camburg 5.5 build soon

depending on the hours i work this month and how much over time i get, i will be doing a camburg 5.5 w/ deavers and shackles end of october or around thanksgiving for sure since i should have atleast 2-3days off then... i hope ha.

ill put on fiberglass fenders on at the same time and wait til i put an explorer rear end to do the bed sides.

2.0s up front and bedcage will come after i get the suspension to settle and have some extra cash to spend.


and my truck is an 07 so it will be the first NEW ranger ive seen that has been modified other than a spindle lift

so i should be ordering the 5.5kit in 2weeks.
i will get the kit and instead of the bilestiens 5100, i am going to run a FOX shock that bolts into stock location and is able to be re vavled.

i will do the same for the rear with FOX shocks in factory location since i dont want to cut the bed up except for the area where the shackles will pivot, but that will be boxed in.

A-arm gussets will get welded on too
i will probally install air bumps also, not sure what brand, but just something to smooth out the really bumpy terrain and big hits.
lower control arms will get internal gussets and boxed in(as much as possible to still allow for the balljoint to be changed out.


upgraded steering wont get installed until stock fails
