I still sell them.
I use PayPal, and the best way to get in touch with me is through email. I'm not on here all that often, so I don't see these posts.

Hey do you happen to have any pics of the upper bracket relocation?? That sounds like a great idea to get more travel out of the suspension and kind of what I would like to do as well....
Thanks for your time...

Is this just for 4x4 and edge trucks? Would it work on 2wd trucks?

Coilover conversion help

Does anyone know why my coil overs are hitting on my a arm. Is there no down travel allowed if you want the truck at cranked torsion bar height.

Finished my swap using ME00Stepsides kit and it’s awesome

I feel guilty for taking so long to post this but better late than never. Still need to weld in my limiting straps and bump stops but for daily driving (mostly highways) it’s okay without them. The swap was definitely worth it the brackets were awesome! I posted a lot about it on my Instagram (@spookytheranger) go check it out I have a bunch of videos on it and am currently working out making one with everything you need to know all in one. I also posted how much it cost me start to finish doing the work myself and where I got every piece and part.

Yes they're available. I emailed the guy who makes them and ordered a set just this morning (12/9/20). Email him with the info he asks for and he's very responsive. I paid $335 for a set to be shipped to me in Wisconsin and ME00stepside said he'd email me the tracking number when he ships them out in the next few days.

Spookytheranger... Sorry to thread hijack. I tried to message but for some reason it wouldn't go through. Was on your instagram, the headache rack you have is exactly what I'm looking for. What is it/where did you get it from?

Again, please don't ban me mods!

Thanks.

Posting updated pricing and order info, with the additional information (in red, underlined, for emphasis). It seems that not everyone is aware, and I had a recent issue with someone who is unwilling to wait for these made-to-order custom pieces after they placed the order.

Pricing:
$335 shipped to the US
$375 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

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 pics of your install!

Note: these are usually made to order. I place the order with the shop when I receive payment. There are 3 different steps involved, so please be patient once you have ordered: First the main shop cuts all of the pieces, and makes the spacers. Second, the welder assembles them. Third, they are sent to the powder coat shop for finishing. Each step typically runs anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. During this time, I make sure that I have the hardware I need, so that when I get them back from powder coat, I can simply box them up and ship them out. Right now, the average turn around time is about 5 weeks, but I tell everyone 4-6 weeks to be safe.

Email is always the best method to get in touch with me:

sbeau1 (at) metrocast (dot) net
I don't come on here very often, and usually when I do, I find a message that is at least a few weeks old.

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.

Please keep us updated on your attempts to contact him. As he does not visit this forum regularly, I watch this thread closely to make sure there aren't numerous people having issues contacting him (in case he stops producing these). I don't have any contact info for him or a better way to reach him, so you guys need to keep us updated when you aren't able to reach him at first.

Just sold my Ranger and couldn't find the time to do the conversion.
I'm looking to sell my kit. Message me if you're interested.
