I learned recently that if you want to install a hidden winch on the 3.5 EB you need a different intercooler. Has anyone done this and what options for an intercooler did you consider and why?
There's also the wind resistance factor if tires aren't tucked inside the fender anymore. I went the opposite direction with weight and offset and definitely lost around 4mpg.
@powerboatr, it looks like you trimmed the active air dam for the front hitch. Does the active air dam still work this way?
Also, would this hitch work well in your opinion as I look at the height of it for a winch cradle?
I have a tight driveway and yard to park my boat and you have me...
Interesting discovery. Everyone is built different. I find my heated cooled lariat seat quite comfortable. If Raptor seats are so comfortable would those foams swap? And does the F250 foam swap with the massage seats?
I thought they used to do this. What I like about the 5100s is the better finish on it and the flexibility of doing stock or a lift in the future if I end up going that.
Really, I’m just trying to get the best mix for the adventures I do. Hadn’t thought much about this until noticing how bad...
I wonder what the OEM FX4 spring rate is? Bilstein replied:
Hi,
I’m sorry to report that I cannot disclose the exact valving characteristics between these products, as our direct-fit valving profiles are proprietary and privately owned information.
Generally speaking, I can share that the...
Yeah, probably going to pick one. Waiting on some specs from Bilstein. Hard to compare with a Ranger due to the differences in weights of the vehicle which is what makes the F150 ride so much better to begin with.
Interestingly doing a little google search some are saying same internally and some different valving. If I get a chance, I'll try to get some more info direct.
The 4600 is more of a worldwide shock for its applications whereas the 5100s for what we do in North America.
I’m guessing the Tremor shock is probably in between the FX4 and Bilstein. I don’t like how the rear axle on my FX4 jumps around on corrugated roads. However, I’m going a different...
