IMPORTANT WARNING: It is highly recommended that you remove the axle nut on each side of the vehicle to prevent damage to the CV shaft and create more flexibility while working. We do not show this step in the video so please be careful while performing the install.

Following this video as a guide for an installation, could cost you greatly. As many of us on the Ranger5g forum have discovered, you run the risk of separating the outer CV joint from the CV axle if you do it this way. Stage 3 Motorsports should advise people to remove the axle nut on each side and tap the axle loose as you push down on the LCA. It can make the difference in it being a 1 hour install per side to being a nightmare, re-assembling your CV shaft or worse, having it towed to a shop. STAGE 3 MOTORSPORTS, PLEASE AMEND THIS VIDEO TO INCLUDE SUCH INFO.

This video just cost me $1k and parts are on national backorder for over a month . The drivers side was being difficult so I came back in to re-watch the video and started reading the comments . The right side went super easy after taking the axle nut off first . Why Stage 3 doesn't state to do that very simple step or take this video down is beyond me . I should have read the comment section 1st !

No way! I bought spacers, and there is so much tension on the strut that even if I sat on the rotor, I couldn’t get the strut to wiggle enough to get it out and I gave up. Upon reassembly, the cv shaft pulled out and mis-aligned and it took me a few hours to get it back in. The only way we could get it back in place was to fully remove the sway bar. This job is way harder than you guys made it look. I wish it was this easy. What a nightmare!

Loved the video and it helped me prepare for the job. Others with the 4X4 please be aware that doing it this way will very likely end up dislocating the inner or outer CV joint. Reinserting the joint is a PITA! Remove the CV axle nut and be sure the axle moves freely in the hub before you pull on the spindle to remove the strut. Ask me how I know.

Cannot beat this new Gen Ranger all around. Love my '19 XLT FX4 an I'm at 3yr pt. The Fox 2.0 kit i installed recently just made a really good truck great! Add a Roush tune & maybe cat bk performance exhaust & it flat our rips. Smooth & fast!

I just had installed the BDS 3.5 inch lift installed on my 2019 Lariat fx4 Ranger. It is badass!

Looks great even with the stock wheels and tires.

I would recommend to undo the axle nut and push the axle out of the hub so you don't end up separating the inboard joint when you push down on the control arm.

Watching this cost me an additional $1, 485.00 at the FoRd Dealership … drive shafts came out on both sides and were not seated back in either hub on the left or right (which you can’t see because of the dust covers) and broke both drive shafts. (Just like this warning states) …. Wish I would have read it 1st!

(Not to mention, I couldn’t make the VA appointment The following day that it took me 8 months to get, even being a combat vet and rated highly disabled-who the va gives higher priority to in regards to treatments.)

Getting a ride from a friend in the morning to work and hoping the Billy Cain Ford Dealership in Commerce, Ga has it fixed tomorrow.👍🏼

I recently tried having this kit installed on my 2019 Ranger FX4, but my shop ran into a problem with the tension during installation which resulted in a bent strut...I'm being compensated, but it's been an incredible waste of time...I'm now forking out extra money for the Fox Coilovers which is what I should have done to begin with...

Could you just remove the 2 lower control arm bolts to drop the coil over out of the bottom? Without messing with the upper or the cv?

Will this be the exact same process on the 2022 Tremor? Not sure if there is something different.

After that whole video, why not
Show what it looks like?? Why not show it driving? There’s an advertisement covering the vehicle with the few seconds that you showed the ending results.
