Wait, will the 2024 have this defect too? If they do was it really a defect if not fixed after knowing about it for all these years?

Yeah, I put C clamps on my springs and it's all level now. I mean, is this post for real? I tow a 4K pound camper and I think the rake has something to do with the engineers designing it this way intentionally. Regardless, this is one of the most useless posts I have read on here in 2 years. I'm just bored at work and responding. GTFOH

So...
How did you compress the single leaf rear springs with C-clamps?
Asking for a friend.

The defect is 1. quad cab only.
2. stupid high bed.
It's FKN, useless, as a truck. Maybe as a recreational vehicle for fun that's about it.

Mine works as a truck the way I need it to. Mostly towing trailers around. But got a bed I can sleep in, either right under the tonneau cover (yes, I'm 6' and yes, I have to be at an angle with the 5' bed, it's fine), or in the tent.

You trolling around a Ranger site more than a year after claiming to have sold yours, speaks to a completely different defect.
