Welcome to the world of 'Car Guy' young Padawan.
Now pick which variant of the tribe you prefer:
OEM Purist / Garage Queen (The factory knows best, despite a thousand compromises)
Mall Crawler / Coffee Club / Car Show (Assumes PPF stops bullets)
Rock Crawler (you like replacing CV joints...
Squeaking can happen with those rod ends. This spray is at most NAPA's and works great for me.
I have taken my Foutz long travel down to Baja and KOH every year and I cant kill them (yet). Its been like 2 years.
have.
I cant speak to the exact tune or the SAS 2.0. I had the 3.0, then kings, and then a extreme Ride setup. That being said I dont think the 2.0 is anywhere near the class of a Ride or King at any level.
I do think too many people hope for out of the box perfection without doing more homework...
The Arizona Raptor Run group advocates for that as well. Apparently they had a guy out solo who rolled his truck and was suspended upside down and could not then get the seat belt to release since it carried all his weight.
It was a trade off:
ABC powder is significantly more corrosive than Purple-K. ABC uses mono ammonium phosphate, which melts under heat into a sticky, acidic, and highly corrosive residue that destroys electronics and metals. Purple-K uses potassium bicarbonate, which creates a dry, alkaline...
I did industrial safety and first responder training for about 15 years.
I went with a Purple K 2.5# at the base of my seat (Desert Does it mounts) and a 2.5 ABC at the base of the the passenger seat. Purple K is more affordable then straight halotron stuff.

I have had creaking from the C Brace bolts loosening. Also dust in there can even do it.
I did the GOAT B Brace and the Ford Performance C brace. Happy I did both, but the B brace made the biggest difference for the vehicle. I believe I was cracking windshields just through body flex hauling...
Desert Does It makes these seat jackers that lift the front of the seat a bit. Cheap enough and made a big difference in comfort and staying seated in rough roads. In general good seats though.
Went through all that same stuff, but under warranty. My dealer added s ome custom code and it went away, but its giving me a new error about it not having a VIN. I have had a few other errors where I suspect the BCM to be suspect.
I did this, without a rely. I ordered a new headlight switch from Ford (about $55) with the fog switch built in, and simply tapped the pre-existing fog wiring near the headlight. Works on auto, so I used the road legal wiring for the fog switch, and used an upfitter switch for the 'full blaze'...
I have the Mishi Moto one and my coolant temps stay fine, I do get higher than I prefer oil temps at 85 mph on 37's. I also live at 7,000' with less dense air and mildly tuned.
