The real problem is that Billy mays isn't on the TV showing you how to make it... lol. His opinion is his opinion, he has a right to it. My truck has body and suspension lifts and I like it. The body lifts don't look bad on rangers, although they look like crap on some trucks. You need to move the pivot point up 1.5 inches (on a 3" BL, 1" on a 2" BL) to make it work correctly. It is a lot of work, but it will feel and function as stock.
