Cactus Gray FX4

[Scooter]

I saw a video on the rear shock spinning when adjusting and twisting the braided line. I think the BP 51 will work well for my purpose. Looking forward to your review.

That could be. I haven’t received my rear shocks yet so I can’t confirm.

I found the video. Not sure if ARB has changed the design.

(1) - The Old Man Emu BP51 shocks are some of the best shocks our team has ever ran on our trucks. Check out one of our recent trail runs testing out the adjustments (shocksurplus.com)

One of two leaf springs got delivered! One by one parts are arriving haha.

Whole kit has arrived. Here’s a picture of everything included in the bp51 package.

Excellent! I'm curious about what you think as well.

Alright the kit is on. Took all day even with a lift, mainly because I popped a cv out and had to rebuild it. Can already feel the difference from the fx4 suspension, which is no surprise. No more bouncing around and nose diving when braking. It rides a little firm right now but that’s probably because they have them adjusted for a bumper and winch that I don’t have. I’ll have to tune it to my liking. Still needs an alignment and then I’ll test it off road. Should be getting tires this week as well.

Envious, a shop to work in. So you have the insight on Jeep's, repairing them. Why own a Ranger.

Wanted something different. Where I live everyone drives a jeep or Toyota. Rarely see a ranger.

You seem to know a lot about mechanics. Why no UCA's. I book marked your post.

Gonna hold out for OME to make their ucas for the ranger. They recently came out for Toyota’s.

I'll be keeping an eye out on your build.
I also have a cactus gray FX4 and am looking for some inspiration.

I'm curious about the whole OME suspension setup for the rig.

The ARB summit series front bumper seems a bit much for my liking. I have been looking at the Westin Pro or Outlaw front and rears.

Definitely excited to see where you take your build. We need more Cactus Gray representation out here. I only see them driving around in Bronco Sports around me.

If you have any questions about the kit let me know and I’ll try to answer best I can.

Got her aligned today and picked up the 285/70/17 tires. Cheap takeoffs from a jeep. Still debating whether to put them on now or after winter.

When you did the leafs, did you keep the plate on the driver side ? And vibration issues after install ? TiA
