suspension: http://www.ironman4x4.com/html/suspension_kits.html
I got the Torsion/Leaf with the Foam cell shocks, much less body roll and much stiffer ride

When i get back home ill get some more pics and couple of vids.

What series of USDM Ranger has the front torsion bar set up i need to find a way to level her out without affecting the axel joints and range of the suspension. I might also look to do a 2" body lift later this year any suggestions?
