I pulled a little overland trailer from Tucson To Austin Tx with 34" tires on my truck. I kind of like that the tranny dropped into 9th or 8th gear going upgrades (8th for passing uphill). On Flat stretches I was in 10th most of the time, purring like a kitten. I do have an Injen intake and a...
Sport Mode. You have MUCH more control over up and down shifting. Ya it will refuse to upshift until RMP are a little hier, but you can get a feel for it and time your shifts.
Manually shifting with the 10 speed auto (Sport Mode) , humping with a light overland trailer up and down a steep winding mountain grade on dirt, gravel and some bigger rocks, 4Lo was a blast! I doubt I topped 35mph but I was able to control ground speed, RPM, and boost very nicely. 3.5" BDS...
It is an up-grade to the ranger on which Roush and dealer make big margin for a little gain. LEather seats, Leveling kit to raise the front and make truck level / eliminate rake. Cat-back exhaust upgrade, slightly larger tires and wheels. DIY, save a TON, and get better performance. Injen air...
They built the truck around the crash bars. It is a PITA to get them out. They pay the shop guy $15 or $20 an hour for 2 hours labor, the bosses pay the rent, tool costs, utilities and make their boat payment with the rest. I got mine off w/ a 5" angle grinder $130 @ Lowes...
3.5 " BDS Lift with new UCA's and 295/70-17"s with 1.25" Spacers, zero rub, full compression, and droop, lock to lock . I suspect my truck is built as good as the Roush. CrewCab Fx4, Injen intake and Flowmaster exhaust, wrapped stem to stern with Fiberglass. Muffler delete. Well under...
I like the softer ride. I'd rather the truck soak the bumps than my spine. That said I did install the BDS 3.5" lift on my CrewCab Fx. It still rides fine w/ the new BDS Shocks on the rear
I self installed a Flowmaster Catback exhaust. VERY doable if you know how to work a wrench. I love it. I cannot imagine there will be ANY reliability issues. Some might say the decreased back pressure can be hard on the exhaust valves / engine. These are turbocharged motors, so the turbine...
Consider a shackle lift instead of blocks. This will reduce axle wind / hop. Axle wind is induced by blocks as they give the winding action of the axle under acceleration more leverage to twist the spring. Here is a set of shackle lifts from BDS: https://www.jackit.com/bds-123109.html I have...

I would lift the rear @ the differential as Hi as possible (https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/center-jack-points.10268/#post-204513) Yes I know, this could cause space time to collapse into a singularity and we would all die. In the process the axle might explode into millions of tiny...
