never really considered it.. but looking at the DBR long travel kit...
since i'll be moving back to vegas, i wouldnt mind getting into the whole prerunner thing.
that kit is expensive, and would be a long ways away if i did do it. but would it still be good if i wanted to take it on trails n stuff?? is there anyone on here that has it? it looks badass, and would make my truck REALLY fun!

If I do any susp. work on my truck THAT is the kit I will be going after..
Lifts for our trucks are over rated...
I would love to have Sophie all long legged and sexy!
Four wheeler put it on there project Ranger runner. I know some one else on the site has the kit too. just cant think of the name...
I'm wondering if a full size axle would work in the back.. being the front would be 8in wider..

either would work lol
idk. i think it would make the ultimate rig. sure, you couldnt rock crawl, but you shouldnt be doing that in a ranger anyways lol
it'd be awesome on trails, and kick *** out in the desert.

yeah that'd be perfect for me
i mean, sure, i could probably have a SAS done for cheaper then the parts alone from the DBR kit. but that wouldnt suit what i wanna do with my truck .

So you want a 9" rear axle, with say disk brakes, truss, skid plate, Strange nodular third member, 1350 yolk, 35 spline Currie axle shafts, 35 spline Detroit locker, and 4.56 gears?
Nah, that will never work......

is that sarcasm? haha
Ding Ding Ding We have a winner!
Tys, you have an auto or stick? If it's an auto you'll have issues running the 9" because it has no VSS, but when the time comes I can help you with that.

That shouldn't be a problem. In 2001 Ford moved the speed sensor from the rearend to the tranny. He should be able to run any kind of rearend with no speedo issues.
Good call. He'll lose ABS, but that won't necessarily be a bad thing at that point.
