Just a little mechanics advice for anyone looking to do this. When you're trying to get the axle shaft out of the hub on the front wheels, DO NOT strike it directly with a hammer. You'll run the risk of damaging the threads on the end of your axle shaft. You can use a dead blow hammer or a brass drift or something that won't damage the shaft. Not trying to flame this guy but whacking things with a hammer, sometimes, is a mechanic no no. There are other means to apply force to get parts to come free.
Overall was a great video, but I cringed when he wacked the axle.
I just jacked mine up with a ball peen vs. a dead blow 😥
Completely agree, use a mallet hammer guys c'mon now, it's not a Communist we're trying to hurt here, it's your baby...
@@LG-yy2up mallet hammer? There's no way you can remove axle shaft with a mallet hammer
or flip the nut and leave it protruding past the shaft.
Great video & just in time! I ordered the Fox 2.0 kit yesterday for my '19 Ranger XLT FX4. - Ohio
Thanks for the how too video. Going to be tackling my Bilstein 5100s install soon. Will do backs first and then attempt the front.
Watch Shock Surplus video on Fox vs Bilstein setup for Ranger!
I just did this job on my Ranger this last weekend and wished that I had removed the axle nut (uggh) when I did the left side. It ended up taking almost five hours to get it all back together again after the CV overextended. On the right side, I disconnected the lower control arm from the frame and completed the entire installation in under an hour. Way easier!
Doing this to my truck this weekend, thanks for the how-to video! Very helpful. Better than the stage3 videos.
P.S. Despite taking off the axle nuts I had the CV joints come out on both sides, doesn't take much. But went back in just as easily, took 5 minutes to get them back in.
@@russellgregoire7418 Hello, I've just done mine assembled the first tire, but the cv joint on the passenger still looks a looks out even though that the tire is assemble should I be consern.
@@jonathanmorales3998 yes I'd be concerned, it's not safe to drive if the cv joint is popped out.
@@russellgregoire7418 sorry should explain better is not inner boot of the cv. Is literally the crown or cover where it connect to the actual transfer case. Wish I can send a picture to show.
How does it ride compared to stock on and off road?
Looking at doing this project. On dirt and eibach pro truck adjustable tho. By far the most helpful install video so far. Hope I can get the a arm back together with a pry bar, one man show, and gonna buy a deadblow for the axle.(tool buy excuse) wish me luck.
Thanks for the guidance, made job easy!
Thanks. Fantastic How To!
Why not use a strut compresor? Will the shock not compress enough to remove it?
Will you eventually replace tires with 32 or 33s ?
how did you adjust the height?
Do you have to do all this to level the rake also?
What height did you adjust to?
What did you torque your cv axel nut to?
can you plzzzz do a video on how to take the front bumper off so i can crash bars off without cutting them
Love the Front Bumper! it's the original or an upgrade? I think in Argentina Ranger comes with another version
Did you add a differential drop and UCAs? Any issues with the CV joints if you didn't?
Thanks for the video. Doing this exact thing to my 21 Ranger. Wondered how it looked since the 2.0's come pre-lifted. Still wanted some rake for hauling and didn't want the rear "squat". So it looks like it's not too level. The original FX setup really stinks. So much body roll....
What height was the lift in the front?
2inch or 3 inch?
Did you reuse all the nuts or did you replace them? I’m torn between reusing them and replacing them but don’t see why I should replace them or not?
Awesome video! Qs - Axle nut, is it necessary to replace it?
Good job thanks!
Really wish they would put those shocks on when you get the fx4 package
agreed, I'll betaking those decals off soon.
Was there much of a difference between the two types of shocks
My 2021 Ranger came with these already and some other extras Bought the one on the show room floor
@@paulpeters5199 yes. FX4 is garbage. Too stiff, too bouncy. Soooo smooth on the street now, better of road of course.
I have a question for you experts in the 4x4 sector! (and I would like to know if you can tell me if it is true that the ironman nitro gas shock absorbers go well with the original set-up and can be adapted with the +5? I have a Suzuki jimny 4x4 with m13a 1.3 l petrol engine with shock absorbers and standard settings, yesterday afternoon I picked up the new ironman nitro gas shock absorbers and the 4x4 spare parts dealer in Florence told me that these ironman nitro gas shock absorbers are ok for 4x4 off-road vehicles with stock trim or in a second you could put the springs higher and it becomes a +5 high trim is that true? Greetings from Florence Italy!)
Ok im confused i have a 23 fx4 and it rides like a truck,but you said the fox makes it stiffer? I want a much softer ride,more like a trophy truck ride,so this is not what I should do?
How does it feel when you ride in the rear seat? ...on fx4 rear feels very stiff, and boaty feeling when riding in front did it improve at all when riding in the back?
Good job❤❤
@Harles Garage did you have to go back to the dealer to recalibrate adaptive cruise control sensor thing after you installed your leveling kit?
I did not. It has worked just fine.
Great video thanks. I won’t be beating the truck up , although i will take it slow in rough terain one week out of a year Hunting. Not sure if the money and difference is worth it? What do you think..?
I def think that this kit is worth the $ and greatly improved the ride quality. Even if you just do one or two trips a year it’s worth it.
What did you torque the axle nut to? specs? I just ordered my Fox 2.0 kit from Stage 3 Motorsports and they said it will be here on the 25th.
220 lb ft
An install like this wont effect your warranty and your insurance policy...right???
Did you jack the rear end up to put the rear shock on?
Ya he had a jack stand under the axel.
What height did you set it to? I've heard 2" is a good middleground.
They are preset at 2" from factory i believe!? Is that correct? I ordered my Fox 2.0 kit yesterday.
could you provide the torque specs on the main nuts please :-)
225 ft-lbs I heard. 35mm? nut?
You did that the hard way
Think this is a good idea for a non 4x4 or should I just get a level kit
Oh yeah its still a good idea! the ride is great!
Great tutorial! What's the advantages of this kit?
It's a leveling kit with improved suspension, particularly off road. Less chatter on the rear end, less body roll in the turns from what I've noticed after a couple days driving it.
did the rear also go up after you installed the rear fox 2.0 shocks? If yes, by how much?
Mine did by 1.5 inch’s, maybe a tad more.
Will this work with 2wd 19-20 ranger?
yes any 19-23 ranger.
Hey, great video. Did you have to adjust the coil overs or did you just install them the way they were sent to you?
Installed them as is, thanks
Hey Little Ranger thanks for getting back to me, do you know the setting/height in which they came?
Dalton Johnson two inches of lift from Fox Factory.
@@dad3562 👍🏻.. thanks. Idk why I put “little” Ranger lol, must’ve been a typo. Nice truck bud
Did you have to adjust the cruise control radar and re adjust the headlights after installing this kit?
Had mine done by Ford and they did readjust.
@@lawrenceparker2419 how do they adjust the radar?
@@marcusbarnes5929 they dont. just the headlights. from my understanding.....
Having the Fox 2.0 stage 1 kit installed at Ford this week. I have the same black wheels and Hankook tires as you, but the Stage 1 Performance package comes with the 17" Dyno Grey wheels. I'm wrapping 265/70 R17 BFG KO2s on them. 1" bigger more aggressive tire and 1" smaller wheel, and that should complete the look with the level stance.
Cost @ dealership?
@@gameovergt Lift, wheels, tires, plus labor including alignment, re-aim headlights, and recal speedo with tax cost me just over $3800. But, I got a 10% discount on all parts and labor because I work for the company that delivers parts to the dealership. Budgeting about 4k would be about average I think. And I am loving the new look!! I highly recommend doing it.
@@gusthomas cool. I just want the 2.0 kit installed to level truck.
@@gameovergt If you just buy the lift from the dealer parts dept. and have the dealer service do it you'll be around 2k out the door plus tires if you want to go with 265/70R17s
@@gusthomas got the 2.0
kit from stage 3 already. Also new FMIC with pipes from Mitsimoto but looking to get installed.
Great! it serves in ford ranger 2017?
USA ranger 2019-2023. Other country ranger 12-22
Do you have to replace the cv axle nut? I've heard mix whether or not you do or do not? Stage 3 told me it's not necessary. Maybe I should ask ford lol
I don’t think you “have” to. But if I recall they aren’t terribly expensive so I just did it anyway.
@@TheHarleyGrady ok thanks
So it's been over a year. How's it going with the mod?
It’s going great. Trucks awesome !
Do I have to get alimentos after installation
Alignment
Thx! Did you have to get a realignment?
I did.
Yes. Had mine done at the dealer and the alignment was definitely out after install.
Where does the axle nut go
watch the video 😅😅😅🤣🤣😂😂
Does this void any warranty ?
I'm having mine installed by Ford and it does not void the warranty. Doing it yourself might be a different story.
Did you sell your fx4 suspensions ?
I replaced mine and have the FX4 suspension with 18K on it (2019). If you're interested in buying, let me know.
trash
NeumAticos whatsp number som de la ford ranger del video
if your doing this change do more research before so your not having to remove more then whats not needed and to see if there is more needed like changing control arm because other videos if seen are different
Am I the only one who gets the most stubborn ball joints on earth? Had to hit them with a torch then sledge on my mustang... and my ranger is asking for it too.
Put some fender flairs on it
Yeah I’m gonna have to ! Bushwhacker make some OEM style extended flares that aren’t too much
No need for fender flair with stock tires. The truck will look like it skipped leg day
First... Or in Latin , Prius
😂
This video taught me I should pay someone else to do it...Thanks, I guess*..lol
This dude made this way more complicated! Watch the stage 3 install video. No need to remove the brakes or sway bar.
This is the proper way to install on a 2019-2020 Ford Ranger 4WD. I too own a 2020 Ford Ranger XLT 4WD, bought this same kit, and installed it myself. In order to prevent the CVs from falling out of the housing, the front brake calipers, and rotors must be removed prior to removing the stock struts. I preferred to follow the instructions in the Ford Ranger Shop Manuals than watching the Stage 3's installation video. What I am telling you here is also mentioned by many Ford Ranger owners on www.ranger5g.com.
Exactly. It’s takes just 5 minutes to remove the brakes and sway bar. You pop a CV out you possible have to rebuild or replace it. Would rather take the time to do it right then shortcut and screw it up
That stage 3 video is BS. Install goes nothing like that. It’s HEAVILY edited.
Way to much work. Use a pry bar and it takes 15 minutes per side. Align and go. Adjust lights with screwdriver or fingers. Using Phillips turn clockwise for down. Using fingers on gear counterclockwise for down. 1 year warranty and you MUST rebuild yearly.
