looking into swapping solid front axle in my ranger and leaf springs looks far easier than coils and cheaper than coil-overs. I was wondering what steering gearbox you used? did you use the same rs44044 springs all the way around? any information is helpful and much appreciated.

Wow it's been a while for an update. Got the tablet replaced btw. And I did a thing last month too. Other than that it just sits here looking good in the driveway
OK, so here I sit broken hearted... what mirrors, looks like F150 stuff, where the "How-To" ?
Are they electric; the wiring on the ground under the door would indicate to me that the mirror have power adjustments, and I'm thinking at least direction lights ?

Springs in the front are the same ones you said but I added an extra leaf into the pack. Steering box is from a 95 Toyota 4runner

Ltr
These mirrors are off a 2014 duramax I believe. They have complete power functions. Even marker lights and turn signals. I have the wire run for the heater too, but have been too lazy to hook it up.

No how to for them, I just kinda winged it
Ok on where they came form also on the How-To, how much notifications were needed to fit ?
The Mirrors are big !
I was thinking F-150, your work is inspiring, need to look at the F-150 Mirrors.
Small update: my 7.3 has been in and out of the shop lately and the ranger needed a fuel pump, so I got to do my first fuel pump ever. Thankfully I could unhook everything because of the body lift, so I just dropped the tank, rather than pulling the bed.
So after the fuel pump issue was resolved, I've been able to put some miles on the truck
Why don't you tell the nice people why it needed a new fuel pump so they know how to keep it from happening on their own trucks?
Alright- fine. Had to change the pump because I hardly even touch the ranger anymore now that I have a real truck to drive and spend time on when I'm not in my company truck.
Dewey's truck was so nice before he ruined it and then neglected it. Now it sits and rots, with moss and other growths slowly bringing it further into the ground. So sad.
I mean, He's not wrong, It hasn't run in months. My battery maintainer crapped out and all 3 of my batteries went bad.
It also has a bad rear brake caliper and by now I'm sure there's air in the system so the brakes are worthless too. Time to send it to the scrapyard.

What happened, at least put it on blocks, get it off the ground !
It is a good looking Ranger !
He bought a Powerstroke and jumped onto the "Rangers are lesser trucks bandwagon" and just neglects it now. Joke is on him though, his Powerstroke has been more unreliable than his Ranger.
got some questions
