im finding things are hard for the 2nd gen guys here, after a lot of searching, i find theres a lot of pertinent info but most of it applies to the later models. couple of ?'s i was hoping someone could answer so i can decide if this 3" BL idea is worth it.

keep in mind i have a 1991 ranger w/no AC

can the t-case lever be extended? does it even need to be? will the 4-low engage with the BL installed? (some guys with later models have problems with this i see) i HAVE to have 4-low work

does the steering linkage need to be extended?

how about the fuel filler neck? extended?

finally any hoses or lines (radiator, vacuum, etc) need extending?

am i missing anything?

i talked with the PA rep on the phone today and her said none of these things apply but i wanted to check with the community here and talk with 2nd gen guys that have actualy installed a 3" BL.

thanks in advance for your help!

 

have you ever read the body lift instructions, the kit comes with the steering linkage and the filler neck extension and it comes with radiator drop brackets.

 

The BL kit should come with a steering shaft extension. I have had no problems with mine, but I'm not a second gen. just wanted to let you know about the steering extension.

damn, beat me to it by a few seconds.

 

there is no instructions online at PA, i checked, its part #833, theres no record of that kit

 

superlift offers a bl also check their site.

thanks for the replies so far, unfortunately Superlifts install instruction page is down atm, ill check back. PA's site doesnt list any details about the kit, so i didnt know it would include any extensions for steering or radiator brackets. im still uneasy about the t-case linkage...

 

the tcase will be fine you will have enough room to still shift it did you read anything i posted above or look at summit racing

 

good info, much needed, idk why PA doesnt have this on their own site. still no mention of a fuel filler neck extension (it just says you better have enough slack) and it doesnt address the t-case linkage at all. is it only the later gens that have a problem with this? i guess if it comes down to it, ill just notch the floor or fab an xtension if needed.

i wish there was a section for the 2nd gen guys here

 

what are you worried about the tcase? it not being long enough? or what

 

from the many threads ive read it sounds that a good amt of owners cant get there t-case into 4-low after the BL install, i wanna be sure mine will

 

it should go into low, you may need to trim the body some but doubtful

alright well thanks for the help guys, maybe ill get out the old digital camera and do a write up for the 2nd gen guys since i cant find any 2nd gen BL writeups for the life of me on this forum or others. thanks again.

 

that beards shifter and he can get into 4l

 

what if you wanted to keep the shift boot? im sure theres a way to extend the shaft. is that a 3" BL?

 

you can keep the boot it just sinks it down in some and yes thats a 3 inch bl
