Is your car running spacers? Has a wider stance..Unless its from the fender bashed in..

ron123 · 07-26-2016, 07:23 AM

Is the plan to replace the front fender, door, mirror, and back bumper cover with OEM parts?
Then re-paint the right side of the car? You don't need to worry about a paint match with the roof on a vert!
In any case, since you picked a high caliber shop the results will mean that folks walking up to the right side of the car will think it is a brand new vehicle.

Yes, I have 25mm spacers all around. However the fender is fairly well squished in as well.

Sure do need to get it lowered a bit though...

He is replacing the fender, door and mirror (all OEM) and repairing the back bumper. The rear quarter actually escaped anything but a few scratches.

This is the shop:

Me not being an engine expert, how can a V6 motor have that much displacement (4 liters is considered big nowadays) and not have any power?

The 2006 Ford Ranger pickup is a decent performer when equipped with the 4.0-liter V6, but it tends to feel underpowered with the 3.0-liter V6 or the base four-cylinder, especially if you get the automatic transmission. 4.0-liter overhead-cam V6 rated for 207 hp and 238 lb-ft of torque

Now, keep in mind, the 4 liter (SOHC) was barely adequate for the standard Ranger. Add Supercab, 4 wheel drive and big, heavy tires and wheels and it gets "sluggish" very quickly.

The new CAI actually helped a LOT.

but it could still use some more help.
