Peacing together a new suspension
So im going to be buying some parts here soon because i just bought another car to drive around in while i work on my truck.
Here are the specs on my truck as it stands.
1992 Ford Ranger ext. cab 3.0l v6 engine
4" pro comp lift. with bilstein reservoir shocks
Running some wrangler tires because im trying to save on fuel.
2wd
But anyways i have saved up some cash and the parts im buying are as follows.
1. Camburg Extended I-Beams (limo style) so instead of 4.5 inches wider they are 7.5 inches wider.
2. Camburg Heim joint Radius Arms.
3. Racerunner coilover 2.5 shocks. 14"
4. Giant motorsports engine cage(dual shock mounts)
5. New steering
6. 8 Point Rollcage desinged and being built by my buddy.
7. Custom bed cage that connects to the roll cage.
8. Camburg 3 link rear end.
9. New Tires and rims.
But thats pretty much my list of stuff im buying for it. Gonna cost a **** load but thats why i bought a honda to save on gas money. XP
But i will post pics in the future when this all starts happening.
Also does anyone know if the camburg I beams come wiht mounts or do i have to buy them. If i have ot buy them where? Because right now im runnign drop brackets. which suck.
Here are some pics:
My doors are off a bronco it was a scholl project actually we wired up the auto windows and door locks ourselves got an A but never got it painted.
Oh and i flared my back fenders also and i have a flowmaster 40 on the exhaust. Been pulled over a couple times and the only thing the cop said was that sounds nice. lol

ok so all that stuff listed was me dreaming lol but i have a new list:
1. Bent and boxed beam's that my buddy is selling. (5.5 inch lift) $160
2. James Duff radius arms ~$200
3. Fabtech Coils (5.5 inch lift) ~$200
4. James Duff Coil Buckets ~$200
5. (4) Bilstien Shocks (Two resevoir the other two just shocks) ~$300-400
6. New Tire's and Rim's $800
7. Flared Fenders Front $200
So yeah that is my list. Grand Total=$2160
Not to bad considering it is gonna be long travel. But yeah im pretty stoked. Ill get some pics of the Beams up on Monday when i go and buy them. This suspension will slowly get put together piece by piece then i am going to put it all on myself in the end. So yeah what do you guys think?
