After driving my 88 ranger for 6 months now I have a good idea of what I want to do to the suspension. Being that I use it for mild trail use and alot of highway I figure that I wont need anything more than a 31" tire. Remember that this is my DD. I plan on doing a 2" washer lift on the front to level it and for the rear I was planning on just using some explorer leaves. I then thought about removing the factory blocks on the rear and getting some Chevrolet drop shackles so I wont have any axle wrap and better flex. I have 3:73 gears in my D28 and 7.5, I'm pretty sure they will hold up to my 2.9 but I wasn't sure about the 2.9 surviving on the highway with heavy 31's.
What do you guys think?
