So I picked up some acetone and had a quick go at it and it literally just wiped off. No elbow grease required. I’m surprised how easily it comes off and it makes me question what kind of cheap paint ford just half assed over the silver. This is good news for the guys who already mounted theirs...
3.5, 3.55 gears, 35x12.5 tires, a topper and a bed full of tools and she pulls with no hesitation. I’m actually impressed with how much performance I didn’t lose! I’m at 17.5 mpg but it’s winter fuel and my truck idles for about an hour everyday. Take that for what it’s worth.
Got some blacked out emblems in the mail today to go along with it. I figured if I’m taking the front end apart it’d probably be a good time to swap them. I’ve been so busy at work that I forgot I even ordered them until they showed up, bonus!
That plastic is not broken, it’s made that way, don’t ask me why. I had the same concern a few months back and posted a thread on here. If you google that part you will see it.
They are just trying to sneak that extra 2k in, sad but very common. You can call them out on it and they will adjust but they will likely try to sneak it back under financing etc. you really gotta stay sharp and look at everything
So interesting find today… the upper black piece that I was planning on painting came dinged up with some scratches. I started lightly scratching at it with my fingernail and the black paint started coming off like one of those scratch off lottery tickets exposing a metallic silver paint...
Get the smallest spacer you can if you’re not wanting more offset. Someone posted a link recently to some 5mm hub centric spacers, I think they were on Amazon if you search for it
A 295/60/20 will look wider and has a wider tread width than its equivalent in 295/70/18. It’s not a lot but it is noticeable and makes the latter look skinnier on the truck. Just something to think about when you switch wheels if that wide tire look is what you’re after.
I’m usually beat at the end of the week but a 2.5hr job is easily doable for a weekend and tempting! Is the bumper removal doable by yourself or do you need a helper?
There’s a thread on the tremor forum that goes into it more. My understanding is that the knuckle does not provide any lift but rather slightly moves the location of the hub in relation to everything else to lessen the cv angle. The difference vs a regular knuckle are minor but someone took...
How about those cv angle pics? I almost went this route about a month ago but for a lack of information aside from “looks good” and “rides good” reviews I went with the 6112 instead. Can’t complain though as it got me about 3”
I recently ditched my fox 2.0 for the 6112. More control, better at absorbing bumps and hits, just so much better all around. I got 2.5”+ on my 3.5 and a very comfortable ride. My fox’s were under 2” initially and I adjusted them up to 2. The ride was very jittery.
