Route 78 East , newer civic si intentionally driving slow in the left lane with the right lane blocked by semi. As we slowly pass the semi I shift into s mode and downshift to bring rpm up to 3700 rpm. As I change to the right lane the civic si speeds up. Imagine the look of horror and...

Weight helps, match blizzaks Tough to match, unless you have tire that is known to perform well in snow or snow tire., that includes braking in snow.. your truck will perform well enough to compare to awd. But if I plan on going ice racing then I would rather be in a awd vehicle w/ center...

The kit is adjustable but the instructions says not to adjust, I didn’t wAnt to mess w/ preload. Leveling kits are not for everyone, if you haul a lot of weight often, don’t level. I’m thinking of adding a 1 inch block to the rear to unlevel my level lol. I was on the FDR the other night and...

yup got the same issue, I thought they were being offered in two colors, summit racing has a pretty good price for the set

Do the ranger raptor wheels color match the paint on the bumper, from all the pictures I see of the ranger raptor wheels I can’t tell how dark they are?

I wonder if the European model rangers have the same shocks, might be a stupid generalization but I feel European vehicle suspensions are generally stiffer / sportier.

I have no issue with my dealer doing the oil change, but last time I went I bought mud flaps and asked what it would cost to put on, I was shocked when they told me the price. Whatever the expected time to complete the work in the system was ridiculous.

I understand not modifying a daily driver , maybe down the road consider replacing the shocks and front spring you will be pleasantly surprised, the fox ford suspension stiffens up the ride and when you hit potholes the suspension resists getting all squirrelly. I personally like stiffer...

I don’t think anyone’s going expectation is their ranger to handle like a unibody vehicle. Physics are physics, Solid axles are solid axles. I once had to drive a Pt Cruiser in ATL because that was all the rental facility had. I can say my frame over ranger handles better than the neon based...

Never personally owned a Volvo, I remember when ford owned part of Volvo, or whole idk , partnership? Ford took the awd system from Volvo and used it in blue oval vehicles. I don’t like to bring up the fact that Ford was also involved with jaguar. Jaguars today seem cheaply built but they...

3 liter turbo.. nice , my friend as a 2 year old Volvo wagon that I love the way it looks,. Weird, never really considered Volvo for looks

When I first read this thread I did the same thing, but that is forums for ya. Never take anything personally, it is the internet, “The Internet is a communication tool used the world over where people can come together to bitch about movies and share pornography with one another”. Jay and...

I have lusted over many European station wagons, never had the cash to own one, settled on Subaru wagons. I mainly drive wagons or rangers. The amount of money I spent on my forester xt With a built motor running 25psi of boost , I could have probably had a nice European wagon. Someday a 3...

Just wondering , do the newer allroads still have adjustable bag suspensions like the older all roads that always failed, or did Audi get there shit together, . My friend has a shop where he saw more than one allroad “lowered“ (adjustable suspension failed” and the owners heart sink when they...

Kudos to you I could never stomach drive a nice car into the city everyday, but 5gen ranger is a great ride for the city small , nimble and plenty of torque to blow Gypsy cabs off the line

I agree but I don’t think anyone in this thread falls into this category. This is more a, “I have been driving a car/suv now I have a ranger why does the suspension suck?” My opinion it sucked before the swap, but I’m a suspension snob who always likes to tinker and improve my suspension. My...

Driving on the Brooklyn queens expressway or any of the five Boros requires a stadium truck suspension which sucks up large yes large potholes , still brakes and corners..

People are shady, machines are sketchy, or if you are a cyborg from Florida you are both sketchy and shady.

Were they high? Lol , or driving on the salt flats to burning man. messing around , my son got motion sickness driving on the Brooklyn queen’s expressway. Fox ford suspension reduced the constant jerky sway motion of the fx4 suspension by being stiffer. Front end link upgrade settled down sway...

I can see myself starting this thread, so I would like to “defend” , or agree with the original post, Also I think 5g rangers suspension stock leave room for improvement but the great thing is suspensions can be swapped easily, swapping in a turbo motor and a ten speed automatic is a little...
