That is EXACTLY what I was trying to say! I was sold on the images that Ford posted only to be disappointed by reality.
Thanks Ryan for reading my mind! :like:
.....but not sure I understand this statement.
Let me break it down and explain.
STUNNING! Meaning it's beautiful; super cool; instant attention grabber.
ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! Meaning the stance and overall appearance couldn't get any better.
This is EXACTLY the way Ford should have offered...
Could be an exciting weekend. If it moves east, LA gets slammed again. If it moves west, we'll get the rain.
I feel really don't for the guys out west; Arizona, Nevada, NM and California. The heat is extreme.
What's the title to this thread again? Oh yea, "Anybody planning to LOWER their 2019 Ranger?" You are exactly right. "to each their own".
BTW, I don't drink Starbuck! :like:
Now wait a minute! Some of us ARE grandpas or at least old enough to be one! :crackup:
Some of us "older gentlemen" like lowered rides also! :sunglasses:
All good! I think everyone is ready for this! :like:
Latest from Belltech contact; received late yesterday.
Hello Frank.
I just got an update that they plan on doing the release sometime next week for the 2/4" kits.
For you fathers, it looks like a belated Father's Day gift this year! :like:
After reading your post, I thought I'd do the same and read the install instructions. What I found interesting was the note at the end of the instructions. They made mention of "THE REAR".
The REAR of the vehicle MUST BE lowered accordingly for proper handling and performance and also to...
Thanks Kevin; I enjoy the chase. Crazy thing is, I still haven't bought my Ranger yet! The Ranger is the prefect size truck for me but if I couldn't get the ass end down a bit, I wasn't interested. I've been very close to settling on a leveling kit. I've tried to convince myself that I'd be...
Well, I just spoke to my "insider" again at Belltech. I asked her if she could provide any additional information; more than what she provided on May 25th. She responded almost immediately! Here are her comments:
Good morning Frank,
Yes, to all of it! We are making the front kit where it...
Hey Mike. I've been telling her that since my first email to her. I've told her about the forum and typically ask her if she is cool with me sharing her responses; don't want to get her in trouble with boss man for sharing something she shouldn't!
Looking forward to seeing their product.
Well guys, I'm still around! Been awhile since my last post but I received some news today from Belltech that I thought might interest you. After reading some of your posts about their recent release of front struts, I wrote to my contact there. Below is her response.
Hello Frank,
It...
Good morning; it's been a few months since I've made any post. Crazy times we are living in and just trying to remember what day of the week it is presents a challenge!
Anyway, I finally spoke to my contact at BellTech (Customer Care and Technical Support Manager) again on the 17th and this...
Good morning Hounddog. It looks like you may have stumbled upon the wrong thread. No disrespect but I'm guessing this topic doesn't interest you. Search again, I'm sure you'll find a thread that does match your interests. Make it a great day!
Yea, I know. Crazy, right? I've always suffered from "paralysis by analysis"! Honestly, it wasn't that much work: just a few emails. Plus, I'm happy to do it. Even if I never end up with a Ranger (although I'm pretty sure I will), knowing that you guys will be modifying yours and posting...
Great question and one I hadn't thought about yet. Being completely transparent, I don't even own a Ranger yet. Part of my hesitation revolves around the issue of lowering. I won't be using mine for off road either. A mild drop is what I'm looking for. Depending upon what becomes available...
I CONTACTED MY SOURCE AT BELLTECH THIS MORNING TO ASK IF THERE WAS ANY NEW NEWS TO REPORT. I JUST HEARD BACK WITH WHAT I'D CONSIDER GREAT NEWS!
I just spoke with my engineering department and my Brand Manager. What we have developed is a 2.5" lowering strut for the front and a flip kit for the...
I agree with you Bret. I certainly don't like their current (stock) look, but I'm not sure I want to drop that much either. Heck, I'm 6 months shy of 60 years old and not out to impress anyone. I just like a ride that looks a little bit different than the "run of the mill" ride. Looking...
