70sf150 coils on 93 ranger?


you have to make em work and shim the bow depending on length.


the jeep units tend to be softer, but these are plenty soft in ttb applications.
 
thanks im going to do more looking in to it i might just get a lift kit instead of try to piece one together plus i cant do a lot of fab work in an apartment.Im a noob at ifs my other truck is solid front axle thanks for your help.
 
TTB IFS isn't incredibly different than a solid, although due to how the axle is mounted, the requirement that the coils sit at the proper ride height is critical for being able to set the wheel camber correctly.
You'll need lift brackets if you go more than 2" higher than stock with the coils.

Using non-specified coils can be a challenge if you're not familiar with all of what's involved, but you'll very often get more flex out of it than you would with typical "bolt-in" RBV TTB coils.
 
hi thanks for the input 4x4 junkie was thinking about going with a 6"skyjacker kit i was looking at your 94 how is the lift on it. im a little gun shy about coils and how the work im learning more as i go .the springs i found said its 4" lift for and old bronco how long of shocks do i need for it and some with radius arms. my other truck is a 70 f250 ranger 4x4 with leaf springs front and back easy stuff but i would like to know what steps you took with your 94 our truck a pretty much the same model im just starting to mod it to play thanks again
 
I would go ahead and just get the Skyjacker kit.
Depending on if your truck is a Supercab or not, you may still need to shim up the coils for height, although this is super easy (just by placing a few large washers under the bottom coil spring seats... I had to do this on mine due to the weight of the winch).
If you order the 6" kit, you might want to also get the larger drop pitman arm to go with it (pt# FA600), as the one that normally comes in the kit is too short to correct the steering geometry with 6" lift.

The Skyjacker kits (although not perfect) are probably about the best currently available kit, overall. The axle brackets are very sturdy, and the coils are a little bit flexier than most others as well.

Hope that helps.
 
Well, being you did it yourself lol :threadjacked:

Lockwood/Miller trail is cool (near Frazier) Fairly easy trail, but nearby, and in a decent area that also offers some camping spots.
Rowher Trail (north of Saugus) is good for testing your hillclimbing ability, although not much else to see or do out there.

Doesn't seem to be much else nearby though. Next closest trails would be like up in Big Bear, Calico (near Barstow), Shredder (near Palmdale), etc.
Truckhaven Hills looks interesting too, although I've never been there yet myself.


I see you're in Simi, I'm in SFV. :)
 
Yeah Ive lived here for about seven years now. where abouts in the valley are you.I havent had a reliable truck to hit some trails with so now im working on getting my ranger where i want it. i bought it from my sis about a year ago now for $900. I bought some fiberglass fenders for the front so i can put 33s on it soon and deal with the rubbing til i save some money for the lift kit

Sounds like you scored good if it's in decent shape.
