Looks awesome! Worth the $610. Do you have a picture of the full truck?

That doesn’t seem to bad for install and alignment.

No not at all, especially since it was done by the dealership.

I installed the Eibach Pro-Truck Stage 2 kit with rear reservoirs and SPC upper control arms. It took most of the morning. I installed the rear Global Leaf Springs a few weeks back and it raised the rear over 3/4". I was measuring 39-1/8" at the rear fenders. As a result, I adjusted the front coils to a 2.5" lift overall. The rear still sits a full 1-1/2" higher.

The SPCs are one of the better UCAs out there. I picked them up for $600. They have rubber bushings - so no squeaking, they allow for easy camber adjustment, the ball joints are sealed with Zerk fittings, and they allow for more travel. I measured my droop before and after the lift. Even with the 2.5" lift, I only lost 1/8" of droop.

I did a preliminary alignment myself with the same string equipment and camber gauge that I use for my Mustang when I go to the track. She drives real straight, but I'm still going in next week to have the alignment dialed in. Now I need to decide if I want LT255/75R17 or LT285/70R17 tires.

I’m glad you were finally able to get this done. Enjoy the ride!

Likewise. But man was I ready to just give up and get my $250 back lol.


Too much crap over simple struts.

I loves me a red SuperCab Ranger. Sure miss my 2001.

Have you thought about 275/70R17s? They’re 32.2” and a bit more crash bar friendly than those 285s.

I thought about the 275/70R17, but I don't want a load range E tire. The BFG KO2 255/75R17 is 32.1" tall and much lighter. I like some of the advantages of a narrower tire, but I don't want anything less than 32".

Well, whatever you decide, it’s going to look great! ?

I didn’t realize you meant SoCal when I saw “SC for the win” - I was going to suggest 2” wheel spaces and a negative offset, but never mind.

?? I first thought of South Carolina, hence the dig. Saw that Shea was from SoCal. ? But, yes, it’s definitely SuperCab for the win!

Nothing major. I didn't do it myself but I got the windows tinted. They look super dark in this photo. They aren't that dark.
