You do realize that a FX4 is about 9-10g's right, whereas the F150 is 4-6g's?

And yes i was looking at RANGER Fabtek lifts. I didnt go through as much trouble as too look up the kit #, but assumed that it was a Fabtek lift for a RANGER.

If you want to post about building an F-150, post in the off-topic or the Build Logs. Last time I checked this was a RANGER forum.
I think that some of the crew cabs that style are ugly, not sure if its the color or what. We have a crew cab 4x4 thats white and I like the looks of it.
But its also stock and not all weirded out.

Then post in the "New Ideas" section. Or were you too dumb founded by all of your ignorant bliss?

This thread reminds me of a time I was driving through the mall parking lot, I was cruising along just fine, then, all of a sudden, I spotted a speed bump, I thought "OMFG!", the thing must have been 4" high!

I slowly approached, then stopped, got out of my truck, went to the front of the truck and studied the speed bump, several cars had began lining up behind me and honking they're horns by this time, I walked back to the cars and told them about that monster of a speed bump, when I told them, silence fell over the parking lot.

I then went back to the front of my truck, looked at that HUGE speed bump, got in my truck, backed up, got my approach angle right, then started over.

I tell you what, I showed that speed bump who was BOSS!!!!!!!!

CONSIDERING your idea, this isn't a "New Idea" and usually non-intelligent people repeat what others say.


*oh, and dustin, WTF?

because you seem to have an attitude that doesn't fit into our forums.

You want a personal opionion on a Ranger site fine..

That truck looks like crap... There is one good use for a vehicle like that, Fat chicks will not want to ride with you!!! Before I jump in a vehicle like that I make D@mn sure to check out the braking system if its not up to the task I don't ride...

Hope you plan on beffing up the drivetrain to handle all that extreme mall crawling you'll be doing... thats asking a lot out of a drive train that will hardly see the trail....

Dude, that story was epic... it deserves it's own thread.

Oh, ask Matt- 99Ranger4x4 about the jumping lightpoles... They're out there, and they LOVE to attack Rangers.

I remember Matt's tale, had something to do with a snow bank and a light pole IIRC.

However that light pole ****ed his bed up!

I conquered that demon of a speed bump without even a scratch on my truck!

The only thing is I shortened the story, I left out where I turned the switch to 4 low, you see, I don't have 4wd, but I've got the 4wd switch, Ya know.... I like to play with it while I drive down the road.

Oh hell yeah! Man, i wish I could shift in 4 low at 65 and not have to worry!!!


You know what would look killer on your truck Dustin, stacks coming out the bed just before the tailgate off like 18" piping. That way you could make your ranger LOOK like a semi or a 1 ton diesel!
