98+ SAS with JD components
Ok so here it is, After reading about someones bolt on SAS with JD components on a <97 ranger it occurred to me why cant this be done with a 98+ ranger. Yeah you are gonna have to take a lot of measurements and work it a little differently but whats so different about it. The steering will need worked but if you look at a stripped down IFS frame you have tons of room for coil buckets on there and a track bar mount. Then radius arm mounts are no big deal. Am I missing something here??

I think he is wanting to use the duff "packaged parts" so he doesn't have to worry about buying things seperately and having to hunt down different stuff. If its conveniently located on a site it makes it that much easier on the buyer. It will require work regardless if you use a bolt on kit or not, just some will have a little less than others

I dont want an off road rig or anything crazy like that. Ive got a dedicated trail rig already. I just really want rid of stupid unit bearings, stupid cv style axle shafts, stupid rack and pinion steering, and stupid PVHs. I would only lift the truck like 2 inches total if I did it, just enough to flex and not hit the crossmember with the diff.

Made my weekend. I'll text yah.
Yeah, that's the problem I'm having with SASing my coil spring Ranger. Right now I'm looking at frame swapping for a 4x4 conversion instead of SASing simply because of the front cross member. Between the engine cross member that the LCAs mount to and the stupid integrated coil buckets there isn't room for anything under there.
