What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Aragorn]

Actually it was yesterday. I had the local dealer install the Ford/Fox Performance front struts. Using my rewards points it only cost me $168. Figured that was well worth it as it maintains the warranty and if I have any issues it's on them.

Oddly enough they were not able to do the alignment. Told me their machine has not been upgraded for the Rangers. I have an appointment next week with the local Goodyear dealer for the alignment.

I swapped the rear shocks myself.

Here are the required pics.

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.

Took off the sport 4x4 badges off. Was thinking about adding just the 4x4 ones but I kind of like it with no stickers.

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? ?

Couple days late but spent Saturday installing my Icon UCAs, better bump stops and front and rear CDCV 2.5 adjustable shocks! Which is Icons Stage 5 for the ranger. Also used the opportunity to switch out the shitty lugs for some black McGards!

Just installed my stage 2 Icon goodies minus the rear shocks as they are on back orde....Had her aligned,and what a HUGE improvement!
Really loving this setup,even with just a pair of Rough Country shocks tucked under the back.I did add the Eibach 1” block out back as well.

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?
