Hi all, I just got an LED cargo light that I want to install in my shell and I'm wondering where the best place to tap in for power would be. I'd like to be able to use it when the power is shut off, and I have no idea if there's a "hot" anywhere near the back of the truck I could grab. Any...

Ok, here's an update on this: I silicone sprayed the top hats (tried to get it where the plastic ring contacts the coil) and it helped a little, but then the squeaking came back. I checked the torque on the top hat bots and that checked out. I haven't un-weighted the front end to check the...

Ah! I'll try that, thank you for the suggestion! I'm having a hard time believing *both* units would go south at the same time with some serious internal issue. Thanks again!

Hi all, About a week ago I started hearing some very noticeable squeaking coming from my Fox 2.5 struts that have been on the truck for just over 90 days. They were purchased through a Fox dealer and professionally installed. The installer reached out to Fox and they suggest multiple options...

I've noticed a similar sensation with my Fox 2.5 shocks on the rear. No lift, but I'm leveled in front and using the 1-2" lift shocks. I was thinking it's the shocks themselves bottoming out possibly? I might swap back and see if it changes. I'll check the bump stops for any signs they're...

I absolutely love it! I thought about those. Wheels for my Ranger, ended up going with Nomad Field 504’s with a similar, minimalist look.

Now that I look at their site, I'm thinking I did the black (perforated) faux leather. You're right, the only grey is really light. In my truck, it definitely doesn't look "black"....

Hello! I did the faux leather, mostly to see how it wears and for ease of cleaning. The color is charcoal grey, I believe. So far, I’m super impressed! When I do it again (on whatever car it is), I’ll go to the trouble of removing the steering wheel. Getting the airbag out was a piece of cake...

Nice write up and well done on the setup! That's a really good look all the way around and a much more economical route than the plunge some of us have taken : ) I'm a huge Hankook fan too, I've run them on sports cars and performance sedans for years and get a good chuckle out of how well...

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. I had a shop here where I live do the install. They were intimately familiar with the slight challenges in getting the longer struts finessed in and also did the alignment and tire/wheel setup. They have worked on some relatively complex vehicles I've had...

Nice! Thanks for the report, I'm considering a similar trip this summer with a small trailer so the info is great. I towed a small snowcat (also about 1,000 lbs w/trailer) last fall and it did great. That was with a significant hill up to and down from a cabin too. Love your color too, it was a...

Be sure and reach out to @DirtDerrick for your Fox stuff when you're ready! He can get Eibach as well.

Yeah, that's part of the "black appearance package". I might not have opted for it, but it was the only Marsh Grey I could find, and I was glad I got it once I saw it. Especially with the shell, the rest of the black features work well.

Thanks all! Yeah @HighDesertRanger they're the 35 offset. I wanted minimal reveal past the fenders and the 35 offset on the 8.5" wheel pretty much nailed it. I like the almost flush profile of the wheel too : ) The installer I work with did an Eibach kit on a 20205 Ranger the week before mine...

Hi all, I had the new Fox 2.5 coilovers, wheels and tires installed earlier this week and wanted to share how it turned out. First off, *HUGE* shoutout and thanks to @DirtDerrick for helping me source not only the coilovers and rear shocks, but the Nomad wheels as well! He gave me all sorts of...

I would bet the 0 offset would rub, given the stock 55 offset. I went with the 35 offset, and I imagine I'll have to remove the crash bars (with 275/70/17's), but we'll see. I'm having the wheels/tires/2" lift done Monday.

I just dropped my truck off for the install of Fox 2.5 coilovers, 17" Nomad wheels and 275/70/17 Toyos. Stay tuned, I'll post pics next week when it's done!

Nice, thanks for the input! I keep forgetting the spare, and that it will have a sensor as well (with my luck, Ford included the different sensor on the spare than what the main wheels have, lol!). Does the system in the truck track the psi level on the spare? I've never looked or noticed it...

Hi all! I’m in the dreaded “mid-2025 build year” and trying to source the correct tpms units for a new set of wheels. After no solid info from tire stores or the dealer, I bought some dual-mhz sensors and an activator tool. My question is would it be possible to test them before I have the...
