2023 Ranger 4x4 lariat…… I went to install this today and you could see the different bolt pattern and the aluminum disc on top of the fox is a lot bigger and it wouldn’t fit in the spring bucket. I will call stage 3 (where I purchased them from) tomorrow to see what gives. The numbers on the instructions and the numbers on the box are correct. Anyone know what’s going on here, Thanks!

Maybe wrong part in the right box?
First of all, thank you for your help yesterday evening. Did a lot more homework on that axle nut last night and it went 1 - 2 - 3 today. I did find my directions on installing but they were extremely vague compared to your Eibach instructions on that axle nut………………. I have to concur with you on today’s shock problem is that it looks like it’s the wrong part in the box. We will see what happens tomorrow morning.

I have had always had great experiences dealing with @Stage3Motorsports . I'm sure they will help you out. Hope you get up and running soon!

Look like the are for a F-150.

What's the part number on the Fox itself? Should be on the bottom of the body where the shaft goes in.

So part number is correct like you said. Maybe someone swapped top hat caps?
Will talk to Frank at stage 3 tomorrow where I purchased them from and go from there. Thank you very much for checking into the part numbers for me, appreciate it!

No problem, if Fox gives you any trouble let me know. I'm sure they will take care of you though.
Hi and thank you for your help again. Bottom line FOX is next day delivering my part. Technically I only live a couple hours away. The first person on the phone at Fox did not help me much. They wanted me to send pictures in and they would get back to me whenever. The second person I spoke with wanted me to send pictures and then they would get back to me within 24 hours. The third person I spoke to on the phone took very good care of me and was 100% aware of the problem.
