Yea check out what I posted. Go ahead and discuss this there if you want too.

Anyways might as well answer it in your own thread. Bent or extended beams are meant to be used with stock brackets usually or STX brackets like in the Autofab kits. If you have a bent/extended beam kit picked out talk to the company on installation. The kits are meant to be put onto stock trucks (unless you go with coilovers but forget that noise).

Companies that do these kits are:
Threat Motorsports - Dave@Threat as most people know him as
Fabtech - used to but still possible to call for old stock or find somewhere
Autofab - econo kit uses bent beams not extended but Im sure you could talk and get some custom
Camburg - expensive but you get to put a sweet sticker on your truck after

There's a lot more companies that do so I hope more people post some for you, Im tired and have been looking for a 3.0L 2wd Ranger (or it's Mazda B3000 brother) to buy all night with no luck so I'll ttyl.

the stx/highrider brackets are only used in the 4x4 trucks.


99% of the people who fab up beams are going to build camber correction in to them.So in other words you will need to get the stock brackets back.AS the beam will have the "lift" built in to it. since you allready have the drop brackets you can now sale them and recoup a little money.

How can you have a Rancho 4-inch lift? :icon_confused:

They haven't made a Rancho kit in a very long time and when they did it wasn't 4-inches.
