What s the most important mod you learned about here?

+ Tailgate damper = + 10MPH and my Ranger becomes Super Ranger.

I don’t know about important but something I enjoy everyday is my redtek window module and of course the tailgate dampener!

Rear suspension swap it asap, ford can’t design a suspension to save their lives.

The 5000 dollars delete mod to my bank account for things I was pretty happy about until I read here how crappy they were here

 

[Fitzmotor]

Forscan, Redtek module and the tailgate damper, in that order.

Sorry Dave, the first two just have that electronic technology advantage, maybe if Dee Zee can design and develop the "electric tailgate damper"

You will want to replace the fronts as well. One of the best things I learned here. And the best mod so far. But I used Eibachs.

I have a 2019 Lariat 4X2. Recently replaced my tires, and felt some vibration at about 65mph. Took them back for a rebalance, and they're better, but still feel a little. Do you think shocks could be part of the problem? I don't know that I've ever had a vehicle that I needed to replace shocks on.

I don't know about the vibration. I will say one of my practically new shocks had a dead spot where when you started to compress it by hand, there was a spot with practically no resistance.
As for never having to replace shocks, really? Any vehicle with significant mileage on it will definitely need shocks at some point. I put 155k on my 2012 Focus. I replaced the shocks and struts at about 100k. I couldn't believe how much better it felt. They can wear so slowly you don't notice it, but when you slap new ones on there, wow. I think they recommend replacement at around 80k.

I should have mentioned that I've only had one vehicle that I kept to turn 100,000 miles. All the others were traded/sold at about 75,000 miles.

Oh, that explains it.
5G Ranger owners are replacing their shocks because of ride quality. Not because they are worn out.

+1 on the Redtek window module. Not having auto up/down on the passenger door was driving me nuts. Probably wouldn't have found their site without this forum.

1. Collaborative effort to add Adaptive Cruise Control to my Lariat (I was #2 but #1 in the States)
2. FORScan 'stuff'
3. Wireless charging tray
4. Adding Terrain Management
5. Redtek window module
6. Working on adding Trail Control

The 3d printed ignition bezel that Ford forgot.

 

[Todd Chapin]

Most probably making a good choice on tires and suspension. Particularly on what fits and the benefits and drawbacks of different setups. Thanks to all for thier posts I am very happy with my results much in part from what I learned on G5.

Second the Diode Dynamic Pro lights I learned about here are the bees knees.

 

[DonB]

2-piece lugnuts......replaced 'em! Same as Dan!

What size do I need to buy?

 

[Pinepig]

It's a tossup between forscan and the ROW rear multi leaf springs that were on Ebay for dirt cheap for a couple of months. I owe you a beer for that one Mike ( Fitzmotor )
