Coil to torsion what do I need?
I'm doing a lot of front end work on my ranger and I'm thinking about going from coil to torsion but I don't even know what I need to do or if it's even possible ... We'll anything possible but without fabricating parts. I'm thinking 4x4 upper and lowers with the 4in lift spindle steering knuckles and the stuff for the torsion bars. Has anyone ever done this and it's my daily driver so I want to be able to keep a good alignment. The biggest thing I'm wondering is will the 4x4 upper and lowers work with a 4x2 knuckle and be alineable

you'd be better off selling your current truck and buying one that has torsion bars. the frames and suspension components of the two trucks are completely different from the cab forward.
and if you want to do a 4x4 swap, buy a 4x4. you will spend way too much time, effort, and money attempting to convert a 2wd to 4x4.

^ switching a 2wd torsion bar truck was easy, 2wd coil truck would be a definate challenge. It had been done before, but I'd look into a solid axle if you are going to consider going through with all that work. Switching tranny, bolting up a transfer case and rear drive shaft is the easy part... Front end is tricky but still possible. Look at the solid axle swap section here, if you do your homework and have some fabrication skills anything can be done. Otherwise just selling and getting a 4x4 is an easy way to do it
