Update to my previous posts ; I installed the Woods one peice, shimmed the Pinion angle to get the difference in flange angles within 4° of each other.....Huge difference at highway speeds....what I perceived to be vibration caused by my offroad tires is gone.....truck feels more lively , like...

I'm running the ICON 2.5 EXT travel coilovers up front, APG Billet UCA's and Tie rod ends with the Heim joints. 3.0" lift...No Diff drop.... I knew going in that the CV axle life would be shortened operating at the angles we are running.....Do I recall you had disconnected your front sway bar at...

I installed a Tom Woods one piece drive shaft on my 2021 Ford Ranger Took it for a test drive.... big difference In highway speed vibration...no more worries about my Carrier Bearing which had begun to fail....?....

I was just trying to maximize the life of the U-,joints ...I read some where that that the operational range is up to 15°...My plan is set the rear static pinion angle 1° lower than the front flange and to give the diff angle room to tilt and match the front under a load or acceleration, (the...

Tom Woods one piece on it's way.... Yesterday my carrier bearing made the whistle/ squeal sound of failing.... So, I quit dithering, got my butt under the the truck , took measurements and placed my order...I have done some substantial mods to my suspension and I didn't want to wait for the...

I will be ordering one too.....I just need to get under the truck and measure length and Pinon flange angle..... (something I forgot to do after ater my last lift adjustments going 1/2" higher in Coilover , 1"" higher in rear with the ICON leaf springs......want to know going in what to expect...

Great, start.... Really like grocery list on the rocker panel.....I've done the same to mine....looks like we both still have room for lot's more mods....??

The Punnisher Decals require $7K in full suspension make over to mid travel 2.5 adjustable, remote reservoirs, Billet UCA 's , Billet tie rod ends, and progressive leaf spring pack with the shorter bump stops..

I run with an unconventional alignment setup, here are the reasons why. I also own a Mazda RX8 one of the best cornering vehicles for less than $100K ever made. It come factory stock with 6.0+ of Castor,and .4+ of camber and 0° toe... While 0° is best for tire life it also is "twitchy" . Racers...

Yes....that would be it...except I'm a skinny 64 year old man, working on a outdoor concrete parking slab, off jack stands, with all the cheater extensions and helper tools in my arsenal to make up for my weak , frail physique..???...

Not a step by step just a list of the nuts and bolts for the LCA drop method...I'm not able to post a direct link to my post,... but it can be found in 5G Forum Suspension/ Chassis .thread titled "Labor Shop Time for Shock/Strut Installation 2019 4x4 Lariat"...thread started by Progeny2021...

I was lucky on my first coilover swap, doing the Ford Tech manual ( your way) method . When I got to the prying down on the LCA to get the strut studs on the stock FX4 to clear, I got uncomfortable leaning on a 4 ft Pry bar. So I used a cut off wheel to cut the studs off flush with the bottom of...

I have a tactical LED flashlight with glass breaker and seat belt cutter in my center console box...and Auto/Marine canister extinguisher mounted in the truck bed. ...also keep a mid length handle , full size serrated blade shovel (Kobalt from Lowes) good for grass fires, mounted in the truck...

I have the ICON universal foam Bump Stops that Frank at Stage3 recommended when I purchased the ICON progressive leaf pack..? Edit: I'm very familiar with the Octillo area, way too many rules and Park Rangers enforcing them.. Good for the beginners....Superstition is where the big boys go to...

At lower speeds ( rocks) I leave them in my every day street setting, 2 in the front, 4 rear...After a few pre-runs thru sandy whoops and moguls to make sure there were no square holes "witches eyes" in the way , I have wicked them up to level 8 and done a few 60+ mph " bombing runs" in the...

Other than the poke, I like the rest of what you have done ... The ICON 2.5 CDCV coilovers , Deaver rear leaf springs with ICON 2.5 CDCV rear piggybacks?...The new generation hybrid MT / AT tires are a really good choice... I'm running similar set-up .... The ICON 2.5 CDCV front and rear...

I have done Front coilover replacements 3 times....by myself with no help ...First time using the Ford Tech manual method, disconnecting everything to get the spindle out of the way for access to the coilover... And twice doing the disconnect the LCA from the frame method.... by far the easier...

I did not measure before and after to give you a "how much number".... Before installing the ICON spring pack my floor jack would lift lift rear enough to get tire off the ground..after install, I had to add wood block to get tire off the ground.. So I did get more down travel/ droop with the...
