Hi TRS,

Been lurking here for years but now am finally a member. I had a 94 b3000 in high school (auto crapped out at 80k!) Then built a jeepspeed esque prerunner that i just recently got rid of for a 1999 ranger 4x4, manual...

Long travel is in it's future, but for now i am enjoying it just how it is. It has the superlift drop bracket lift up front and had blocks in the back. I took off the lift block along with the factory ford block so it's sitting at 2wd height. I also softened up the torsions to lower the front. Ideally i would want to get rid of the superlift kit and run it stock, but it's too much work! ... and the previous owner didn't have any of the stock parts. I did all the regular maintenance on it but the last thing to do is the front diff fluid. Any easy way to do this? Pump out method? Thank and hope to be welcome here.

Hey TRS,

I sold the Superlift kit and saved my shekels and decided to bite the bullet and get long travel! Here are some progress pictures.

... Still have to mount the reservoirs and other odds and ends but for the most part it's done. Next on the list are some bigger tires (33" a/t max.) and king bumpstops. I'm thoroughly impressed with the kit, Aaron Dixon did a great job on the install. I'll get more pictures of the truck soon.
