  1. Extended Length Rear Shocks after Leaf Spring Lift? Mine Aren’t (Eibach).

    I have Icon multi leafs on ā€˜stage 2’ (there’s an extra spring you can put on for more weight, lift, called ā€˜stage 3’). This gave me at least an inch, inch and a half rear lift. I have Eibach Pro Truck rear shocks, which I’m realizing (after many trips) only accommodate 1ā€ of lift. My Icons...
  2. New Driver Side Door Arm Rest Riser

    https://a.co/d/08WvUdVi $10, this thing mostly remedies a problem I have on long trips. The lower door armrest - the one with power window controls - is too low for me when my left hand is on the steering wheel. The top of the door panel, under the window, is too high. I end up going back and...
  3. Start-X Remote Start Kit. Installed, Works Great!

    I work from home and my truck often sits for a few days, long enough to enter a battery saver mode. This disables remote start via the Ford App, frustrating when it’s freezing outside and I can’t warm up the truck. Researched and settled on this. Start-X Remote Starter Kit for...
  4. Spare Protector - Underbody Spare Shield Install, Photos and Remarks.

    Seems there's exactly one company making an underbody spare tire shield, www.spareprotector.com. I bought off his ebay site, $135 (search underbody spare tire cover protector). The product is thick ABS plastic material that covers to the shoulder tread of a 32-33" tire. I wanted something that...
  5. Narrow Storage Ideas Along Bedside, Wheel Arch Area

    For road trips and camping, I've got a 12v fridge and Jackery on one side of the bed, Milwaukee packout drawers on other bins along the other side, of course gear stacked in the middle and on top of it all. Sorta matters, I've got a Snugtop Rebel canopy over my bed. There's a good 8-10" of...
  6. Adequacy of Factory FX4 Transfer Case Skid Plate?

    I'm considering an RCI 1/4" aluminum skid plate kit to replace the stock FX4 skid plates. The RCI motor skid is x2 piece and covers much further back from the factory FX4 front plate. Also looking at RCI transmission skid, a large rectangular piece. RCI also have and include in their full kit...
  7. 11 MPG over 100+ Miles in 4WD on White Rim Trail, Canyonlands Utah

    I'll share my surprising finding after completing the White Rim Trail in Canyonlands, Utah. I averaged a very low 11 MPG for this trip. Same truck, with all my gear and supplies, I was getting between 16 and 22 MPG between Washington State and Utah in 2WD. White Rim Trail is mostly bumpy, rocky...
  8. 2" Rear Sag with Full Camping Loadout, After Suspension Lift. Further Modify Rear Leaf Springs?

    Want to get the communities take and advice on addressing rear sag with full camp gear loadout. In short, my rear squats 2" when fully loaded with typical week+ camping gear. This provides a reverse 1" rake, or squat. I've got Icon multileaf springs on the rear, which I've configured as Option...
  9. PSA: LoStar Hitch Skid Doesn’t Fit Factory Hitch

    This hitch skid plate, https://a.co/d/dTndMUz Does not clear those two downward angled ā€˜wings’ below the receiver part of the factory hitch. Too bad, its a fairly inexpensive armor to reduce bumper damage coming off steps/shelfs or other departure obstacles. Hoping the hitch itself, if dragged...
  10. Which Facebook Ranger Page Doesn't Suck?

    I'm a member on a few of them, 99% of posts are pure vanity and aesthetics. I'm looking for outdoor activity, camping, offroad oriented focus. Suspension lifts, gear organization, maybe even towing/hauling, trip reports. Heck, even hunting, not that I'm a hunter but I'm more interested and would...
  11. DIY Canopy Shell Ceiling Net Storage Solution. Cheap, Easy.

    I’ve wanted a ceiling storage solution for jackets, shoes, etc. One option, sneaking in D rings to the Yakima roof tracks bottom nut connection, then connecting a cargo net. I had to remove one of these track bolts already for something else and I didn’t like ā€˜breaking the seal,’ so to speak...
  12. Eibach Pro Truck Stage 1 and Icon Multi-Rate Leaf. Preliminary Review

    2022 Crew Cab FX4 XLT. The Eibach Stage 1 kit starts at 3ā€ front lift and accommodates 1ā€ rear lift, which I achieved with Icon leafs set at Option 2 (inch of lift with ~350 pounds). Purchased and installed by Khaotic 4x4 in Tacoma WA. Great customer experience. No UCAs required, per email from...
  13. (UPDATE from EIBACH) Lots of Wrong Info Here re: Eibach Stage 1?

    UPDATE 3.11.24. Eibach responded to my email inquiry, if the Pro Truck Stage 1 suspension kit needs aftermarket UCAs to accommodate the front 3" lift. Their exact response, Typically at 3" of lift you are fine with the OE upper control arms. This shouldn't matter with either the Stage 1 or...
  14. Which Leaf Springs to Pair with Eibach Pro Truck 2.0 Kit for True Lift?

    I'm gravitating towards Eibach Pro Truck 2.0 for modest (2-3") lift, but Eibach offers no leaf springs to complete a lift kit. It is only a 'level,' and the rear shocks accommodate up to 1.5" lift. So, unless you just use Eibach rear block spacers (I'd rather not), one is left looking to other...

  16. PCM Detected Fuel Level Signal In/Out if Range??

    Only 4600+ miles on the odometer, I got a solid check engine light on the dash. Drove fine, shows 3/4 gas tank. My Ford Pass app explains the check engine light as: ā€œThe powertrain control module detected the fuel level signal repeatedly moved in and out of normal operating range.ā€ Then...
  17. Tip for Auxito Fog LED Install FX4

    Bought a yellow Auxito H11 led fog replacement bulb. I found but one or two install videos on YT, where they simply reached straight up behind the bumper to access the fog light. Not on an FX4 you can’t, I can confirm. Combo of bottom wind fairing and skid plate render access impossible. I...
  18. Why Does This Forum Drain iPhone Battery, Make Phone Hot?

    Title says it all. Have an iPhone 8, up to date on iOS. This site is an offender and not others. Always tons of pop up video ads every page I navigate to. Maybe that’s part of it?
  19. Horizontal Wheel Well Cutouts to Support a Small Platform, Ply over Two Boards?

    Looking to make a little riser across the wheel wells. Not the whole bed length or area. The wheel wells have cutout-like depressions that start on the horizontal plane, atop the wheel well, but then follow the curve to a vertical orientation. Know what I mean, right? Do you think two pieces of...
  20. Thinking About a Shelf Across my Canopy.. How to Secure to Area Above Bedrail?

    If you have a truck canopy, you know there's that horizontal section that mates with your truck bed rails across the front and sides. I'm thinking about a lightweight shelf that spans the width of the truck bed, where the ends rest on that flat piece of canopy atop the bedrails. Shelf would...
