Many on Amazon for about $350. Getting OEM from Ford will be be about $1100. Just be sure to get ones that are blind spot compatible. Then you just trade in your existing module and your good to go.

Is it factory recovery ring attached to under bumper frame? So does it mean that if I have no tow package I can use bumper ball hitch hole with soft shackle for recovery?You are correct as the instructions do spec three per side. I wanted to retain the Tremor rear recovery hooks and based on the attached, that is hiding the third bolt hole on each side. Pick of Curt mounting point for reference.

The recovery ring is part of the factory bumper cross brace only on the Tremor package and only when you don't get a factory receiver hitch. Not sure I would use a soft shackle through the factory bumper ball mount hole. The bumper wasn't rated for as much weight as a receiver hitch. I would suggest adding a receiver hitch and do recoveries leveraging the 2" receiver hitch.

I’m thinking order Curt class 3 hitch receiver. But just curious if ford attached a recovery ring to bumper brace so that should handle recovery but same time bumper towing rated for 3500lb. I’m not an engineer but it sounds weird to me.

Note the placement of the Tremor recovery rings in the photo. They are directly inline with the frame rail. Likely much stronger there as opposed to the center if the bumper. You could probably purchase the factory Tremor cross brace to get the welded on recovery rings. Note that the rear bumper has to come off to get to that cross brace as it bolts in place of the factory receiver hitch. Buying the Curt hitch is most likely going to be much cheaper.

Money pit continues! Borla exhaust with black dual tips went on. Have to say, I do love the exhaust note, definitely a bit louder when starting her up but it's a nice sound overall, not obnoxious at all.

Looked up a video on the Borla exhaust and I loved the "sounds like a Focus RS". I know video audio doesn't do it justice. Does it sound fitting for the Ranger? I kind of like the raspy sound from the sound clip.Money pit continues! Borla exhaust with black dual tips went on.

I have to say those door panels look great with the fenders.

Yeap, knowing how good the Borla exhaust sounds on the Focus (I don't have it on mine) I decided to get the Ford Performance (by Borla) for my Ranger.

John, I really like my Borla Exhaust for my Ranger. That was the third mod I did and love it. Not too loud inside the cab too!

Finished installing the Ford Performance OME lift from over the weekend. I’ll admit, it was a total pain, but my quick test drive seems nicer than stock FX4. Now just waiting for tires to come in so I can mount all new tires and wheels.
