I had to retire V1.0 The modified FX front shocks with RWD springs seated 1.25" lower than OEM worked well for the 2" drop I wanted, the FX shocks helped with the harsh ride, but just not enough. The rearched rear springs were still too stiff, and both actually broke at flaws in the steel...

About 25k on my re-arched springs, probably shouldn't have nursed it home. Guess it's time for plan "B", build some new, progressive rate multi leaf rears.

Given a choice, would you opt for Bilstein's B6 or Rancho's adjustable RS9000 for your Ranger? Like some here, I find the OEM FX rear shocks inadequate. Not bad for smooth highway driving, "not right" for anything else. I've installed a set of RS9000's on my lowered Ranger, looking to "fix"...

When I first bought my Lariat, the gauge pack was one of the few down-sides to the Lariat package in my eyes. I preferred the XLT pack, but wanting a number of the Lariat specific features, I thought to live with the original. With the APIM swapped out to add Navigation, I got the Nav screen...

I'm not entirely sure how, but my wife dropped a piece of non-magnetic jewelry down the dash vents under the windshield of her FX4. Short of pulling the dash out, any ideas on gaining access to the bottom of the air plenum?

Added power locks to my DiamondBack. Started with OEM Ford lever type lock actuators. Cut the rebound buffer out of the actuator so the lever would stay where it stopped rather than bounce back to its mid-point. Built a bracket for the actuator, added a couple op-rods and a turn crank to move...

Are the 4WD and FX4 rear springs the same? Amature poking around Ford Parts only shows two rear springs, RWD and 4WD yet shows 4 or 5 different front coil options. I've been surprised at the FX4 road manners and am curious if a set of FX4 rear springs would improve the harshness at the back of...

I know back in the PATS days, Forscan could be used to add new keys. I don't see the option on "modern" Fords in Forscan to add new FOB's, remotes, etc. I'd love to be able to cross program my fobs work with both my Rangers. Of course, what I'd really like to do is find a way to get...

Thought I'd give adding navigation a go. Having to tether with a USB cable to use Android Auto, and more often than not losing the paring with the phone was less than optimal. First poke around the 'net showed a couple $1000 options that were plug and play but to be honest, I thought too...

Any Forscan users out there with a 501a Lariat? Looking to import an "alien" APIM into my 2019 and I'm thinking using an existing As Built might be a good start.

I often carry an extension ladder, piping and conduit and other "long stuff" on my Ranger. At the same time, need the ability to open the front or rear covers on the tonneau. On my old '02, I adapted bits from both an Explorer and Windstar for a permanently installed solution. For my '19...

I think every Ford publication shows the 18" machined wheels with Stealth Gray pockets as having color matched center caps. Every "live" example I've seen has bright caps on the wheels. Can't seem to find a part number for them. Two of my local Ford dealers (no real helpful) can only find the...
