[liljoe0985]

Whats everyone runnin SAS wise on the 98-00 Ranger? Whats your specs as far as axles/tires/wheels/lift...The whole nine yards!!! Any suggestions towards the process?State whether you daily drive it, specifically wheel it or both. POST PICS! Point of this post is just to see what is out there with the 98-00 models and how was it done where other members looking into the SAS as an option can get an idea of what there working with and whether its worth it or not. Only one rule:

1: Suggestions to other members are ok but please NO FLAMING tellin people how stupid they are or whatever!

You sure thats a driversdrop HPD44 and not a passenger drop LPD44? (you might have it upsidedown, which would make it appear HP and driversside drop) Scouts were passenger drop as far as I know.

Hey Toreadorranger, where about in Boston are you? That looks like it's going to be one hell of a set-up. Good Luck
