The Ford dealership where I bought my 24 said not to do anything stick on. Their experience was that between extreme cold and car washes, the deflectors crack. "Won't last two years" I'm in northern MN though, so it might not be an issue in warmer climates. I like how they look though!

Looks like an old baseball bat. Have the same ones (will take a look today at their condition). My rears bottom out already with only a couple hundred pounds in the back, and bad winter roads. 6 months old... Guessing steel, to answer your question.

Looking for wheel flares that give a little more coverage in the back. Rocks hit in front of the backs...

Thanks for the thoughts grand nat. It happened again today, but not as harsh. Similar situation- 70ish on the hwy. Went to pass a slower car, uphill. Downshift clunk. Making an oil change apt, so i'll see what ford has to say. Not going to jump to any conclusions

I hate to even bring this up. Has anyone experienced loud, jolting clunks when traveling at highway speeds (70+) and giving extra throttle to overpass someone or maintain speed going up steeper grades? Not flooring it, just moderate acceleration causing downshifts. I traveled west where speed...

I should edit myself- I removed the strut by cutting out the tabs/bolts on bottom of the stock shocks. They're pressed in in.

Yep, it spooked me too (cv) Getting the bottom 2 bolts out of the original shocks is tough. But then you can safely take the whole strut out without ranking on the lower control arm.

Thanks Nothing drastic, but I like the look. Tires are really good in snow and the shocks feel like an upgrade from stock. Spendy, but to each their own.

They come from eibach set at about 2", to be level with the back. But they're adjustable, even after installed. The kit comes with a spanner wrench- jack up the front end to take pressure off them. Then you can raise them up to 3 inches, or lower them to whatever you want. I lowered mine...

Look under the suspension category- eibach pro 2.0 install

Thanks! The front is leveled(ish) with eibach shocks. The fronts are adjustable so they're currently set to be a little lower than the back. Think I wrote up more info with pictures under a different topic. Look up eibach leveling shocks and I bet you'll find it. Thing to watch for with your...

I found rack warehouse to be a good source. Got a bare roof yakima set from them. Pricey, but good quality. Found some amazon racks for over the bed. Chopped 6 inches off so they wouldn't stick out so far. Works with roll up tonneau cover, but it's tight to roll it up.

Wondering if anyone else has a loud squeak coming from the passenger side fender vent. (outside, plastic vent, just behind front wheel) When I take the vent out and pull on the bottom of the opening, it replicates the squeak. It is constant and loud on roads that aren't smooth. There's a...

Cheated, used a 1 1/2" hole drill bit to make an access hole for a socket. Super glued a piece of black plastic over it when I was done.

Have had my truck for a year now- stopped using lane assist almost from the start. It strongly favors the center line over the fog line. Kinda dumb/unsafe imo
