Whats your questions? at one time I was thinking about doing it.

One question is about the upper coil buckets. I know you can space each side out 2", but ive seen James Duff has replaceable coil buckets that possibly are offset correctly for a ranger but not 100% sure if thats what they are for. Called them and they werent sure niether.

Also do the autofab brackets only relocate the beams inward, or do they provide any sort of lift also?

My D44 is narrowed to Ranger-width, so unfortunately I can't comment on the wider buckets or Autofab brackets (it is common to base go-fast TTBs on the 1.5" lift Ranger STX factory brackets, so there is a chance Autofab incorporated something similar into theirs... You might want to give them a call or email).

I have had thoughts of taking my Ranger to the next level should something ever happen to my BII. Chances are it would include new beams to take it back to full-width again. But this is all stuff on the back burner right now.

Also who has actually used the Autofab pivot brackets?
