i was wondering if i could swap my torsion bars with taller coil over springs. is it possible?
what size coil over springs could i use to get 4" or so?

I have the 1998 4x4 supercab. it has the 4x4 off-road package. i've already cranked down my torsion bars(i have like 1/2" more i could turn) but *I WANT MORE LIFT* but i dont want to pay 1900 bucks for a suspension lift and i dont want to do a body lift b/c i think they look stupid.


my email is: kawadude@netzero.net i will check my email more then i get on here so please send me an email if you have any suggestions

thanks,
nick

Wow mlw20lu, that looks slick. I should have done that on my Mounty I had. Who makes those coil overs?

well you can swap them for a better ride but you won't get anymore lift than cranking your t-bars.

+1.
Travel is still travel. To get more lift even with coil-overs you'd still need the Superlift knuckes and a differential drop bracket of some sort.

thats what i figured but i dont have money for all that. is there any way to possibly buy longer upper and lower arms and buy stiffer t-bars w/ longer keys? and for the rear i believe i could buy a shackle or do blocks

thanks for all the tips
PS mlw20lu your ranger is freakin nice
