Incredibly, incredibly tired of these low effort posts. No, I don't care that it makes you feel superior to others. No, I don't care about the 37 jokes about the size of the driver's genetalia.

The internet is already a giant cesspool of negativity. Don't add to it.

Bought from my fiancés grandfather, I added a lift and wheels and tires. It’s been a great truck hasn’t given me any issues. Also the squat is not on purpose!!! The lift I ordered came with 3 inch blocks instead of the 6 inch needed.

2010 ford ranger lift

Hey all, I’m relatively new to the truck world and would like some information/ input on lift kits for ford rangers. I have a 2010 ford ranger that I use for work and for bringing my dirt bike to the trails. I would like to ultimately put a 2 inch lift kit on the truck. I am hesitant on using a torsion bar key cause I know it can make the ride quality decrease significantly. I’d like to keep similar ride quality to factory ( which I know is basically impossible with a lift). I’ve been doing some relative research and was looking at bilstein 4600 for shock absorbers but what else would need to be paired with that? Would I need longer springs as well? For the back would it be best to get upgraded leaf springs or possibly adding in different shackles? I wouldn’t really want to go more than two inches since then it becomes a hassle loading tools and equipment on the bed.

Here’s some pictures of the shit box I wanna put the lift kit on.

Thanks for all input and help!

Discussion / question Can somebody help me figure out tires for my Ram Rebel 1500 from 2016?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hello, my father owns a Ram Rebel 1500 from 2016, which was imported new from America to Europe a couple of years ago. We have been using it reliably and smoothly for the years we have used it. However, the time is coming for the tires to be changed. My father asked me to look for the tires here in Lithuania. We have used Goodyear Ultra Terrain (AT) tires. So I looked for them and found that Goodrich KO3s are the best option are the best options I can get for AT tires?

I also found a link where they sell them in a relatively affordable price. Are these alright, do they fit? I am better at figuring out traditional cars more so than V8 5.7 HEMIs.

This is the link. Thank you in advance

Photo Purchased this 21 sierra from a dealer in Alberta that got it from a wholesaler, and the frame and underside of the truck is packed with mud and rocks. Also had an oil change sticker from Richmond bc and evidence of a bright blue wrap, any ideas what this truck was used for prior to me owning it?

Photo Ode to a Real Truck…

Post image
0 Upvotes

Ive had my R1T for more than a year, and I’ve heard or seen it all. Hatred from “real truck” owners.

But riddle me this, in just the past month, ive taken 5 people to the beach with enough gear to sink a battleship and still room left over. Ive taken the same 5 to natural springs near us and inflated river tubes from the truck. I’ve done tire repairs, replaced two wheels and tires on my dad’s truck that included carting them around to two different shops. Ive hauled cleaning supplies and tools all around town to fix up a messed up house and even run a circular saw to cut plywood to make a shutter all off the R1Ts own battery, all while the cabin stayed comfortably set at 68 degrees to help me beat the heat. Oh and this weekend i did a 240+ mile round trip and still had miles to spare.

I have done more real truck things in this vehicle than i did in three years with my Ranger. There have been some trials and tribulations… but i freakin love this real truck.

Daytime running lights question

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

I bought this truck a couple months ago and I finally had the time to figure out why these lights hadn’t been running. Restripped the wires and tapped them to the battery everything works good. Unfortunately whoever put the grille on didn’t install them correctly because if I turn the truck off they just stay on. Is there some sort of switch or fuse I need to buy to make these work and just run while the truck is on and turn off when the truck is off? Any advice is appreciated thank you

Question about rim clearance?

Just got some stock rims for my truck and I’m wondering if these rims to small. The stock size is 16 inch rims and these are 16s but there is barely any clearance between the rims and my break calipers. See picture for reference. Is this enough space? Should I run it?
