Great job!

Which coating did you use?

I have gyeon rim coat (and others) waiting on my truck to get back from the shop...

Did you do wheel of or on?

Did you do your caliper while you were at it? Not that it would last, but why not if you did wheel off.
I used Avalon king . I did it wheel on . Received the coat after I installed them so got lazy and didn’t do it wheel off .

Nice, keep us updated on how well it lasts.

:)

Wheel off is a pain in the arse.

I installed a ¾” level kit today. I got a Zone 2” level kit $60 (made by BDS). It is a 2-piece kit with a 3/8” above the strut spacer and a spring compression spacer.

2" Leveling Kit | 2019-2021 Ford Ranger 4WD – Zone Offroad

It took about 2 hours (the frustrating part was getting the upper control arm and sway bar link tight enough to torque without the shaft spinning as I did not have a metric hex for the sway bar link). I actually like this spacer better because it has a provision for the locator pin. I know it shouldn’t but I think it rides different a bit firmer (different weight distribution maybe?) it’s probably just my perception.

The 3/8” spacer gave me an exact ¾” lift.

I have been on the fence with a leveling kit since I bought the truck as I felt it sits right and rides right and I swore I would leave this truck the hell alone but the devil made me do it… I am not sure if I will keep it, try a ½” from Ebay or remove it yet before I go to the expense of alignment.

Yeah I am that flakey and have commitment issues LOL

Ohh and I washed her today, I got it back from the windshield recall work and the Dealer had washed it but they put that black shit on the tires that flings everywhere (in the wheel wells and down the side of the truck) what a mess…

Edit; ok I just went out to the garage to look at it, I think I will keep it :D

NOT me!! And I know NOT anybody here on this Forum, Are my eyes deceiving me or did this dude NOT put the jack where it's supposed to be??!!! I might be wrong, but the jack doesn't look like it's under the frame.

I think he did something to his Ranger, I could be wrong

Never wrench your truck when you’re baked.

Looks like he’s on the pinch weld…

Brand new jack, new jack stands, new socket wrench, new torque wrench. I’m not sure he’s done this before.

Can only count to five when high.

Nope, that’s just the way he does it…..

Traded it in on an Explorer ST.

It's a bit of a long story.

The 2024 Mustang 500HP announcement caused a reaction in my gut. It's been a couple of years since I had a "fun" car, so I started Mustang shopping. I came REAL close to buying 1, but had 2nd thoughts about the money and dealing with having 2 vehicles. A Mustang GT is not real practical as a sole vehicle, so I would have kept the Ranger.

I started looking at something that would have some power and still be (kind of) practical and the Explorer fit the bill. If the Dodge Durango SRT wasn't so expensive it would have been an easy choice. IMO the Explorer ST is a better vehicle than the Durango RT.

My powerful cars have always been toys, with a daily driver. This will be an interesting experiment!

I will be stopping by to see what you all are up to. And for the record - My Ranger had a tailgate damper, so I was 1 of the cool kids.
