I have used my Ford Pass points for my 1st 2 oil changes....I bought my tires from a small tire shop that included lifetime free rotations..... , a little over 9K miles on the truck and have rotated and rebalanced tires twice....I am almost 65 yrs old and have done all the suspension, leaf...

I would like to add my 2cents to the conversation...... My 2021 was experiencing carrier bearing failure at 8,400 miles....the whistle/ squeal.....not wanting to wait for the dealer to look at it and most likely deny warranty replacement becuase of all the lift and suspension mods I have...

I have seen it ,but it was done on a custom fabricated long travel linked suspension with an extra long King custom built shock/ spring....full race...

Just a little bit of clarification...shocks or struts surrounded by a spring are referred to as Coilovers ( what you have on the front)......what you have on the rear. we call shocks with dust boots...?.....I like what you have done sensible upgrades that will work well together....

The easy fix...route I would take.... Remove bolt from opposite side, drive to Ace hardware or Lowes , match size and thread pattern , pay the less than $1 , install and be done with it...

Assuming that you were asking about Bump Stops....I have the ICON universal foam bump stops....Frank at Stage3motorsports recommend these when using a longer stroke shock made to accommodate 1.0" lifts Also make sure you use the ICON hardware kit , longer, larger diameter U-bolts with top...

I have the ICON spring pack installed as shipped / option 1 / six leaves .... with a full tank of gas , and about 100 lbs of tonneau cover and swing box full of tools, they added .75" of lift....it takes about 300 lbs in the bed to get them to the published 3/8" of lift height...with my 3.0"...

Vibration most likely a drive shaft angles problem...pinon to carrier bearing out of phase.... shimming to get the angles right is hit or miss.... usually will take several tries to get right...good luck....

I have stock length LCA , and the APG Billet UCA. and Billet tie rod end with Heim joint... no binding on the shock, Before the tie rod replacement it appeared the stock ball joint end was maxed out and binding at full droop.. At this point only thing limiting more travel would be the sway bar...

Any concerns with the extra droop causing any problems with CV joint operating at the increased angle, or binding on a ball joint tie rod end? I'm running an extended travel ICON and APG setup with a Heim joint tie rod end (greater range of motion) ......would a limiter strap be necessary...

I saw 17° while roosting a dune, I had a lot of speed and centrical force at the Apex where I still felt comfortable.. Had I lost lost my momentum and come to a stop it would of been a different story... .

Was that during your sway bar delete period ? .... You can get away with no sway bar if you are running a good firm digressive system.....no bueno, with a soft linear or progressive shock and strut..?

In my opinion a good after market leaf spring will do more to improve the ride using almost any shock, while using a Top shelf $$$$ shock with the Ranger stock mono leaf will not perform as designed.... best of both , is a leaf and shock system designed to work together, and complement each...

Update for the last couple mods I did back in April before celebrating 2 years of ownership.... Tom Woods 1 piece drive shaft. I also added a 5° shim to get the Pinion angle to 0.4° lower than the transfer case output flange, to allow for axle wrap.... I did it because the stock 2 pc. was...

I have the ICON leaf pack....added 1.0" height, installed as shipped, without swapping in or adding the extra leaf.. I went head first down the rabbit hole, Front and rear ICON 2.5 adjustable valve, remote reservoirs, ext travel all around...Firm ride, corners flat ..Not for everyone, but I like...

I think to be " level " one would also have to adress the "Ranger lean " ?

The Tremor has a CV joint on their drive shaft....yokes are differnt....Tom Woods doesn't make a drive shaft for the Tremor.... the people that need and see the most improvement in vibration using the Woods one piece , are the XLT guys that the have lifted the rear with aftermarket leaf packs...

I have Cooper Rugged Trek XL rated , reinforced sidewall, 255 / 70 / R18 , on my truck....I have a little over 2 years , almost 10, 000 miles on them.... Chalk tested , 30 psi front , 28 rear, with about 150 lbs in bed.....I keep them at 32 front 30 rear....I will air down to 16 lbs sand , 18...

Critical speed is calculated by shaft RPM....tire size and gear ratio are the variables....there is a calculater on the Tom Woods site...some that have run their numbers say the 1 piece is good for 100+....90 is all I need....If I want to go fast I will get in my mid life crisis car Mazda RX8...
