96 2.3 flareside suspension tune 2wd
 

This is my DD and my third ranger, one was rolled and the other rear ended and totaled by a drunk driver. I love subarus and ford trucks, I am looking to get my ranger to handle to its full potential, low cost (all my money is going to my subaru build).
Suggestions appreciated

As of now I am running,
- KYB GR2s,
- Rousch Rear Sway Bar /washers added for better movement
- 1 inch wheel spacer on the rear,
- stock tires,
- hawk pads up front

Parts from my other trucks I want to add:
- Rousch front sway bar from my 02 2wd, looks different than my current front sway
might have to make endlinks to get it to work.
- 8.8 disc assembly with hawk pads

Thinking about:
polyurethane leaf spring bushings
leaf spring shackles lower less than an inch,
maybe front springs lower than inch, low cost though
tires eventually
Ma

thoughts suggestions thanks wes

nobody likes a daily driver that handles alright? lol

my the two rangers before were lifted, one had the 2wd fabtech, the other 4wd was torsion key and add a leaf

Its a ranger not a race car.

If you want the best ride get good tires, coilovers, lower it and then drive it. Or buy a sports car.

i like to tinker with suspensions be it trucks, cars, motorcycles mainly supermoto bikes

I have a rally car. 94 legacy 2.2turbo with 4.44forester xt drivetrain, sti springs and struts, 4 pistons front calipers, ap racing pedal box with titlon dual piston manual brakes, no brake booster, abs/a/c, delete, sti bell downpipe, straight three inch pipe to a magnaflow race muffler, interior is gutted, no radio. sparco seat with 5 point harness, srt4 msd coil pack with magnacore ignition wires. 02 wrx rack and steering column

Tires. Nice wide tires.

Who says a truck cant handle like a sports car?

yeah man i agree, a little toe in adjustment on the front, there was a truck in the grassroots racing issue this month that threw down a badass lap time hahah.

I am going to stay away from wider tires for the winter for now

little update, put two inch wheel spacers on the back, and big metal washers on the rear sway to help it move around only did this because i was already had the tank down for the front leaf mount i was replacing. moved the skinny snow tires to the front.
