Not to doubt your observations, but after reading that a 10 pound bag of sugar lowered you truck an inch, I had to measure my FX4. I went out and measured the height of my tailgate with nothing in the bed of the truck. Then I sat my 175 pound butt on the edge of the tailgate. It dropped almost exactly 1 inch. So unless the FX4 springs are much stiffer than the 4X2 springs or my bathroom scale is way off, that was one heavy 10 pound bag of sugar. A 10 pound bag of sugar will bearly take the slack out of my tailgate cables.My Ranger vibrates a great deal and enough I have been spending the effort to figure it out. I was beneath my Ranger this weekend looking at the rear end drive train. Man the light springs holding the rear axle let the rear end flex so easy. I was getting groceries out and noticed how just a ten pound bag of sugar on the tailgate made the truck drop about an inch.
