What did Santa bring you for your Ranger?

[Langwilliams]

Do these require different bump stops or do they raise the rear end slightly?

From what I've read people that installed them installed shorter bump stops. I haven't gotten around to that yet. Ford wants $54 a piece for the tremor stops, I've seen aftermarket ones for $35 a pair.
You have to get longer U bolts too. A don't recall the member name but one on here pointed me to a set from rough country. Ford wanted $25 each which isn't too bad but I got all four for $45.

The rear did back about an inch at the wheel arch's but I'm hoping it settles a little.

Had a Bonnet/bug guard colour coded and fitted to my Ford MSRT Ranger. That stub Bull Nose certainly looks different.

Latest light fittings being Bugatti projector headlights, DD Stage C1 Amber Fogs, DD Stage 3 Ditch lights. A white 4 Spot Raptor Grill light is also affixed behind the Carbon Fibre grill. Meanwhile, the lower led light-bar, along with the roof led light-bar are being replaced this week with Stedi STX-E light-bars.

Looking forward to those being put to use! Will put up a picture later this week as I know this UK MSRT Ranger variant doesn’t appear to the North American Market and fellow Ranger Enthusiasts may be interested in how this one looks and compares!

A set of Road Master Active Suspension springs and 1 set of 1" lift blocks for the front.

How have you liked your Active Suspension springs? Are they all they are cracked up to be? Do they really improve unloaded ride? Did they raise your ride height?

Dallas09m3,

I really do like them quite a bit. I got them for pulling my camper. With my Lariat Tremor in stock configuration, I was blinding oncoming traffic with my headlights due to the excessive squat. To be fair, my tongue weight is between 700-800 lbs depending on how the toyhauler is loaded. After I got the springs installed and headlights adjusted, no more issues. They raise the back end an additional 1', so I got the 1' front level kit from Robbie Woolworth to offset it and maintain the stock rake and I really like it. The camper is more stable and doesn't sway as much. I am using them in conjunction with a pair of Sumo Super Springs that I bought to replace the stock bump stops. They helped, but not enough, so I added the RAS kit. Just a couple weekends ago, I loaded 1,500 lbs of flooring into the bed of the truck and it still sat nearly level. Total game changer. I did have to make some adjustments on the install of the RAS kit because they weren't aware of the Tremor suspension differences. I have been in contact with the company and they are working on it. Between the bump stop springs, the level kit, and getting the RAS on sale, I've got less than $1k into it and it's been a game changer. And yes, I feel like they do also greatly improve unloaded ride. Much less sway and jouncing on potholes, speed bumps, railroad tracks, etc. Feels much more planted all the way around. Hope this helps.

The wife knows I like truck stuff.
The good Moromoto smoked LED side marker lights and a door light that shines the Steelers logo on the ground when you open the door (rain check, it hasn’t arrived yet).

Santa (Mrs. DukeCanBuildit) was very nice to my Ranger this year!

Ho, Ho, Ho, Holy Cow, it’s heavy!

I take it that's for repairing the floor joists on my house

Not delivered yet but I ordered a set of the Ford Performance Blue tow hooks and a Sync 4 display that is supposedly works with the 3.4 systems. Supposed to be a higher resolution and and .46 inches bigger. We'll see

BedRug bed mat, DeeZee polycarbonate storage chest, passenger side Undercover swing case, and a reach tool to replace the one I forgot to remove from my old truck.

Some may not understand the reasoning but replaced a broken tool that I have used for over 30 years. The end broke off about a month ago.
Now I TRIED the cheap ones you can surprisingly still find in stores, but they were not the same, it ties into how much of a lip the opener leaves for pour control.
So, I hit up Ebay for an exact product replacement as from a mechanic who uses this tool daily if you try to change up to a different tool (it is never the same feel)

I cannot tell you how many cans of oil it opened over the years, but it was perfect and was lost without it. (well into the thousands)

Notes:
1. Aviation Oil - Still comes in metal cans, no plastic bottles
2. Aircraft Engines - Vary on how fast you can pour / fill without it overflowing and draining down to the ground, so the size of the opening you make in the can, will tweak the pour rate.
3. Not really for the Ranger but does factor in from a tool used to make the money to spend on it.

Pic is reference to the brand:

I also made the mistake of stepping onto a Snap-On Truck, walked off the truck with one of these to go along with my recent TopDon scanner purchase and it has an integrated 2 Ch lab scope.
So, this is for the Ranger (+)

My Autel is dead and awaiting replacement to arrive ($200) upgrade fee to newest equivalent tool
with the Warranty buyback from my old tool.
So now I have 2 scan tools and when Warranty Aulet comes, I will have 3
Well actually 4 as I still have my (First) scan tool (Actron) that is 25 years old, just a bare bones tool with Live Data, no bidirectional control with this one

A new crossbow and hard case, now I can hunt again in warmer weather and not worry about the pacemaker wires.
