Selling a set of 4 Lariat 18 inch wheels. They were used for about 25,000 miles and have some nicks and scratches on them from use and storage. Can ship them on your dime, since I've saved the boxes from my aftermarket wheels. No TPMS sensors included.
Asking $250 plus shipping
Will accept...
I bought Fabtechs 3.5" lift kit but I already had the 1" Eibach blocks installed on my truck. Liked how the truck sat, so I never installed these. New set of 1.5" blocks with new ubolts (and nesseary hardware & instructions).
Asking $80 plus shipping
Will accept PayPal and ship USPS Priority...
I bought them for my BFG A/2 KO's. Worth it in the long run for expensive tires. Working as a construction fleet mechanic, I see a lot of unrepaiable sidewall punctures, blowouts, and slipped belts. I think $20-35 per tire with worth the peace of mind, rather than having to buy another $250+...
Dropping the LCA is waaaaaay easier than the other way around. Working as a mechanic by day.... you learn to step.back from a job for 15 minutes and think "How can I make this easier on myself."
You are welcome. If you absolutely need the truck.... you'd be surprised what pops up on sites such as LKQ and so on. I CANNOT wait in my industry, probably wouldn't be in the position if I did wait souly on Ford.
Just a little insight, may not help you specifically MIBuckeye
I manage a Construction Fleet of about 45 3/4 ton and above Ford Trucks and Vans (and a handful of GM and International Diesels). On top of that 100's of pieces of machinery as well. You have to get creative to find parts in the...
Can't tell you for sure or know what wheels you're looking at specifically. I DO know for a fact that I've seen guys run Tacoma 16" steel wheels though. They are more around 30mm of offset (I think) but they will get you I little wider stance, than the OEM 16" Ford steelies. I run 16x8 0mm...
Rubbing on my setup is very minimal, after the installation of the offset intrusion beams. No trimming was done, just want to put that out there for RJ (not trying to argue). Minor audible noise from tire rub but not enough to damage the tire or anything it comes into contact with. Anything...
They should work just fine. The tire size you plan on wanting to go with will determine how much drama you'll have to go though. I'm running 16x8, 0mm offset, 285/75R16's, with 2.25" of front lift. Also paired along with Fabtech UCA's and Fabtech offset incursion beams, I have minor rubbing...
I use a Hypertech Speedometer Programmer (used of off eBay for $100) on my '19 with 285/75R16's. Pretty easy to use and reverts back to stock quickly, if needed. Would use ForScan as stated above but my laptop is an Apple (not supported). This was the most cost effective route in my scenario.
I do not disconnect or loosen anything either, besides the tabs to open the box of course. Not knocking anyone's technique, just learned the ways of the gun as a professional mechanic. You get the feel for when further disassembly is essential.
I have a set of Bushwackers on my SuperCab and they have been holding up great. Bought mine on Amazon, deep discount as an open box return. Install requires some patience but yup and "massage" and work the adhesive tape a bit, to get them to fit flush.
Sweet! I was wondering if it would load up those fasteners on the diff cover. Might pull the trigger on one of these, if I find myself hitting trail a lot this year. Thanks for sharing.
22mpg's on 33's and 93 octane. I have a 60 mile round trip commute 5 days a week. Big thing to getting good gas millage with a turbo vehicle, is to only rely on the turbo when you really need it..... aka Take it easy on the skinny pedal.
I've had good luck with Goo Gone for removing debris, like pine pitch. Give it a good quick hand wash and then work on removing the pitch, to help prevent grinding road grime into your paint.
None that I've seen yet. I think the Ranger is still in the "Honeymoon" period with serious aftermarket drivetrain upgrades like this. Maybe in the next few years as folks figure out the weak points of these trucks.
Finally pulled the trigger on moving into some larger tires with more sidewall. BFG A/T KO2's on 16x8 KMC XD122 0mm offset. Running Fabtech UCA's and Fabtech Offset Crashbars. Mostly rubbing on the front air dams and slight rubbing on the mud flaps.
Crawled under our new F-550 with the new 7.3L gasser and HD 10 Speed..... No Aux cooler (just a smaller coolant/atf cooler mounted kinda like the F-150's). My assumption would be that Ford is relying more on the vast array of available gears and locking up the torque converter as much as...
