98-11 torsion bar suspension lowering arms

They look very good, but 700 is just too pricey for me

Yeah, it is a big bite to swallow. I’m not raising the rear of my
Ranger though unless I can’t get the front low enough even with these. I’m determined to make this truck work at the height the rear has ended up at. Counting the time I’d have into it to fabricate these myself with limited tooling, it’s a fair price. Nobody else makes them. Literally. I don’t have the tooling or the time to make them, but I was trying to figure out a way to make it happen because I was getting desperate. Time is money and I don’t have enough of either.

I completely agree. I know it would be a nice improvement, but I'm just not that rich.

Now that he has them live on the site, I'll order a set in a week or three.

By all means keep us posted. I'm willing to bet that yours will be a nice and tight handling little truck. Make me jealous

At this point I have no idea if I'm going to use them or not. Don't know if I'm continuing the low route, or changing course and lifting. It was definitely going to be lowered more before dad passed in July, now that I'm inheriting his F-150, my fleet needs to change and not sure what is going where. F-250 is going soon, but not in a rush to make a decision on the rest. A lot will probably hinge on what direction the F-100 resto takes, and how the Ranger reacts to a new transmission with shift kit.

Having said all that. I've been asking the various companies listed in the OP to build me a set of these for years. Rick finally made good on it, so I'm getting a set to put on the shelf for when I do decide. If the decision is to lift, it won't be a problem to find a buyer. Might take a slight hit, but will find someone who wants them.

...or maybe they'll be like my gun parts and grow into another truck?
