Front axle moved forward a bit..

Where they rub now

Rear wheels spacers installed to compensate for the narrower Ranger 8.8

And some more bolt-on HP. :icon_thumby:

Are you sure you don't have your radius arms on the wrong sides?

Yeah, they're on right. Well actually it doesn't matter since they're identical. When they were on my truck the caster looked way off, so when we put them on here we measured to see if I needed to swap them and they were right. The caster in this is off a ways too, put not nearly as bad. IIRC 86ford had the same arms on his BII and was trying to figure out a new way to mount them to get around the rubbing issues.

I got them from the owner of a smaller mostly Seattle based forum, http://www.the4x4network.com , who does custom vinyl stickers and other vinyl work. I put my build thread up and it reminded him needed to make a few more. :icon_rofl: They're $5 and come in lots of colors, if you want I'll PM you his email so you can order some. Anybody else too, or you can join the site..

Went night wheeling last night with another friend...


Dropped off a ledge that he made it over with his 104" WB, I couldn't quite clear it. Time to get started on the sliders I guess.

Went out again tonight waiting for the girlfriend to get finished at the bar...

Barely even got to the trail, luckily I had my spare ready to go. Then I proceeded to add an almost identical but slightly smaller dent on the other rocker trying to go up what I dropped off last night, lol. Didn't quite make it's a 2 ft vertical wall, with hole on one side that drops about foot after your front tires are up... dropping the truck onto the rocker. good thing it's just the rockers..

I used the angle grinder and removed some of the radius arms. It got rid of the rubbing and they have not broken so far. I just got done bolting them up on the explorer. I will have nearly the exact same lift as you. 5.5 super lift brackets. Rancho arms, 456 gears (welded front/mini spool rear) warn lock outs, and SOA rear. I will be running 35s, we will see how much metal needs removed to make that work....
