So, driving on base today, I made a SHARP turn into the Mc D's parking lot. I saw my truck, well, my truck's beastly twin! So, I find that this is the EXACT SAME as mine! 4cyl., 2WD, only difference is his is a stick and mine is a auto. Ryan, owner of said beast, was telling me that he researched everything extensively before buying and installing. Well, I was thinking of doing the ProComp 4" my self, however, after seeing how good his truck looked (pics soon to come as they are on my phone) I am now wanting the Skyjacker 236R2KS-A, as seen here. I was wondering if anyone else can attest to the ability of this kit and how good it runs. Ryan seems very knowledgeable and is going to get me a part list of everything he did. I swear, by looking at his truck, it was what I have wanted mine to be the entire time. He is running 4.56 in the rear on the stock 7.5 axle and 35x12.5 BFG A/T's. It's a sweet ride that compares to none. He even said he is averaging 270 miles a tank which is about on par. I only have 163K on the Odo and it is comforting to see the same year/options running at 223k. That Definitely relieves some worries there.

 

the skyjacker is a good lift i have it on my 92 ranger

 

Well I guess I should put in my 2 cents.... I have skyjacker 4" Lift springs on my 99XLT, and I must say I love them! They are much "tuffer" then the stock ones.

so hows is he running 35 with out messing up his axle or rear end.. ( i know he got a different gears) i thout that the 7.5 axle could not take the stress of 35?

 

its a 2.3L that should be enough right there, it will probably still break over time but rear axles are a dime a dozen.

 

I know this is the suspension forum, but would you recommend me stepping up to the 8.8 rear. I can acquire one for 200 out of a mid 90's explorer, which also gets me disc brakes in the rear. I figure 4.56 gears would turn 35's, and 4.10 would turn 33's. I know my axle code is 86 (Open 7.5, 3.73 ratio). Anyways, any and all suggestions are accepted here! Thanks!

 

hey bud.. how long have u had the 35's with the 4.53 gear and did u ever run the 3.73 gears with the 35's

 

haven't aquired them yet, and I wouldn't think of running 35's on a 3.73... the gas mileage would suck and so would the acceleration.

All the specs I have talked about in this thread have come from a dude's truck that i met yesterday. It is basically everything that I wanted to do to mine. just thought I would clarify that there.

. o ok my bad. i didnt read that close i was ..lol.

 

Please don't start sentences with "so" or "well". I would also recommend separating your paragraphs with more than a tap of the space bar.

 

LoL, thanks for the info, but English class ended 10 years ago for me. Thanks though

 

I will accept that, just as long as your not one of those zealots running around ranting how foreigners should speak English if they are going to live here.

 

Nah.... free country. I serve my country to give everyone that right. I am all for that. I believe that at some point you should learn the native language of the country you are in, but I don't consider this a must do.
