i bought the truck dec of 99, the only v6 they had were reg cabs, my dad talked me into the ext cab for more room but again less power(if i had the v6 it would be supercharged now haha), he explained the gearing to me that even though its a 4banger it will still get up and go do to the gears, so i was like ok whatever but now im glad i bought it because i loved the extra space it has

I hear ya My 98 is an ext cab but the back is filled with my subs so its like having a reg cab truck.

Im not a big guy so when i bought my 07 I opted for the reg cab since I dont plan on a system and another excuse not to carry my friends around. It is nice having the room in the ext cab though.

so I just did the alignment last night at my shop, umm 4 1/2 hours trying to get everything right with factory cams.. wow sooo if anybody thinks it's crazy to charge like 800 dollars to put there kit on and align it.. that is why.. the kit it's self is easy yes, but then you throw off your thrust angle in the rear, caster, camber, toe.. I had to slot my drivers lower control arm to allow more movement. seeing as how ford old put a cam on the lower control arm on the passengers side.. stupid jerks.. anyways back to work people

you made off damn good then, because getting those arms for free is worth 400+ alone, plus coils and such you basically got a 600 kit for free.

sell the shackles on here they will lift any ranger 2 inches they are the same as chevy drop shackles see if anyone wants to trade u stock shackles for 2 inch lifting shackles..
