my tune just delivered and was able to get it scheduled to install this Monday. My local dealer has not done one before and seemed hesitant to do it so I sent the instructions and even a link to this thread so they could review. In the end they have me scheduled for Monday.
My question - is...
For me in order of importance
265/70/17 tires -looks
Level kit (front) - looks
Fox 2.0 rear shocks - ride improvement
1.5 wheel spacers -looks
Bed cover - security and looks
do the Fox 2.0 shocks install rod up shock body down or vice versa? in the picture it looks like it's rod down but on line it shows rod up and shock body down?
or does it matter?
on the interstate its a very comfortable ride but to me on city streets it bounces, swims, or rolls to much so after a couple of months I grew tired of the bouncy ride and this week replaced the rear shocks with the Fox 2 and could tell immediately it was a better ride for me, feels more stable...
I have a FX4 and agree on less than perfect roads the ride is soft and could be considered "rolly" or bouncy.
I believe Ford wanted to make the ride between a truck and a SUV, it is much softer than the F150 I traded in and on a long trip or on decent roads the ride is as good as my wife's...
100% get a spray in, I purchased the drop in and regret it.....makes the bed even smaller, tie down access is a pain, and also has everything sliding all over the place
about 2 weeks after my purchase I ordered the Ford drop in liner to provide some protection and also because there aren't any spray in liner company's in my small town.
I regret the purchase and am planning on taking it out and have the bed sprayed. My reasons are the bed is not big to begin...
while researching pro's and con's of spacers I read they could effect the turning radius...… I'm no engineer I was just asking because of what I read and I like the Ranger being so much easier to park than my F150 was
