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.
