https://a.co/d/3pTP2GJ This is the one I used. It held up okay on my recent two day trip, no dust in the bed.

My truck is about to become a lot nicer on long trips. Thank you.

9,100ft - turbo noises intensify! The eroded sections were a little above my paygrade so I could only drive and manage the drone on this stretch. Short video -

I just checked and found the stock springs won't fit the 6112s. So I'll need new front springs anyway then.

So if I used the stock springs with 6112 shocks, I could get the full 2.5" lift?

Are these springs stiffer than the stock front springs on a 2022 FX4 PowerBoost?

I got a text from the dealership this morning that the parts were in, so I went in and dropped the truck off at 9:30am. Got a call at 1pm that the axle shaft, and wiper motor recalls were done and the truck was ready for pickup. Pretty happy with how quickly they got it done. Livermore Ford, CA.

Yes, it’s this one. https://a.co/d/3pTP2GJ

Sealed the tailgate, hopefully I’ll have less dust sucked in there going off-road now. ignore the cargo net, that’s just a temporary spot before I go get hardware to install it properly

Mazda are one of the best kept secrets of the automotive world. Incredible feature set, solid engineering and build quality, and a really fun drive at a really good price point. I have two Mazdas right now (2009 Mazda6, and a 2016 CX-5) with no plans to get rid of either one. I only considered...

My truck is in for the axle repair today and the guy says “we have the replacement wiper motor too” and I’m like ehh, I wish I could pass on it because the old motor works and they’ll screw up the water jet angle when they go in for this.

I can’t speak for Fox but I got a pair of 5100s for $200, spent about 40 minutes putting them on (a power ratchet would have made it much faster!) and the ride is much more planted. I think this has been one of the most cost effective upgrades on my truck thus far.

Has anyone mixed and matched Eibach with Bilstien? I put 5100s on the back of my FX4 PB and like how they ride but I’m curious about the on-vehicle adjustability of the Eibachs for the front. Not looking to lift more than 2” anyway (if at all).

Yup, the possibility of over the air updates opens the door to the very real risk of making the default approach “Ship it as is to meet the deadline, we will fix it later via an update”.

It would be ideal if Ford had the engineering resources to do it all in house but you could argue that Ford’s core competencies are engine design, transmission design, suspension, frame, body etc and the rest they turn to other specialists for who have a core competency in that domain. We see...

Very cool. When I get my new parts in, I'll be doing the same. I just posted this video I saw in another comment. Multiple washers stacked in the "load and deflection" configuration might be a good fit for what we're dealing with here. Probably more resilient than polymer?

Perhaps something like a clover dome spring between the bolt and the washer? https://catalog.monroeengineering.com/item/flat-springs/clover-dome-spring-stainless-steel/m1000043ss Maybe a couple of them to get the "load and deflection" scenario covered?

I'm tempted to install a more ductile bolt (with threadlocker to compensate for less torque) and spring loaded washers to allow the axle some room to move before shearing the bolt.

Not sure if they'd have needed guidance TBH, seemed like the guy got it pretty quick and got on it. I just happened to have read up on this specific issue before I went in and had that advantage.

I usually have the stereo on but when I don’t, the creaks and rattles from it really irritate me. At least mine doesn’t leak though, so far. Haha true that! My Platinum is loaded so it ends up with a very low payload like OP. My plan is to tow a small utility trailer for things beyond a couple...
