No more RCD
I was reading on ORR that RCD was discontinuing the Ranger kit and will not be honoring warranties anymore. So I wrote them.
They replied.
WTF!!! That pisses me off. I'm gonna be writing them back to see what I can do "if" anything does break. I don't understand how they can sell a product with a warranty and then void it just because they want to.
Hello,
I heard from another Ranger owner that you will be discontinuing the Ford
Ranger 4wd kit and will no longer be honoring warranties. Is this true?
Thanks,
Matt

Hello Matt,
The 5" suspension system for the 98-02 Ford Ranger 4x4 models has been
discontinued and is no longer available. In accordance with discontinuation
all warranties have been suspended. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Thank you.

This could be fought because you buy the kit with the implied warranty. Whatever that is. Not sure what.
But if it is a lifetime they still need to honor it or they should refund some money.

this makes the most sense. i think what they mean is that they are suspending new warranties because there are no new ranger products to warranty. Existing warranties should still be honored

Isn't there that other one still too? Trailmaster I think it's called? I was going to look at a double lifted ranger with that kit on it, but I didn't like the kit at all so I didn't.

This is kind of confusing. What new warranties do you mean. Any kit that has been sold comes with a warranty. And there are no more new kits. So every kit so far has a warranty.

I think some one might start developing a SAS conversion kit. Honestly.. its the BEST way to go. I believe one could be developed and marketed for less then what the inferior RCD kit offers.
RCD might have seen a once plentiful market go to such a move. SAS conversions used to be very few and far in-between.. their common now. Most of the engineering behind them is done by ' common people ' whom don't own huge fab shops. Beard did his in his garage, Griggs in his driveway..

Oh and Beard has his own fab shop.

i have to believe they have stock of RCD kits for rangers that are still to be sold to suppliers. so those kits will probably not be sold with warranties which will mean lower prices on those kits. To the best of my knowledge it would be unlawful to remove a warranty prior to the warranty expiring without compensating the person that holds the warranty.
