I am ordering the 07 pre keys from TascaParts so, MY 2010 Keys are coming out (just like you wanted me to do lol). I'll see if the differance is there. If not we no it comes from the torsion bar keys on the Canadian FX4's are coming from the factory dialed up more than the CND 2010 XLT 4x4.

There were no CND 2010 Sport 4x4 at the Arnprior dealer (very small dealership).

But here's what I have found out about the CND 2010 Sport 4x4 (on the Ford.ca Ranger Spec Tab):

Front Spring Rating -

Sport 4x4 1,229kg (2,709lbs) / XLT 4X4 1,315kg (2,899lbs) / FX4 not listed ???

If we know that the CND 2010 FX4 and XLT have #1 Bars these spec would suggest that the CND 2010 Sport 4x4 has either B or F rated bars up front.

Rear spring rating -

Sport 4x4 1,179kg (2,599lbs) / XLT 4X4 1,179kg (2,599lbs) / FX4 not listed ???

This suggests that CND 2010 FX4, XLT and Sport 4x4's all have the CC Rated rear springs.

I am still going to go to buddys Ford dealership and look at the SPR ratings of the CND 2010 Sport 4x4 to be certain (as I don't trust all the typo error crap they put up on sites for specs lol).

Whats the verdict? I just bought a 2010 FX4 and I want to do the keys. It has the rancho shocks. Where on the vin does it tell me what I have? Does anyone use shackles for the rear for an extra 1" ?
Thanks
