Finally got my lift on

[94STXRanger]

Well about a month and a half ago i finally got my lift on and finished. It took about three days of on-off work. It was a complete pain in the arse, but at least its done.
-Spring out and beam hanging

Broke the end of the bolt off of the lower shock bolt, still need to fix it

My buddy who helped me cuttin on some rivets

Front end completely hangin

Here is how well the bolts holes lined up for the rad arm drops. weird

compressing the springs, just after the drivers side spring crushed my fingers

Drivers side bracket on

Spring in, gettin ready to raise the beam

Spring in, JD shock on, short worthless stock rad arm bolted up.

Front end up, back still down

My girlfriend helping put the blocks on! boo blocks though

The stock brake lines wouldnt even let me put the caliper on, got new lines from the info in the tech library

some spring curvature

Lifted, head on, no drop pitman yet.

New and old springs

Bye Bye stripes

And new Level II wheels. $150, a steal.

Stock

Lifted

Thanks!

 

[Joe400]

looks good.

btw you have exactly the same truck as me, down to the stx decals and explorer rims. i also broke the same shock stud off.

is that a james duff lift? how many inches?

 

[94STXRanger]

no its a 5.5" Superlift, with duff shocks, and rough country blocks. The stripes are gone now, and with the new rims and all black, it looks a lot better.

Looks really good, its funny I got the exact same dent (size and shape) on the drivers door that you have.

 

[Sworn]

Big difference! Looks good!

 

[Gabe8810]

Thetruck did a one eighty. looks clean. Good job.

 

[94STXRanger]

Thanks fellas! Not sure about the dents though, need to fix them. Now i need some tires, and to weld my bumper on there. I love this truck!

 

[BlackBII]

The passenger side bracket is a fun one aint it?

You oughtta paint the axles black, rust is the worst color!

why did ford decide to use rivets on those brackets anyways??, i swear its retarded

but ya, nice set of 32's or 33's and shell look tits man, u might wanna try to find a 4x4 front valance, looks like it could use it up front

 

[mjonesjr]

not too shabby...

 

[94STXRanger]

yeah basically anything with rivets was a pain in the rear. I actually have the valance and fog lights, i had taken them off looking at how to mount my new bumper and never put it back on. Its a good thing for now, because with the last few weeks of off roading it would be gone anyways, but i might put it back on. Thanks Maurice, i bet you miss yours to lol.
