The rear axle won’t cause any issues with this. Unless the frame is bent or rear axle is seriously misaligned. The oem driveshaft has an allowance for balancing based on how much the oem bushing can absorb. All that absorption is a lack of efficiency. Im trying to find a happy medium between...

Yes get the fluid level checked asap. Do you have a temp gauge? The foaming over will happen at 240 plus degrees.

Go wiggle your stock driveshaft lol. There is no softer bushings unless you want to use a balloon. I was amazed by the movement. The softer bushing from JXB is substantially harder than stock. Overall driving experience is more solid but smooth. The street bushing was extremely solid...

Still can tickle 24 mpg with 127k. 4wd tuned leveled ect.

Maybe he just used him damper for so long it impacted his long term memory.

Did you do before and after 60-0 stop tests? Just curious I like stats.

To be fair all fords had a damper on their tailgates since about 04-05 depending on when that model got redesigned. It was a torsion rod in the tailgate. You just couldn’t see it. But when they were broke on the superduty you really felt that sissy Howie Long step.

That’s a good idea. I did put 1000 miles on it in last 2 weeks. Might not be enough

If I recall the nut is captive. Undo the bolt.

The spacers made mine feel worse. I am not cutting holes in my bushing so I didn’t try it. I do want to try the street bushing on the bottom and the new bushing with holes on top. Give me a balance. Because with the new bushing there is some more play but far better than stock. I really...

Technically yes. You are supposed to shim the rear axle so the pinion faces slightly more up. But 1-3 inches is probably fine unless you experience shudder. Will your u joints fail at 150k instead of 175k? Maybe, or maybe not. The added shudder after lifting is the tell tale sign. You...

The newest transmission is butter smooth. My wife’s expedition has one that is 8 months old. Never felt a 10r80 this nice. Like they finally figured it out. Guess that means I might be looking at number 3 for the truck in the next 70k.

Ranger 7g will just be an update to the last gen f150.

Zero vibes now. Not as solid but I am a picky ass lol. Ran my idea for a more solid mount past them, ill see what they say.

Crunch fitness you say? More like Crunch fitness lambo under my truck.

I have 15 or so left. But covid rates were so low I went with a 78 month loan at 2.25%. Figured why not.

I have 5100s on the lowest setting other than stock. It is like 0.8” or something. If anything it improves the driveline angle by shifting weight backwards. I added a washer between the top isolation bushing and the cross member today. See pics. Less vibration. I will try their other...

I didn’t when I lubed the splines before winter. A ratchet and socket won’t fit but ratchet end wrenches do.

Not when you unbolt the driveshaft from the axle. Then you have freedom of movement. Rear end can stay on the ground as long as you can fit under the truck.

Ford F@&$ing Ranger?
