it has come time for me to finally start my build thread.
what i have started with is a 93 ranger stx 4x4 with a 4.0 auto. i wanted it for a trail truck and sas swap, the whole 9. but i love prerunners, i know there is no where to run one here in muddy Florida but im doing one anyway.
i want to go with a simple but good looking set up seeing im not going to be jumping it at huckfest
i will stop talking and get to the pics.....
bumper i built then trashed
so i can install my 99 front clip
pulled her in to start on the rear
rancho rs9000xl with res. 15in travel
next to my 35
2000 tundra springs. 58in long and have a 8.5in arc
camburg shackles
ballistic fab shock tabs
flipped it, but didnt work for me
then i moved it back 3in and dropped it 2in. braced the frame and built a drop bracket for the hanger
welded it all up
moved the front hanger
installed the spring and i was amazed that i pulled 18in from bump to full drop
put the bed back on and i was..ok..with the height, but when i get my bed sides i will be much happier.
started on my bedcage
all in and now for the fun part.
fully removable, now time to weld it all up
welded up and shocks installed
i still have to add some small braces and my tire rack then i will paint it. im happy with the way it turned out. it rides amazing compared to stock and lifted. the dirt roads are now a blast to drive. ive started on my cut and turn beams but im still doing my homework.
