The more I drive and look at the truck after my 2.5 RC Level I'm not convinced it's actually "level"
Most of the time when I look at it the front looks slightly higher than the rear which looks super goofy, not the stance I wanted.
What are my options for very slightly lifting the rear...
Not so much performance. Sounds better, Looks better and somehow seems to have smoothed everything out as far as roughness/jumpiness. Though this might be in my head?
Finally got around to getting these little upgrades done.
2.5 Inch Rough Country Level
265 70 18 Falken Wildpeak AT3W
MBRP 3 inch Stainless Cat Back Exhaust (this made a huge difference!)
This replacement was done under warranty a few days ago and appears to have fixed the issue.
A bit concerning that a critical piece like this had to be replaced at 30k but all good for now!

There are a number of reasons I regret not buying the Lariat. Headlights, Stereo and Leather are the main ones:). However, the most annoying is definitely the headlights in the XLT. They are terrible! I generally drive with my fog lights on at night as the halogens are basically useless...
Ford has diagnosed this problem as "excessive play" in the rear driveshaft steady bearing. They have ordered a replacement driveshaft...hopefully this will resolve the issue.

Hey Phil,
Thanks, cant say I have ever thought about the difference between a squeak and a squeal:) but yes you are right....a squeal is a much better description in this case. I have not tried it in cruise, and of course it was not making the sound this morning so it is very hard to replicate...
After reading a few more similar posts I am pretty sure this is the driveshaft bearing issue that a few others have experienced. Hopefully Ford can resolve.

Hi All,
I have a very loud, very intermittent squealing/squeaking sound coming from the truck. It sounds like the sound a loose fan belt would make but that definitely does not appear to be the case. Sometimes it appears to come from the front drivers side and others from the mid passenger...
Would love to do the door handles on my lightning blue xlt. Where did you get the handles from? Part #? Did you have a local shop do the colour match or Ford?
I wish it was turbo lag, but this feels very different...
I usually drive it in Sport as the tranny feels so sloppy in drive..however, I think in these cases I was probably in drive
Hey All
Unfortunately the more I drive this thing, the less I like it. Have brought into ford a couple of times as I keep experiencing the same issue (Ford cannot replicate Unfortunately).
I step on the gas AND THE TRUCK DOES NOT MOVE! at all:shock: this has happened a few times, is...
I like the new frontier alot...interior is way better than the Ranger. If Nissan got its act together and released them two years ago they would have had my money forsure!
