Yes Fx4 suspension with a 2.5" level kit. The level kit will be coming off and these are adjustable but I'll leave them at the same height.
You need to find a couple "test bumps" you hit at set speeds , before and after ... and video it so you can report the findings to us , BE CAREFUL! you'll probably want to catch a little air on the last one though...

A lil salt and some sriracha helps that crow go down a bit more smooth! ??
I have a lot of crow to eat so I'm thinking this might work best. ?

I don't have to to go off road but we have a few streets here with some good size speed bumps that'll be a good test. But after 3 years of driving like this I'll be able to tell instantly.

Way to go making profit in the deal! :thumbsup:

I have a love/hate relationship with Jeeps, but no interest in a SWB as a street vehicle ever again.
Thanks Jay! Surprisingly it rode better than I expected it to but the Bronco I'm getting (Badlands) comes with Bilsteins and those ride so much nicer!

Thanks Jim. I figure I'll be keeping my Ranger for a while, at least until year two of the next Gen. Some of that money will go towards the new shocks and an extended warranty.

Is that the one you just bought from Granger? What didn't you like about it? I thought about getting one after I 99'd the Bronco but then I decided to wait until the painted top came along.

Yes that's the one. There really wasn't anything I hated I just didn't "love it" and found an opportunity now to get out of and it make some money. I really wanted to keep it until next year and dump it when my Bronco came in but I don't feel that these crazy trade ins/buy outs are going to keep up the way the economy is going.

Right now everything points to a recession (one more negative qtr) and I'd felt better getting rid of it now. Plus the Fed is talking about multiple rate hikes which will definitely cool the market with housing and vehicles. Besides my Ranger I don't really get attached to vehicles and I love money more than the Jeep. ?

I fully understand your feelings.

I "loved" my old CJ7 so I thought I'd love the much more polished Wrangler.

I didn't.

I sold my 2017 Wrangler less than 2 years after I bought.

Now my Jeep is a 2004 Grand Cherokee and I find I like it FAR more than I ever liked my Wrangler.

It's close to "love".

I was recently offered a lot more than I have in it.

Naw. I love it. Not gonna be selling it any time soon.

Can't wait to see your Bronco. :like:

Neither can I! :LOL: ? This helped pass a little the time but it just wasn't enough to get me all the way there.

I know you had some really great offers from Carvana on your Ranger. That'd be a tough one because I really love this truck and we still have all the things on our that weren't deleted so they're really irreplaceable. It'd have to be an awful big check for me to sell mine. :inlove:

Can’t argue with making money!

Starting to see a lot more 2 DRs showing up. Saw this one walking to work in Manhattan the other day. Really sharp looking cars.

That is one sharp looking Bronco John! ? I see them just about every day now here but mostly still 4 doors.
