No big secret that Ranger shocks are little more than pogo sticks. To add insult to injury, these trucks are priced at a premium and have been decontented year after year.

*****************************************

Should new Ranger buyers negotiate proper shock absorbers into their sales contract?

Should people who have already purchased new Rangers and replaced the useless shock absorbers sue Ford for reimbursement?

I spent $985 to replace my low buck, bottom dollar, useless shock absorbers/struts 'out of pocket'. My 3/36 is up next month.

*****************************************

Opinions please. Stock Image: Bilstein 4600 OEM style shock absorbers.

YES!! They should reimburse me the $10K I spent to make it the way I wanted it...not only did I have to level it as it should've came from the factory with Eibachs, I had to spend inordinate amount of time/labor/$$$ because the lighting was just absolutely inadequate...?

Maybe the problem isn't the suspension per se, but that's it's not designed for trolls.
Hoping someone intelligent is impressed.... ;)

Too soon for me to pass judgement on the factory Hankook tires as this is my first experience with them.....
You want me to start you a gofund me for tires just incase?

Love these and similar threads - frauds and fools are exposed in every way imaginable....
Agreed! Like the op...

I will say the LEDs on my ranger are decades ahead of the garbage halogen lights my f150 had.

Had to look that up. Not up to date on English personalities.
At least the shock issue isn't as obscure as the Jimmy reference.

Do you not excel at obscurity and vagueness? I answered you in kind....
