Now you have. Of course my Ranger is a BS edition. It's got an extended cab but with no wing doors and with Level II door panels.

Still better than my 2wd L/S.

Locker for each wheel, Locker for the engine, a locker for the trans, a locker for the 2 rear diffs. Oh and a locker for the front axle too.

So my 2008 XLT 4x4 sits lower than like an FX4 does. Besides bigger tires, what makes them sit higher? Like are they mechanically different?

Ford lowered Rangers in 08 by an inch to help with gas mileage. Fail

Keys were indexed different and smaller lift blocks in the rear.
