hey....Grant's ebrake line is fried just like that one too! lol. Must be a common problem with flips that nobody's talked about?

 

Yeah you can replace just that section of line. It's only the rubber or plastic protective coating....around the cable there's a steel sleeve...so that cable should be good to go as far as usability.

 

so......its ok the way it is as long as i take care of relocating it somehow?

and sorry for the thread jack, but this is probably really good info to have for the flipped axle guys.

 

So I kinda read through this thread briefly... I have to say I like the look of your truck dropped like that. Even with those rims, though I've always had a soft spot for 'em.
Also, I was gonna say to Smakes, why don't you just disassemble the sway-bar if you're gonna ship it? It'd fit in a long box pretty well in 3 pieces, I'd think. Just a thought...

Anyway nice drop. I would drop mine if I didn't like driving over stuff so much. lol

 

disassemble? the end links dont make it odd, its the bulge that sits over your diff that makes it an odd shape

 

Wrap it in bubble wrap and tape and hand it to UPS. I'm sure they would ship it..?

 

wrap that puppy up with carboard, throw an address on it, ship it! I've shipped so many weird shaped items before.

 

lol well there ya go smakes.

now you HAVE to ship me one
hahaha

 

i dont HAVE to ship you a dam thing lol

i could be a nice guy and take time out of my day to go pull one and then ship it to you, for a nominal price that is

but now i see billy reading the thread, wich makes me think hes gonna want me to ship him a 1" bar aswell

 

Might as well ship grant one too bud...time to give yours up now too. lol.

 

deal, but you gotta ship me the cobras right meow

 

hahahaha. Sancho....you should totally get a 4x4 front sway bar. I drove grants last night, something he NEVER lets me do, and oh my lord!!! That thing handles the curves soooo effin' good!! 4x4 front sway + 3/4 bII rear....mind you...this is without a bed even. Doesn't like bumps all to well having no weight back there, but oh my that thing STOPS LIKE A MOTHER!!! His project thread will be updated in a few days.

 

thats the next thing on my list, 4x4 front bar

 

lol if you do, tell me how much you want

and which 4x4 bar are you guys talkin about? ranger, b2, explorer?

 

98+ ranger 4x4 front bar...bolts right in place of your small stocker on a 98+ 2wd. The Thunderbolt trucks came with 4x4 front sway bars on 'em. Smakes truck? No clue. lol.

 

oh wtf?....man....totally didnt know there was even a difference!

well i guess my rangers gettin jacked tomorrow lol...considering i dont even run my endlinks on it.

 

yea idk, im gonna have to get a good look at a 4x4 ranger my gen to see if the mount is the same

 

ill take pics tomorrow when i take mine off. might give you an idea?

 

your gen and my gen arent the same, so things are going to be mounted differently ( i suspect)

 

All you ever see those wheels on are 4x4s. i have to say they look like pure sex on a lowered truck! looks good man!

 

Looks good man. Low but not too low.

 

Who says a trailer hitch has no place on a lowered truck?

Looking good, just zip tie the e-brake cable to the axle so it doesn't hit the exhaust, or chop the exhaust off, and you're golden! Bet it feels really low now driving it, that will go away, and then you'll have to drop it again.

 

Alan ship me one of those Sway Bars while your at it, I will pay you :-D

 

looks good man!

 

just looked at the E- brake cable, and its far enough away from the exhaust pipe, but in a few weeks the exhaust elbow will be removed... she is not going any lower
