ya my leaf sas i had to offset my hangers and shackle mounts to work. Are you doing shackle forward or in back? I hope back.

There is no way that I am going to be able to have it low enough with a rear shackle, so front it is. I am also trying to keep it simple

Thanks Dustin!

what about the slider boxes instead of a shackle? it would be just over an inch taller then a front shackle set-up if anything.

I already have everything for shackles and Kages ranger is DD on the same set up and it works fine, I haven't seen any tried and tested sliders

Ya shackle forward "works" but you need a panhard bar to keep it tracking straight.
What springs are you going to use?

 

[Bennybooster]

explorer rears

Cut out frame plates for the crumple zone, and cut down the front crossmember to the right width.

 

[SAY789]

Explorer rears might be a lil bit long. I tried them and they stuck out in front of my ranger about 8-10". Maybe look into chevy 54's or waggys as a thought

railman is using them and they work just fine

Sploder rears, front pushed 4in forward

That was fast lol looks good. When's the bumper going back on

 

[ltuck808]

Is that your old one?^^

Is that your old one?^^

No, thats railmans truck, same axle, springs and shackles.

And the stock bumper is never going back on, I still have 50 ft of tube for bumpers and shock hoops

I need to patch these holes (4 of them)\

SO I used one of these

to cut holes in these

then used a grinder to make these

to fill the holes, these should be welded in wednesday
I also scraped up part of the weird floor covering and started painting the floor. I am doing one side at a time.
