well i graduated this past year from midland lee, im being seriously amazed how some people actually know what midland is, you the 3rd now...

 

I've heard of people putting stuff in between their springs on old cady's and such. When your driving, it gives the appearence that you have hydrolics because it bounces around on every little bump.

I would never do it on my truck........But its yours, do what you want. A hockey puck is strong.

 

My gf has family in Midland, her cousin just graduated from some high school in Midland hes going to Texas A&T now i think. I'll find out where he graduated from later.

 

I have nothing under my springs on my 98 and it bounces like a scene

 

Sounds like you have another problem

 

Well Friday Night Lights kinda told everyone in America where Midland is, also the band Fair to Midland is from there.

He didn't give any specs on his truck. He might not have torsion bars.

Coil spacers?

 

I have still yet to see Friday Night Lights.


04BlackEdge, you sure its A&T and not Texas A&M?

Midland is well known, almost like Texas Tech & Lubbock. I got a ticket in Snyder for going 95 in a 65 mph...there were no cars (I saw 1 other car in 50 miles) at midnight.

Y'all are a bunch of hugea$s farm boys out there...

 

well thats snyder, its stupid to speed in the small towns around here, the cops are WAITING 24/7 for people to come through speeding or whatever else, out of towners are what keeps the little towns around here running

 

Yes he did. Its a 98 4wd.

 

*shrug* Yea, go figure. College Station cops with rip you a new one, and they give tickets right and left for going 2 mph over (yes, I have gotten that one).

There was nothing but open flat fields over there...yea, I guess I deserved it. But it coulda been worse with the cops, who were surprisingly nice.

Stumpy, have to decided yay or nay for the body lift?

 

i hope you didnt have to pay that... i passed a trooper going 2-6 over on my way home, not really sure (damn 35s)

thought he turned around but it wasn't for me lol

 

yea, ive talked with some other guys with jacked up trucks, and they all say to just do the body lift. maybe if i get bored some day i'll throw some hockey pucks under the leafs (when has hockey ever gone wrong). is there any suspension lift kits out there for rangers that are reasonably cheap, and where can i get them? i went to the ford dealership and the only option was a 3" lift, and it was 3 grand or something, which was a bit much

 

Buy Lift Spindles off EBAY. I personally wouldn't recommend the Puck BL. Pucks can only take so much abuse before they break. Then you've got a goofy lookin' lift. Just do it right.

 

The easiest thing for you to do concerning a suspension lift of any kind would be the 3" spindle lift mentioned above. Google it, and shop around for good prices.

The body lift kit from Performance Accessories is still the best option for a quick, simple lift that will fit larger tires. Relatively cheap, and get off eBay from someone that doesn't want theirs (or just buy brand new, if you are so inclined).

If you are looking to lift the rear for cheap regarding the suspension (not body), I may have 3" blocks for the rear (between the leaf spring & axle) in a couple weeks. I guarantee you that it will be safer, and more reliable than your hockey pucks for the axle and for about the same price. I thought I was going to use them, but decided to go another route (explorer leaf spring swap + Chevy drop shackles). They are brand new solid, billet aluminum blocks (never mounted) that I got from Summit (includes blocks, U-bolts, washers, & locknuts). PM me if you are interested...


EDIT: Used the wrong "theirs"

 

he has a 4wd guys, the cheapest you can get is the Super Lift 3-4" Lift for like $12-1400

 

buttttt

if you're dead set on using hockey pucks.. go right ahead, im kinda curious about the outcome, but no one on this site can be held accountable

 

More like a crazy Kanuck and too much real beer.....oh I said it.

Hockey pucks lifts is ghetto and not to mention dangerous, end of story!!

Leave the backyard halfass mechanics for the rednecks and just buy a lift kit. eBay has plenty of stuff on there.

 

I have a body lift for sale. Not to jack this thread. I don't know what year your truck is , otherwise I'd search. Ebay is key, tho. I think Suspension Maxx may have somethin' for ya. I'd say that AALs and Spindles would be the easiest. Get a quality BL because it just takes to long to do it in the first place. Why not do it and know that it'll last for awhile? Ya know? Just lookin' out.

 

for like the 4th or 5th time mentioned in this thread he has a 98 4x4 spindles WON'T work!

 

Just got back to the thread...

Stumpy isn't even looking for a suspension lift anyways at this point. Just something to lift the body and possibly lift the rear...

LOL. Calm down, Matt. What does an aneurysm feel like? I just reread his opening post, and you're right, spindles won't work. T-are his best bet for the front for cheap, I would say for later down the road...

 

leave hockey in Canada where it belongs

 

i AM calm!!!!! haha jk...


seriously
i want to see this hockey puck theory in action, but he cant say we didnt warn him....

 

ya, you dont have hockey because you have used all the pucks for your trucks
