torsion key and shackle lift
torsion key and shackle lift
Hey,
so this is my first time doing a torsion key lift. I know from reading that it will change the camber of my front wheels. Will that be cleared up with an alignment? or would I need to put different control arms on to even out the adjustment. also, when I put the new shackles on the back, would it be recommended to use different shocks or wil the stock ones be able to handle three more inches in the back? I'm somewhat of a noob when it comes to this, any and all advice would be appreciated. thanks!

It depends on the year of the Ranger
I think the upper control arm on passenger side was 2 piece and adjustable unit about 2002/3, there was no fixed cut off point for this
If you have one peice you may need to install upper control arm "eccentrics" where they bolt to the frame, not expensive, it allows adjustment, alignment shop can install these
You will need new shocks all around, once you have a final number on how many inches you will be lifting it, you can find the right shock length
