I have never had a tranny in the bed of the truck and mine slants on the passengers side real bad. I think what did it is when i fell in that hole a while back...but i do need to get it checked out. Maybe some new shocks...body lift....33"s...

Hope we did not put the BL on wrong....

Are the BL blocks a solid piece? If not could the driver side have slightly bent or crumpled? Other than that I really dont know, I wouldnt figure it would be enough weight to make the leafs start to sag...

My truck does that, it leans to the drivers side in the rear, I thought it my have something to do w/ the torsion bars or something?

thats a common thing for these rangers ...you must have never hauled anything heavy in the back!
thats y my truck sits down in the back...haulin rocks,dirt,motors,trannys,boats,trailers.......all of the heavy stuff!

sorry doesnt really pertain. TReff, how do you like your t-bar crank? did it lift the front any? do you still have your front sway bar?

xiler8d · 02-02-2005

1 things is for sure, shocks wont help your problem. you over exerted your leaf spring. only way to fix it is to have both rear leafs re-arched to even them out.

love it..it raised the front end up almost 2in ...BUT its alot stiffer ride! that doesnt bother me..
and yes I still have my sway bar..dont go off road much with these thornbirds!(they SUCK every where but DRY pavement..lol)
when i get my 35's i may take it off but i doubt it! you loose alot of frontend stability..not good for highway driving...Which i do alot of some times!
Its really all on how and where you drive the truck the most! you dont want to get to crazy cranking the t-bars all the way and taking the swaybar off if you are on the highway alot...

I have taken tons of crap in my bed and it never leans at all hmmmm

TReff · 02-02-2005

cause yours is a 93 ..everything has settled by now

**Redneckstone** · 02-02-2005

very true but my buddy's 95 sags so bad to the driver side we have to fix it, looks like crap. I think my truck just loves me to much to **** me off

optikal illushun · 02-02-2005

mine doesnt sag and my dads doesnt and we hauled a 300 and tranny several times not to mention we loaded em both down before many times...oh wait i gotta fullsize :-p

redranger4.0 · 02-02-2005

i have hauled 1900 pounds in the ranger and not had a problem with it sitting funny.

**Trevelyn1015** · 02-02-2005

i had over 2000lbs of lanscaping stones in the bed once..(thought they were 30lbs each... turned out they were 65... oops)

it doesn't lean, it just sags alot if any weight is put in it...
