My credo
A properly suspensioned Ranger can be safely airborne for up to 4 seconds at a time! =:O
... of course I had to pry them up a bit to remove Ye Olde RUSTED-to-hell OEM lines, and install the purdy stainless steel replacements, BUT... I don't want to hammer them back down and cause a PINCH... 🤯

... maybe my channel-locks will open far enough to get some purchase on the rusty tubes, and gently squeeze them back in place...?

In any event, should I wrap that section of the tubes with silicone tape or is that too OCD...? :icon_twisted:

Thanks in advance!
