I sure hope sothose leafs are going to break for sure
Well, thank you, it was just by luck that I found the ranger with the 2.3 in it, otherwise the powertrain probably would have been Datsun.Hey, this is turning out to be a bad-ass build. It's nice to see something going into a 'Zuk other than a 22R or a 4.3 V6. After owning an '88 T-Bird TurboCoupe, I am a real big fan of the ford 2.3. Damn good motors. Just out of curiosity, what are the specs on that black Ex-Cab Ranger you have? And, is there way I can get a Pic of it sitting unloaded on level ground? Thanks lots!
Looks like you have the same criteria for a lift as I did. Cheap. The coils were around $120, which is only a little over the daystar spacers, and the shackles were something like $65. Both I ordered from Summit.That's about where my truck is minus any lift. First thing I did was ditch the sway-bar. Little scary in traffic, but well worth it for the extra flex and better ride on the pavement and off. I was just getting some ideas on how to lift the truck cheaply without screwing up the front-end to where it won't go straight. Right now money is a little tight being unemployed and all, but I just got my old job back at the Ford dealership so I should be able to play soon.
As far as the Suzuki, that thing is sweet. I always wanted to do a super light tube frame buggy with a mild 2.3/auto, Dana 30/Dana 35 Jeep XJ running gear and 33's. You don't need big tires around here. Not unless you go out to the rock-crawl parks. I just like to play around. Not climb rocks for days. More trail cruising than anything.
Anywho, I'll stop cluttering up your thread now. Nice build.
