Your tremor looks great with the 2" level, & yes Robby has been awesome everytime I spoke with him. . . Did you remove the axle nut for install ?

Did not remove the axle nut... I did this same thing on my XLT sport but was not worried since it was the 4x2 version... on this one I was concern, but now I am confident that the little vibration is a tire balancing issue, which I will get them balanced this Sunday and hopefully that quiets down a bit... I know the factory tires are not a quiet type... I really like this truck, much better than the XLT Sport I had for 2 yrs.

Yeah, I'm really happy also with trwmor package. Carbonized gray is a very cool color. . .I'm about to attempt the install tomorrow morning & really don't want to pull the axle out. Was it very tough to get the strut out and not over extend the cv joints ? Any tricks ?

Eat your Wheaties, takes a few tries as is brand new... on that video I am sure he has removed those things a few times, so it seem effortless to do...

I was thinking that too but they seemed to articulate pretty easily, guess I should have ZERO worries about axle angles.

The shop that did the lift kit on my Honda Pilot was lazy and damaged both my front axles by pulling down on them too much. They should have popped off the hub but whatever. I hate that I am fully capable of wrenching but have no time and have to pay people now.

I hear ya, life always gets in the way lol . . .. so I was fully invested & feeling good this morning. Jacked truck up, assessed what needs to be done, then totally chickened out & put wheel back on . . .:headbang:

I did it the same way and popped out the cv axle.
I was watching that and even spoke to Robby who I got the kit from. . I guess he just knows how to do it but idk how he didn't pop the cv out. Looks like he kinda extended and bounced the lca

I only want to do a 1" level but based off the video, I am guessing I should be ok the way he did it. I will probably have a shop do it but I am tempted to try. Maybe my two boys will take interest in watching.

I'm going to give it a go Saturday, stay posted . . I'm hoping it's not to bad, really the only thing I'm sketched out about is separating the cv while pushing the axle out from the hub. Just going to hold my breath and hit it with a 28oz deadblow hammer . . .

Wow, in the middle of trying to install this kit now. Forget about the axle nut how do you get the tie rod end out of the cast knuckle ? Tried beating the thing with a 45oz shot mallet with no luck. Going to try a pitman arm press next.

2016 Focus ST maybe Ranger in a couple days.
Can you fit a 285-70-17 on it now? If I buy another Ranger I want a Tremor and a level. Won't go expensive like my last one and do a full Icon kit on it. These are priced right and way easier to install.
