Do you have to use a second jack to get the Explorer high enough to THEN use the UniJack? Or can you get the tires off the ground using ONLY the 2 ton UniJack? I'm reading you only get 5" of lift travel on the piston of the UniJack... not enough to get ST wheels off the ground. Planning my...

Planning my first tire rotation on the ST and considering one of these UniJacks... but if I'm understanding correctly, you still need a second jack to jack up the vehicle enough to get the UniJack under it with it's jack stand extended to the 4th hole... so that THEN you can use the bottle jack...

Congrats... long time coming. It's such a relief to move past it all and enjoy my vehicle, I'm glad you're on that same path now too.

When I drove my ST home in October, the wife told me to stop checking my tracker for the original build. I stopped checking it... daily anyway. Still checked it once a week lol. Congrats on the Bronco! My salesdouche called me earlier this week and left a message saying my explorer had been...

Yea, it seems like it's an appeasement to the feds without fixing the problem. Maybe it brings the remedy for retail customers' vehicles in line with the original remedy offered to PIU's? Either way, I'm not impressed. If anything it feels like the nail in the coffin for any hope for the 4 bolt...

Awesome. Let us know how you like that color... I love how it seems to change colors depending on the light! Also, I'm kind of amazed they installed the diff brace for you! Good for you!

Thanks man, that’s the first I’ve seen of this. Funny, that’s a least five aftermarket products for this issue by my count. Probably several I don’t even know about. Either the market is reflecting the truth of the existence of a problem Ford refuses to address, or we’re all crazy and...

Nice. I can't seem to find a pic of one online, or a part number to order one...? Are we sure these aren't a figment of the imagination o_O

Hi all. I’ve read all 34 pages of this thread. I purchased my ST a few weeks ago. Love it. But Ford is definitely disappointing me. I pursued a subframe swap through my dealership with Ford and of course they said no, it’s not a mis-build, we meant to sell you an inferior vehicle! I’ll share my...

We can't expect perfection in this life, I'll give you that. But downgrading from a subframe / diff support that doesn't fail to one that does often enough to generate a tsb, recall, and at least three class action lawsuits... well, I think I have a right to expect more than that!
