broken leaf spring

[b411sac]

random tidbit of info that i knew, and i probably wouldn't have thought of unless somebody mentioned it, thanks.
this is probably going to end up being a slow but complete suspension refresh, I'm a broke soldier so it's going to take a while to stock pile the parts. May do a little bit of lift while I'm in there, but it's a 2wd so I don't really know that its worth the time/money.

sorry for your situation. looks like it's fixable

they do realize you can get a whole new ranger of that era for $1900 or less
easily...

You would think so, but nooooo, they're just out to make money, but I can understand that.
Bills like that make me glad that I used to be a mechanic and can do my own work, $$ permitting.

Wow...thats a 2 hour job TOPS if you know what your doing. You dont have to worry about screwing up the leaf spring bushings if your replacing it. It's 2 bolts and u-bolts... for over a GRAND?!?!? Wow...
