Thanks everyone. I'll have to look into this damper thing.

I'm looking at maybe getting a locking diff installed. Harrops rep says they have one compatable. Debating if it's worth the price though.
I'd wait and get a feel for your use. I'm guessing that $ would probably pay for suspension upgrades you'll like day to day a lot more than you'll use the locking diff.

Hey all. New guy here. Got a 2019 Ranger stx 4x4. Open diff rear unfortunately. Looking to upgrade the suspension, wheels. Mostly drive around construction sites. Might look into doing some off roading though. Any advice you can give appreciated.

Yea, I'm liking the fox 2.0 suspension kit. Not sure what the difference between the rouse and Ford performance ones are.

The ride is a little bit bouncy/shaky. I had a 2015 f150 with 260k on it I totalled about a month ago. It road very nice. Wanted something smaller this time, and I liked my buddies older ranger.

So maybe it is suspension I'll hit first

My first mod was the Fox 2.0's with a 1" block in the rear to keep the stock rake. I have a trailer, so I wanted to keep it ass up and not leveled.

Hey, Rory, the Ford (Fox) Performance Leveling Kit was the first mod for my 2019 Ranger and the best! Really calms the bouncy/shaky ride. I later had an emailed exchange with the folks at Levittown Ford Parts about the Roush vs. the Fox kit, and they told me frankly that there is no real difference.

I also had the Ford/Fox 2.0 level kit on my 2019 Ranger.
Made a huge difference in the overall ride.

Thanks everyone for your kind words. I figure new tires are my first priority.
The tires work fine until you need something hardcore if you are planning to go bigger do it properly ride out the tires and do a suspension job first, I'd recommend bare minimum rear shocks and a lift then you can put on bigger tires. Depending on the size you may need either new wheels cause of the offset or spacers. I am on a 3.5 inch lift and have 315 70 r 17 which is pretty close to 35x12.5 r17 and they work perfectly and it handles great on and offroad. You need 3.5 minimum for that and you will have to cut the crash bars but the look on 35's is incredible so go big. I am also in florida and I got my stuff done at 4 wheel parts they did a great job and they also will install if you buy the stuff elsewhere and bring it to them which a lot of shops dont do
