Ride quality on Ranger *head bobble sensation*

[Deleted member 15875]

Mine is a '21 Lariat 4X4, standard suspension

I think you have the best memb

I don't think so anytime soon. I really wanted to get rid of the rocking motion and the rear shocks did it nicely! Overall ride was much improved with the switch to the Bilsteins!

I'll likely do front and rear at the same time.

Best way to go - ask me how I know. Keep in mind Ranger has struts on the front - labor intensive operation that requires alignment afterwards. I had Bilstein 4600 series installed all of the way around - like night and day. The 2019 is the only Ranger of 4 I've bought new since 1988 that came from the factory with crappy shocks.

Is this thing similar to Rangers having tilt wheel for more Headroom?

I've tried everything. I have 2 herniated discs now. I'm selling it. A 2019 Fx4 XLT. If anyone wants it message me.

I have a 4X4 Sport XLT. Have also driven an FX4 and can say with certainty they’re different shocks. The sport is more of a street shock. Still has the “wallow” just not as bad.

Mine are good enough so I’ll run the for a few more years and then change them out for FP Fox shocks. That is unless a deal comes my way that says, you really need these NOW! ?

Thanks for your post.
Since bringing home my XLT 4x4 (not an fx4) I kept waiting to feel this 'bobble' wobble spoken of here in these forums. But driving home on bad Oregon roads, I thought if what people are complaining about as bobble, I wasn't feeling anything worse than my wife's Subaru Forester. But then I turned down our private self maintained road and then I think I may have felt it, Surely nothing that concerns me for 99% of the driving I do.

Maybe Furd finally changed the shocks to something with better specs? mine had it but it didn't bother me. My awsome wife on the other hand, would get kind of seasick. luckily she rarely rode with me and I knew how to avoid it. It isn't a problem now since switching shocks and she has no issues besides with my driving ? Brandon ain't got nuthin on me
