SAS Ranger on 46s 4X4 connversion pics

[QuakerShaker4242]

hey guys im just finishing up my 94 ranger splash sas. its got a dana 44 front with chromoly shafts, sterling 10.25 rear. the axles are just a step until i can get a set of rockwells. it has custom coil buckets,radius arm brackets, and leaf spring hangers, it has fullsize 9" lift springs in the front and stock 3/4 ton leafs in the rear to eliminate all axle wrap. it has 5.38s all around and the rear is spooled. for shoes i have 16.5x12 weld wheels with 46" baja claws. i still have to install a divorced mount transfercase and get a driveshaft for the front. its a little big but i dont need to hear from any haters. it doesnt show in the pictures but im switching out the passenger side knuckle and putting one in setup for high steer. im putting in moog balljoints and 1 ton chevy tie rod ends in all around. i will have more pics soon.

in the beginning:

half way:

now:

just fyi, this will probably be the biggest stepside ranger you will ever see

i dunno....seen some huge fawgers in florida.



to have anything less then full hydro is a waste of time imo too when running an oem frame with tires over 40 inches.

yea ill give you that, ive just looked all over the internet and maybe found two full width stepsides

and yea im going to swap out the steering once the money comes and im dropping in a 351 and a c6 in the springs. oh do i love tax checks

strokuh!

how do you like it? was it hard to convert? im looking to get the most bang and boom for my buck. i figured since i have a body lift a 351 would be snug but would fit ok

thanks man i appreciate it. id like to switch it to a 351w and a c6 tranny but money is getting tight i just moved and now im trying to find a job. im hoping when i get my tax check i will have enough to do a swap but we will see how the 4.0 handles the tires and go from there i guess

Wait a minute....you've got 46" claws on a Dana 44...I know guys breaking chromos in their Dana 44's with only 36" tires.

Looks good otherwise.

yea i know it came cheap though. it should last me through the winter though. it wont see any trails until about 6 months from now when my restricted liscense is up . id idealy like rockwells but theyre so expensive but you gotta pay to play i guess. ill keep my eyes open

thanks man. i came from being a 2wd wheeler so i dont think i will be wheeling it too hard. for now lol but i always follor one rule, go big or go home. it will still be 2wd until i get a divorced mount transfercase mounted up and a front driveshaft made

Looks real big! Did you just lower all your spring mounts? I see some whopper radius arm drops too.

yea all the brackets were made out of 1/4 steel. the coil buckets go out and down at an angle off the frame to be even with the coil buckets. the radius arm brackets come down 13" i believe. they are at a bit of an angle to compensate with the angle the radius arms are coming off the axle to the frame. theres some round tubing around to make it look cool. it seems that some people dont like to do that lol. bit i will have more pictures soon. thanks for looking!
