Do you have a tuner installed? I have a bit of an agenda on power. I plan to install a tuner, new inter cooler pipes, cat back exhaust and maybe that new scoop from velossatech to add some air to that aFe power scoop that should be coming soon. If anything maybe I’ll pickup a couple of mpg. Overall, I would like to end up with a 350 hp at the rear wheel Ranger?
I do have the tow tune from Livernois. It definitely cleans up the fuel maps and provide good power for the low to mid range. The performance tunes are more of an all out power at the top end which i don't prefer. The reason being is simple. For daily driving, towing and offroad you want you power more towards the low to mid range and not maxed out. As for MPG, I lost 0.5 with the lift and tires. After the tune I got that back plus an extra 2 MPG for the average which put me at 24. Will other things help? Sure but if it were me I would look at what I am doing before making modifications. The afe scoop and the velossatech scoop would be a good fit for a daily driven vehicle but for offroad not so much. If you go offroad you gave the chance of water crossings which means a possible chance of hydrolock if in deep water and no snorkel. Just something to keep in mind. Also I would hold off on the afe pipes if you want an intercooler. Mounting has an intercooler available and comes with new hoses but won't work with the afe pipes.
You should buy the same shocks for front and rear! Don’t try to save a couple bucks just to have your suspension not perform as intended.
I had inquired before I ordered, and depending on offset I can expect to see around 10 inches of travel at the wheel. I got the base kit with their control arms. I have about 5 or 6 weeks till I see them because they build everything to order. I also pre-ordered the progressive leafs from APG. I can't wait to get everything on and see how it rides.
I'm doing pretty much the same thing as well.
