Has anyone done this??? I love the tight feel and responsiveness of the R&P Mustangs. Can you do a Mustang II conversion, like a Fatman Fabrication setup???

Thanks,
Mike

Looks like you haven't got a Ranger yet. Look for a '98-up, they already have R&P.

I figured it could be done, haven't seen one in the older trucks and didn't know what issues it might create with the V-8 swap. The '98 up having the IFS is great, only problem is... I'm hung up on the '89-'92 body style. I wonder if the late model IFS can be adapted??? I want to build something that looks about like this...



I want to do a mini version of my Lightning and the '89-'92 Ranger is strikingly similar, especially with the clear corners. Here's a couple pics of my Lightning...
