as in the corners i scratched one up a bit to day but i guess its the price you pay for mods lol
thanks makes me happy i never got those front tow hooks from you though
like i needed another thing to remove lol

I just skipped that part of the instructions and didn't take mine apart lol. Did you use air tools? My bed bolts came out super easy with the impact, all of mine did beside the core support. And Shane screw you, I have a ton of crap to do beside working on the truck all day, sorry I'm not fast enough for you. At least I'm doing my own work instead of paying some else to do it for me unlike some other members on here. Silver do you want a pic from under the truck looking up like towards the fan?

u shouldnt have to move the ac line, nor the break line, nor dismantle ur front end. i have done 4 BLs on rangers now.....we never did any of that. yes a torch n c-clamps will be ur best friend. also if u have a drill press it would come in handy to...if not im sorry for the 2 blocks u have to drill out for the front

I gess all truck ain't the same, but on my truck when we did the body lift I ended up shreding my A/C line...(Sorry don't know, took it to Ford and had them fix it.)...& my E break hasn't worked since we did the lift. The cable does not have three inches slack in it stock to reach the bracket after the body lift was put on. I need to move/make the bracket for it

ok here u go
3 things to finish up
1 is the rear bumper and 2nd is the pesky parking break
finaly next week im going to buy new hoses for the trans cooler and relocate that to its original location,the new location makes it hard to get to a few bolts and seams like its getting less air flow now
