Some new pics after some mods/upgrades...
I have a thread up of my project: https://www.ranger-forums.com/forum2...ad.php?t=75038
There's many more pics on that thread too of the project in progress.
Here's some pics I took yesterday since it was nice out:

The shock upgrade is great. I've ridden around town and did some fast runs on a dirt farm road yesterday and so far it rides much softer and has more control than my old shocks (Rancho RSX's).

No, I'm not planning on widening the front suspension at all yet...the DixonBrosRacing kit is too expensive right now haha. The pictures make it look worse than it is. The fenders do stick out past the tires about 2" or so, but it looks much better in person. In reality the fenders make it totally possible to run 32's with the stock suspension arms without rubbing. So, even though they may flare out a bit more than needed they function to provide necessary tire clearance.

When the bars are fully cranked there is just bit of camber issues so I de-cranked the t-bar bolts a bit to try and decrease the camber and poor tire wear which has happened to me in the past. The tire wear isn't terrible but I needed to flip my tires on the wheel half way through their wear cycle.

The grille is actually color matched to the bumper. Not a perfect color match but really close...it's not silver but rather the cream/almond white. I see that it looks silverish in the pictures though.

I'm thinking of painting the white bumper and grille a gray/gunmetal teflon color. Not actual teflon (which would be awesome) but just the color in a matte finish. I don't want black, that's too plain...and if I ever get a whole set of Teflon Mojave wheels they'd sort of match the bumpers. The wheel in the below picture looks darker than it is in person. The teflon color is much lighter and pretty much exactly the same shade as cooking pans with a teflon coating, which looks great.
Any comments on that?
