i have already lowered it using the djm ibeams and the blocks and flip kit in the back. minus the kit (I.E. valves, tank, compressor, bags and 4 link) is there anything else do you guys think i need to buy? This is going to be a do it myself. so anyone also have any good article write ups on it.

Oh one last question. would this be a problem if it was a daily driver? Driven about 30 miles a day. to and from work.

I did my drop on my '94 a week ago. The flip kit was easy as long as you could twist the axle in place to clear the leaf springs across the brake drums.

My beams were a pain because of all the rusted bolts holding everything together.

I have pics if you'd like to see them.

well on the flip kit no mods needed. it was actually easy. i actually have another flip kit for sell.. i have some pictures.

this is the beginning



and this is after the flip kit plus 3inch blocks



i did the rear end in my drive way. but when i did the ibeams i went to a friends shop. I have already got the rear shocks in. the ones i wll use for my bag kit to. i paid 400 for the dream beams and the flip kit.

Oooo nice..

cuz i'd just recently purchased a kit to put on my truck when i get back from iraq.

full kit cost me $318 and then the shocks brought it up to $485, which i don't think that's bad at all.

Well zipity where would you liek me to start...

Besides the bags, valves, air line, compressor(s), air tank, and four link....

At least a 8in notch for the frame, relocate the fuel tank, if the frame comes close to the ground it is going to drag and put holes in it.

You will need a new transmission crossmember and radius arm relocator.

I will hightly suggest a lot of time, and very good set of air bags, A good welder, and some good friends to help you out.

If you got any more questions feel free to ask.

And if I think of anything else I will let you know.

Also one last thing... suicidedoors.com is going to be your best friend.

well I am the good wielder and when i start the bagging project. I think i am going to place the truck on out of commission status. I want it to be done right and i want to be able to drive this to work atleast 5 days a week when i finish it. I have found a lot of my items at FBIRIDES.com for a good price. I will be checking suicide doors out while i am at work tonight. would the best way to do this project is by striping the truck to bare frame our just bed off of it?

Has anyone seen a good write up on doing a 1994 ranger? Or a place i can see good detailed pictures? I found some good picture of the rear end on the mini trucking magazine website. but any help will be appreciated.

I will recomend not going to FBIRIDES.com not such a great company and they do not have a four link kit long enough for you.

But as for what you posted that looks about right. But I would eithe recomend a larger air compressor or running 2 compressors and 2 tanks.

And with the 3/8 valves I would go ahead and use 1/2in air line, because they size the line by outside diameter. So basically the 1/2in line is really 3/8 inside diameter.

Well when I get home I will put you a kit together the way I would like it.

And throw up some links to what else I would recomend, but how much are you looking to spend ? I know I have somewhere around 2k into my bagged Ranger.

Well i want a kit that will last, with little problems when done right. probley under 2k would be great because i know the more you spend the better it is. i am looking for circle notches though.. are something different. I am trying to be a little different.
