Good God Man!!!
Detail that engine compartment:crackup:
Not even worth it as it's one giant sandbox out here. It would look just as dirty within a week.

OK,I'll make a deal with you. I'll detail it once you get your damper? ?

Was the $168 out of pocket cost just for the labor, and you bought the Fox/Ford Performance leveling struts yourself? I was given a $2k quote for parts plus install on the same thing.
That was to cover labor. I paid $1243.38 for the leveling kit with the intention of doing it myself. I decided to check with the local dealer for installation cost because I'm old enough now that crawling around a vehicle does not have the same appeal it used to when I was younger and it would preserve the warranty. I installed the rear shocks as that is an easy/quick job.

All in it cost me $1501 including the alignment.

Washed and detailed the ranger getting it ready for our Utah trip this Sunday. Used the new Chemical Guys snow foam soap which is much better than the regular car wash soap but still didn't foam as much as it should. I think the gloss enhancer might be making the truck so slick it slides off to fast. lol

Before @FoD asks..... no I didn't clean the engine bay. ?

Looks good....on the outside.
But you know that WHOLE trip you'll be thinking about how NASTY that engine bay is and what could be growing in there. LIke a family of mice or something. Eeeeew!
Yeah, the whole trip.
All of it.
Dirt.
All over the engine.
Collecting. Spreading....

$1,243.38 is a great price for parts. I think @Stage3Motorsports charges $1,495 for the Ford Performance leveling kit. May I ask where you found it for $1,243?

Dave (@AzScorpion) has some secret coconut, crab and festering lawn slug oil that he lovingly massages daily onto the piston wiper and a super secret NASA space gel and rust remover that he slathers on the piston pole itself. I think there is a rabbit fur chamois involved too!! :whew:
