My aluminum hood would appreciate a new paint job. Anyone else having leading edge corrosion causing the paint to peal?

I have 7,000 miles on my 16' and looking to improve the ride, seems we have many options, Blistens/Rancho's/Fox and recommendations for trucks not lifted or off-roading, but are used for towing?

I had a vehicle with them 20 years ago that bing-boinged ( sound) over bumps at 20/30 mph speeds.


The best shocks I ever rode on were Ford Ranger OEM Bilstiens. I eventually had to replace them with 4600's which there was a noticeable difference in ride quality ect. 4600 much stiffer.


My Tremor feels like it could def use some better shocks

I had those bilstiens on my fx4 ranger also. Still had a nice ride, even with the bars cranked.
