I am using my ranger because every truck you see dropped is a dime, toy or nissan. I want something not eveyone has. I am planning on swapping to 2x4 cause the drivetran is junk anyways. I'd use ford parts but seince ford used I beams up front I could never get as low as I want. so I will need to use the front setup from a dime or Toy. also it is alot cheaper going to the junkyard and pickup the few parts I need to fabricate into the ranger than it is to go buy a whole new truck.

well, I am thinking of building a complete frame for it and just dropping everything on that.. I am not shure how the stock frame would hold up to a diffrent set up. it is not torsion bars like my ZR2 so I can prob lower a little but I eventually want to bag it.... I don't know never worked with a smaller ford most of my freinds having me lifting or dropping fullsize trucks. this is just something I picked up cheap specifically for this (and I can write everything off for advertisement if I bring it to a show) so if sink some cash into it no worries.

The company that makes them slips my mind ATM, but you can search ebay for "dream beams" and you should find a few there.
Oh and swapping 4x4 to 4x2 will require a transmission from a 4x2 truck. Output shaft is larger on the 4x4 trans, so the shaft in the extension housing wont fit on it.
