I am in middle of installing skyjacker class II 6'' lift on 93 ford ranger 4x4.

Confused right now becuase the instructions for Drop Bracket (Driver I Beam) say that there should be three holes in the crossmeber that are not there.....How can I drill the holes at a wonky angle?! or do I need to at all. it is already supported by the 4 original bolts.

My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
the forward support holes on the outside of the passenger rail?


dont think those are on the gen 3 and late gen 2, the earlier trucks had holes for the factory lift

Here is pic:

mine is a 93 so is it gen 2?

If there are no holes then do I need to drill them or can I install without.

There is one hole that was already there (furthest left if your looking from the front) I was thinking of just using that one and the other 4

Those 3 extra bolts are needed due to the added leverage the longer bracket creates.

At the very least, drill out and put a bolt in for the very far-right hole (looking from front) if you're having trouble with it.
