thats right boys and girls my truck might be back on the road again in another week or so thanks to what came from UPS today... its my rear shocks and one of my new skyjacker leaf springs... the other one should be here tomorrow along with the front shocks... i already installed my new MOOG ball joints from rock auto last weekend... my new torsion bars are also in the picture and i just finished installing them... not too bad of a job with a $13.00 2 jaw gear puller from harbor freight... read 04edge's thread for details on how to change them if you are interested

 

You will love those leaf springs. I know Maurice's Ranger rode a heck of a lot better after putting those in.

 

he is the one that talked me into getting these... the ride cant possibly be as bad as it is now with the procomp AAL's and a broken leaf

 

Good luck, the truck is hott!

 

New Torsion Bars FTW. New Moogs FTW.



Got any info on those rear leafs? Lift, part number, stats....

 

this is them here...http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

they are a 6 inch lift but i am going to remove the stock blocks and return to the stock shackles so i should have right at ~4 inches of rear lift... i will set the torsion bars to whatever they need to be to get it level

 

looks good. keep us posted. esp. when its all done.

 

B bars?


Looks like fun. Make sure and keep us updated on how everything rides.

 

i got the #1 bars... my co-worker has pretty much the same truck as me with the #1 bars and i really liked the way it drove so i decided to go with those... hopefully i will only have torsion bars for another year or so anyway

 

hey man where did you find the #1 bars at?? i'm looking to get myself a set

 

from the ford dealer... they were like $55 each... here are the part numbers... make sure you get new bolts too

F67Z-5B326-FA Pass side
F67Z-5B326-FB Driver side

 

some great stuff you got there and installed when I eventually get mine double lifted I am going to get those leaf springs

 

this may be a stupid question with an obvious answer but I have to ask it anyways. if I was to get those leafs do they mount right in place of the stock leafs? also if I got those I could take the rear block and it would sit just about how it does with the super lift block in it right now right?

 

very nice, you really shouldnt need that degree block/wedge I wouldnt think

 

yeah i highly doubt i need that much of a wedge...


right... if you get the 6" springs like i did and use the stock shackles and no block you should have right around 4 inches of lift... and its a direct bolt in... for some reason they only list them as fitting up to 97 but they will work in all newer rangers too

 

if you can post pics of it when its done im interested and i'd love to get rid of my blocks without having to do shackles and aal. thanks

 

i cant wait to see it... you got me all excited...

 

I love the brown truck also I see my brakes just showed while I was fishing so I will have to find time to install them one of these days

 

Nice! You get the shocks I got? I am installing mine tomorrow along with all new rear drums shoes and hardware!

 

Nice, definitely need to see how it looks and hear how it rides with those leafs. My truck rides like crap right now so I think those would help me out a good amount.

 

yep i got the ones you told me about

 

Hey billy - just curious to hear how those leaf springs have been handling since you installed them - looking at buying 2 packs for my own truck of the 4" lift ones.. removing stock block.. giving me 2 in the rear...


Curious to see how they have held up for you for a good year+ now!

 

He traded his truck to his brother around a month ago I think, he still might be able to help you out though.

 

Ahh shucks - didnt catch when he did that - lets hope he hops on a little bit and notices this dug up thread of his.. noticed he was on about 4 hours ago

 

awwwwwwwwwww! thought he got the truck back for a second.......damn
