sweet but extend those radius arms to get more flex

 

not interested in the whole wheelin/flexin aspect more so the control and handling. its my DD and occassional trail rig (just chuggin along). after riding in my friends SAS'd 96 it was 10x nicer than the TTB.

 

Rxtending your radius arms shoulld affect any ride and handling issues (If I am wrong, tell me lol). IMO even if you are not going to be wheeling it daily, you might as well do things right the first timre. It saves you alot of trouble in the end.

What are you going to do for the rear end? Are you keeping the rear axle and running spacers/adapters?

 

right on dude. I have that same axle in my garage cept from a bronco

 

Wait a minute, this isnt for a ranger...its for my 93 F-150.

 

**** lol, I saw TTB and I automaticly thought ranger haha, that and it is on a ranger website lol

good luck though and this thread truly is worthless without pics, even if it is just the crap laying around

 

check the first post

 

i knew f150 since i saw you signature a while ago

 

added more pictures. got about 1/2 the axle torn down today. gunna place an order on JBG soon for some parts (ball joints, misc. hardware, lift coils).

ill get the rest torn apart wednesday evening and start the cleaning/rebuild portion.

 

added more pics from last night, got the axle all torn down. gears look to be in good shape, no play in the bearings and the pinion is nice and tight. the u-joints are like new (still shiney) so im leaving them go. ordered some more parts (brake calipers, brake pads, bushings, spindle bearings, inner axle seals). gunna clean some more **** up today and get organized a little more.

 

ok got most of the parts, gotta get some pictures of the axle all torn down and of the parts.

after i get this done, maybe sarahs ranger will be next :-D
