Nope, I have a rear gas tank, I eliminated the front tank 10 years ago when I got the truck. I thought the lean was because of my SAS and C bushings (common Early Bronco issue) nope, I have been through that several times and my front axle is good. The front does NOT lean, just the driver's side rear.

My truck was involved in a front end collision before I got it and the passenger side frame horn was bent. The driver's side box had a big dent in it too but really nothing to indicate that the whole frame is out of whack. It can't be me, I am not a small dude but 190lbs is well within Ranger weight tolerances. I think it's just gotten bent from a lot of wheeling.

I do agree that Skyjacker stuff would be just fine for a light wheeler and great for a daily driver. And yes, their springs are probably the best off the shelf lift spring out there right now unless you have a custom pack made by Deaver or Alcan.

Anything can be broken - my buddy has a full size Bronco with a Solo Motorsports cut/turn Dana 44 and their extended radius arm kit - nearly everything has been bent way out of shape after a couple years of mud and Baja style racing - and they're one of the better manufacturers.

Ah see, I thought I had read at one point that you have a rear gas tank.

Maybe when Ford made the frames they were all leaning to one side. Even with the rear tank and new leaves, my Ranger still leans to drivers side by about 12mm. I just checked. :dunno:

I've been really satisfied with Skyjackers coils and leaves(and shocks too) on my Ranger. I had all Superlift stuff on my old Bronco II and the ride was really harsh.
