97fordrunners 97 Ranger build. Updated 4-29-11
Thought I should start a build thread on my truck now that I have started modding it for some serious trail running.
As it sits now it has a rough country 4" lift that is soon to be a custom lift with custom drop brackets, Skyjacker Radius Arms, EB coils, Stone Crusher steering, F250 shock towers and Bilstein 5150 shocks.
Over the weekend I rounded up a buddy that works at a drive line shop rebuilding transmissions and diffs and had him give me a hand with installing my Yukon 4.88's
Also have a No-Slip that I was gonna get installed but I ordered the wrong spring kits And I also installed new Spicer U-Joints and C-clip eliminator spring.
Up in the air
3.73 Limited Slip
Open Carrier with 4.88 gear
Drilled a small hole the front diff to drain oil through bottom bold hole (Got that Idea from 4X4Junkie)
Axles
C-Clip eliminator
Drilled out front Yoke and installed U-Bolt straps # 534-10
Soon to be installed No-Slip
More to come soon
