JunkYardRanger build pics
These are pics from right after I bought it to how it is sitting almost done
The original truck is a 95 Ranger XLT4x4, 4.0 M50DR1 trans and 1354 case
June of 2008 I removed the factory 8.8 and 35 TTB front and installed a dana 60 rear FF and a Dana 44 HD front the truck had a total of 16 inches of lift which consisted of a 3 in body lift 6 in front chevy lift springs, and 7 inches of perch. The rear utilized Factory 1977 F250 high boy springs and a 4 in block I built it on a set of 38 swampers on 16.5 x 10 steel wheels once the build was complete I changed the tires to 39.5 Boggers on 16.5 x 12 MT classic II wheels
The truck remained like that until February when I decided to tear it apart to go bigger. I replaced the axles with 2.5 ton GM axles. I flipped the front axle to make it standard rotation. because this is a huge budget build, I made tall perches instead of larger springs to raise the truck 6 more inches. the rear perches are 10 in tall and the fronts are 5in tall. the reason I say 6 inches of lift added the new axles have 4 in dia tubes and the old are only 3 in. With going larger I added a small sub frame to lower my ladder bar angle and help protect my second transfer case I added which is a dana 24. The tires I am going to be running as seen in the last picture, are 14.00 - 24 R4 grader tires. I still have to finish my sub frame, my rear drive shaft front shocks and rims for my tires .... I have not taken updated pics since I installed the second case and the front shaft My interior was stripped down to dash and 2 racing seats. Once I finish up the build I will adding a 8 point cage and eventually a 466 BB

A block goes inbetween the spring perch and leaf spring a perch is a solid one piece can not slip, slide, or turn . ..... we all know what the spring perch is on the axle and most people when they lift a truck reuse factory springs and will add anywhere from 2 to 6 inches of block ..... the block just sits inbetween the perches I built take place of the block it is solid 3/8 steel welded together and welded to the axle like a flat perch ... my perches are just 10 in tall .... and no I do not have any of the factory parts left

Lowering a 4x4 is like lifting a 2x4 it is useless point less and just plain ol stupid
ok u think they are scary, but if tall perches are scare and so so so unsafe why did the original monster trucks run them and jump cars ...I guess I am stupid I donno. But I do know Opinions are like a$$holes , we all got them and some talk more **** then others
