I just bought a 2004 ranger and the sticker said xlt, however it was a lease trade in at a toyota dealer and I have a hunch its the edge model. I know the basics between the two models, I have the vinyl floors, paint matched bumpers and fender flares, and the stock rear lift blocks just like the edge models but I have power windows, cruise and some of the xlt specs. Can someone help me out? I am looking to get some fabtech spindles but first I need to find out which model i have since they require different spindles. thanks

You have the edge. You can get power options on the edge models.

 

xlt's have springs up front unless it's a 4x4..

 

Its an Edge. Don't get the Fabtech, get Procomp or Doetsch.

 

i know 33"s are possible with the fabtech spindles, plus i have a buddy at fabtech so im only dishing out 150 for the set of spindles.

 

by the fabtechs for 150 and then sell them for 250 and buythe procomps or doestch for only the 50 bucks outta pocket. Shop Smart shop S-mart!

 

Craptech. They break... If your gonna do it right, do it right the first time.
Procomp / Doetsch

 

Anything can break, especially if it's cast iron. I'd choose DT-casts over Fabtech though.

 

Yea the Fabtech ones are low quality

 

what is the difference between the pro comp, doetsch and fabtech spindles. The guys at 4wp recommended fabtech

 

When in doubt call your local Ford dealer with the VIN # and they will tell you.

 

XLT: Chrome bumpers (optional colored), power windows- He could have an and edge more than likely since he has vinyl flooring

Unless I read it what you were trying to say wrong. Some of the people that own F-150 sport's think it is a performance truck, but it is rather just it having a sportier exterior.

 

I have the Fabtech & have had NO problems w/ them...

Ryan, where in Anaheim are you? Hell, I'll come over and tell you what you got...

 

Fabtech and DT are cast out of iron. DT gives you less problems both in install and down the line, so basically just pick the lesser of the two evils.

 

im basically on lincoln and brookhurst. by the linbrook bowling alley. where are you located "napolean?". I think I got it under control, i knew it was the edge, just the window sticker threw me off a lil.

 

Ah, I am at Euclid/Ball... Right behind Loara... ever seen a red lifted reg cab around?

 

Yeh... my buddy lives right down the street. I'm assuming you went to loara hs? at the end of the month my truck should be finished. Where do u take ur truck out?

 

well im the monkey that throws the wrench into the machine :D I have, xlt, value pkg... let me summorize it for u

2door, vynil floor (drools) pwer windows, pwr locks, solid rear window, leather stearing, 60/40 bench, 4x4 styleside, cruise andkeyless entry chrome bumpers.

what i dont have: 4 doors (cries) carpet, sliding rear window, fog lights.
thats stock, iadded fog lights and other goodies.

 

easiest way, other than external color-matching and interior vinyl floor:

look underneath the truck in front...are there coil springs on the lower control arms?
YES?= XLT
NO?= Edge

Hope that helps...and good luck in the modifications

Well there used to be Santiago Peek (off of silverado canyon road, kina out by Santiago JC) but they closed that one. So we have to drive all the way out to Azusa. Um becides that there is Stoddard Wells(Barstow), El Mirrage(forgot where that 1 was), and ofcourse Pismo up by SLO.

 

Oh and i know u probably already figured it out, but you do have an Edge. From his cardomain:

 

ya, that is deff an edge.

 

Looks like an XL to me . . .
