'm going up to 275's soon, so they'll likely poke out a bit more. After: Before:

Ok, now I need a damn Ray-gun!!!!

The stock FX4 shocks are valved on the soft side, which makes the truck feel sort of "wallowy", for lack of a better word. I've used Bilstein 5200s on several previous trucks and love them. They are a little stiffer, giving a better, more controlled feeling, especially on the rebound. This...

The Ranger has a single-leaf rear spring on each side. The only way I can think of to lower the back would be to get different shackles. I've seen a few lowered, but I don't know how it's done. I'm one of those lifted guys. I work off road on pipeline construction, so I need the clearance. Sorry!

I know it's not sexy at all, but I just use a rachet strap. I wrap a couple or three winds around my shovel and axe handles, with the strap hooks in the front and rear tie down loops. I do like KnightRanger's system, though! (The fire extinguisher carrier is bolted to a sheet of 5/8 ply...

TechnicallyReal, thanks for your response! As far as #4, the bright indicator light, it doesn't dim with the dash lights. It looks more like a warning light than an information light. It would be smarter if it was part of the led display, like the 4H/4L information lights...

I didn't use a WDH, although I do have one set up for my Ram 2500 pulling my 10,000 travel trailer, so I do have experience with them. For my use with my utility trailer I don't think I'll use the WDH, but it would have easily leveled my truck. I will install either air bags (I've had them on...

And for the record, I do consider mounting the trailer plug upside down a major miss... ??? ???

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Some of you have made some assumptions that are not accurate - the basic failing of making assumptions. I don't pull trailers every day, but with a 7500 pound "best in class" towing capacity, I will utilize that part of the design from time to time. This trip...

Just finished a 2200 km round trip towing a 6x12 dual axle enclosed utility trailer (GVW 7,000 pounds), and before I go to bed I wanted to pick a few bones with Ford about my Ranger trailering experience. For the record, I'm driving a 2020 Lariat FX4 with the trailer towing package. Here's the...

Color match is good, I did a two stage job, color and clear. The platinum pearl white is a three stage process, my truck is oxford white. I have the magnetic color painted grill, so the sanding was pretty easy. I wet sanded with 600 grit sandpaper, made sure every tiny corner was scuffed, then...

Cable hits mounting bracket, gets pushed into box when tailgate is closed... Added a bit of gorilla tape to make a ramp that guides the cable aside, problem (inelegantly) solved! (I may pull the bracket and subject it to some strategic grinding, followed by a bit of white paint...)
