Coilover Questions

JeffyJingles · 06-20-2012, 02:22 AM

I own an 04 ranger xlt 4x4 and want coilovers in the front but they wont fit due to the shock mount setup on these models. i was thinking of getting bar pin eliminators as some people have suggested to adapt the coilovers. What are some suggestions?

Solid axle swap?

Here, check out these shocks on Ebay. The dealer has been there for sometime now. They can answer your questions pretty quick and they have some decent prices. I have bought from them before.

No the truck is IFS, i have thought about a solid axle swap but I havent searched for an axle.

Those shocks are awesome for the rear. ill contact them and ask if they have a setup for the front.

So I have a question regarding this conversion. The OP asked about coils up front, what about cutting out the stock shock towers and welding in new coil over towers? Maybe from a F150 or older Ranger? Just a thought?
