Guys, I just want to let you know that I'm still making these. The best way to reach me is via email, as I don't always seem to get my private message notifications.

Pricing:
$315 shipped to the US
$350 shipped to Canada

Kit includes:
4 brackets (2 upper, 2 lower)
4 gussets to reinforce shock tower
2 shock tower spacers for upper mounts
8 rod end spacers (for 1/2" wide rod ends--like Fox)
All hardware to install--grade 8 zinc plated

Stainless steel hardware is available for an additional $30

What else you will need:
2 coilover shocks
2 coil springs
2 limit straps and brackets (do NOT skip these!)

What you may need:
Bump stops if you are lifting your truck at the same time, but if you already have a Superlift, or if you are remaining at stock height, you can reuse what you have. You simply need to trim back the bracket on the frame where the bump stop mounts, so that the coilover will clear it. You then redrill a hole in the remaining part of the bracket and mount the bump stop further in. Depending on your bumpstop, you may want to have a tab welded onto your LCA to give you a flatter area for the bump stop to contact. I would suggest moving the bump stop before you have the gussets welded, so you can have this done at the same time.

To order:
1. Send payment to sbeau1 (at) metrocast (dot) net.
.......include in your instructions that it's for Ranger coilover brackets, and your R-F user name
2. Post in this thread that you've sent payment.
3. check in on the thread for updates.
4. Post pics of your install!

Thanks to all of you guys for the support in making these. I'm happy to be able to offer something to the RBV community.

This thread is now a sticky. I don't know why it hasn't been already. Now it will be easier to find for people in the future.

Ryan,

I just looked back through my transactions and found yours, and double checked my shipments to make sure I hadn't shipped it.
My apologies. I'm not sure how it slipped through the cracks. You ordered stainless hardware, which I believe I'm out of.
I'm going to check my stock and order if necessary. I'll get your kit out ASAP and email you the tracking number.

Guys, my turn around time right now is about 6 weeks. If anyone orders and doesn't get communication from me one status or a tracking number, please email me. It should never take over 2 months, and if something delays, I will get the emails out to anyone who is waiting. Occasionally people have got my email address wrong, and I didn't get payments, but when they message me, we have figured it out quickly. Please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm busy, but I will check on any questions as soon as I can.

I'm new to this forum, i've been searching far and wide for the brackets for the Coilover conversion. I finally stumbled onto this forum.

Do you still build the kits?

Well, I finally got the quotes on the parts.

I can have these made through one of the suppliers I deal with.

Here's the info:

1/4" steel, laser cut, black powder coat finish (blasted and phosphate treated for optimum adhesion)

$125/set plus shipping (probably around $15-20 for continental US)

This is for all four brackets, no hardware. If people would rather have hardware some with it, I can figure that out and put a "kit" price out there.

Is there any chance these are still available?

I think so. I emailed ME00Stepside a week or so ago and am waiting for a reply myself.

Coilover Brackets

Hello,
I just purchased the 4" Superlift kit and Fox shocks and Eibach coils and now I need the brackets to start my project on my 2008 FX4. Can you please tell me how I go about getting your kit ordered and purchased. Thank you so much!

Icon4 Bump stops

Would it be possible to completely remove the stock mounting point for the rubber bump stops and replace with gas charges bump stops?? Would there be any benefit?
