I was just looking at tires for my truck. If you're not too picky, and with some patience and luck, you might be able find some new to low-mileage bronco take-offs. Look for the Sasquatch (35") or Badlands (33"). The wheels look pretty good and you can get a full-size spare. The badlands...
Yup, that's the one. I just flipped mine upside down where the nub sat in the one of the holes on the pad. Then I used a spacer on the bolt holding the spring pack together so the head still sat in the recessed spot. No grinding needed.
Well, I installed the OME kit this weekend. Will drive it tomorrow and see how it shakes out. A couple of lessons learned:
much more work than the fox would have been
The auto shop rental coil compressors didn’t fit the OME coils - I uninstalled and had to utilize a friend with access to a...
Can confirm this is the medium load. I installed the Ford Performance OME kit this weekend.
Here was ARB’s answer when I asked for advice:
“OMERNGR19SLMK was superseded to RNGR19LK. That would utilize medium load front coils (good for bumper weight) and medium rear leafs (good for stock to...
Finished installing the Ford Performance OME lift from over the weekend. I’ll admit, it was a total pain, but my quick test drive seems nicer than stock FX4. Now just waiting for tires to come in so I can mount all new tires and wheels.
Just finished installing the ford performance OME kit this weekend. Mine were at about 37k miles off-roading, street, and towing, and starting to show small signs of leaking. I got a labor quote from a CA ford dealer for $1000 to install fix kit and align.
Doing it myself wasn’t fun, but just...
I’ve definitely thought about it. The Ranger has handled it well, except for the angle. I was never excited to spend the money and add the weight/complexity. That’s why the OME caught my eye - deal with squat, improve ride, and clear larger tires.
This picture is a bit far away, but you can see how it sits with the trailer I have. I’m happy to hear positive things about both. Maybe it just comes down to which I want to install because price isn’t that far off.
Thanks @Frenchy - that might have to be a future upgrade because the price of tires and lift was already stretching my budget. I’ll look into the Dobinsons.
@RangerPNW what kind of tongue weight to have and is the squat noticeable with Fox? I don’t like to tow at night because with the squat...
Ok folks, I finally killed a Dynapro on a trail so I’m upgrading my suspension and tires. Right now, there is a good coupon on Ford accessories so here’s the question - do I get the Ford Performance OME overlanding suspension or the Fox leveling kit?
My use is daily driver, towing travel...
I'm sure glad I found this thread. I recently was towing and had some errors and shuddering when the truck pulled power. Called the dealer and it seemed like it could be a normal thing when using cruise control because it reset itself and I proceeded on the trip without issue. Lately, it felt...
Enjoyed this camp spot near Lone Pine, CA at the base of the eastern Sierra Nevada. Unfortunately, a sharp rock in the Alabama Hills finally killed one of my stock Hankooks.
We love it. It has a lot of creature comforts, but compact enough that we can go into a lot of regular campsites outside of the RV parks. It came standard with things that you'd probably want to upgrade/add anyway and we've had almost no issues mechanically/cosmetically for taking it out almost...
I agree with most others and think the truck has it figured out. I don’t always use tow mode when I’m going up, but it works great going down.
Lower RPMs seem to control the temp best if you’re really pushing it like I did when I found the load conditions that made an apparent difference...
I showed my wife the thread and she wanted to add two more she had haha.
These are of our actual camp at Red Rock and ready to go outside Eureka in redwoods.
