the front is nearly finish,

 

It's coming together nicely!

 

so bad ***. but im confused, whats with the jeep? one min its like your doin it to the jeep and the next your ranger

 

the jeep pic where to show what kind of job my friend are doing at there shop.

 

should have found a high pinion ford 9 inch

 

downtravel

Had some driving shaft issues in the front but it should be corrected this week, to much down travel. We maxed the double joint even before the drop.

 

Holy crap!!!

 

wow thats huge lol

 

looking great! nice job!

 

will say im quite jelous of the hydro assist.....and the amount of downtravel...thats rediculous. but like i said on pirate...those fenderflares....well they just bring the suck lol

 

First road trip back home and everything works perfectly even the abs modification seems to work.

 

Awesome! Those flares are sick!

 

Thats sick, hey Fred you should come down here so I can see it in person.

 

holy ****ing downtravel....!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

holy freaking travel! can we get some flex pics...cus im really stoked for this!!!!!!!!!!

 

Just awesome!!

 

Finally had time to make the front driveshaft (well not me but my friend). We had a major trouble with normal cv joint at ride heigh the joint at the yoke was an inch over so ill be the first to test wide angle cv agricultural joint for them.

Its suppose to endure 250hp on a pto so will see how long it will last on my truck, first test next weekend.
3 link front set-up

 

nice rig!

seems odd that your driveshaft maxed out on down travel?

how much droop do you have?

 

After looking at your 3 link setup i would imagine your caster changes as well as your pinion angle during droop, which makes the driveshaft change angle as well.

 

wow. surprised you got the driveshaft to fit without crossmember mods..

 

Maybe I missed it but why is the tranny and t-case raised like that?

 

Didnt want the third link to be on one side only, wanted it in the middle so the easy solution was to raise the mechanic 3 inch has i have a 3 inch bl, it gave us the clearance we needed plus theres no mechanic under the frame rail ill just have to put a nice flat pan to protect everything. For the drop at ride heigh i have 9 to 10 inch of downtravel plus the mechanic is 3 inch higher so the driveshaft has a lot of angle on it.

 

ha good call, no wonder you had driveshaft issues.

 

Tried the driving shaft to so if i had vibration and up to 70kmh nothing so ill be good for next winter, pass that i dont know it was enought for me on dry pavement.

 

Nice 9”er, sweet… I have a question though and not criticizing.
The Detroit, yes by far the best locker out there, yes the locked rear is a must for off-roading.
Since the back of the Ranger is sssooo lite and the Detroit may never differentiate, why not just run a spool, a lot cheaper ?

Again your call not mine but just thinking on it.
I am running a D60 in the rear of a Jeep (CJ8) w/Detroit and it does not let go at all and corners are all chirps.
If I had it to do again and to save some money I guess a spool would be a good idea.
Just wanted to hear what you thought.
