What a pain in the ass. :( I hope you get can the parts in a timely manner. This is one of my greatest fears while driving right now. Buddy of mine just hit one with his Dodge two nights ago, and hit one before that last month with his Chevy.

You're still crushin' it. #206 here. :)

They are pretty, just as is from the factory, for sure. So I don't blame you at all for wanting to leave it (mostly) stock. It's a shame the tailgate is so damn heavy though... If only someone made a product to ASSIST you with DAMPENING the way it slams downwards.... :angel:

I would say 'be judicious' about which mods you really 'need' versus ones you just 'want'. But you can see from my sig I'd be full of crap if I typed that out. LOLOL. Welcome to the forum!! ?

Thanks, OP. Just ordered one. ?

Assuming ball studs are in place on both the underside of hood and brackets near the hinge, yes the two gas struts are all that you need.

Here you go. (You’re lucky that I’m one of those people that saves packaging from mods…?)

It's been over 6 months and still in love with mine. ?

Having eliminated those basics, then the result has to be something in your WDH setup. Follow the advice given above by the others about finding optimum load on the tongue, and keeping some amount of rake in your truck.

Very reasonable speeds then. Only other question I'd ask is what brand of tire? I didn't want to believe it, but once a friend convinced me to switch, I learned there is a VAST difference in towing character/quality between different tire brands. When I changed to Goodyear Endurance tires...

Stupid but important question; how fast are you going? Trailer tires are only rated for certain speeds, and with their typically very basic tread patterns, can easily get squirrely above the rated speed.

Just waking up from a week away from home to see this, Dave. Been on many forums (and even moderated on a few) over the decades, and seen plenty come apart at the seams due to bad member behavior. It would be a shame to see it happen here; this place really is one of the best forums I've ever...

I have noticed if you are moving towards an object fast enough, some times the sensor doesn't start alarming right away. I've fooled my system into panicking more than a few times, it throws the alarm when I'm already decelerating and coming to a stop. (but there was definitely a delay) So if...

'Made' has such negative connotations...... LOL. "Encouraged'. Yes. That is more amicable. ?

But at least you get free shipping since it crosses the $50 threshold!! ?

Just got this email; if anyone on the fence, here you go!! Gold Eagle care kit, HALF OFF ($50.99 right now)

OP, I got a set of these, for when I'm driving from one fishing spot to another, and don't want to change out of my wet dirty waders only to have to change back into them. So far, has worked awesome; keeps the Tremor seats nice and clean, and I don't have to do anything but hop in and hop...

This is very cool, OP. Way outside my league of wrenching, but cool nonetheless. Looking forward to you completion pics. ?

Can't say for sure it's normal on the Ranger, but plenty of other vehicles I've worked on had similar molding in the bushing. Usually helps control flex and deflection direction when absorbing shock. Hopefully Phil can chime in on this for the Ranger.

I honestly didn't have any issues. I did the front ones in the parking lot of my dealer before I even left the lot, after hearing about the stories of how the Tremor tires threw rocks really bad. Installed the rears when I got home in under 20 minutes total. I will say, the paper instructions...
