1990 ford ranger 300 swap in progress

Super productive afternoon! Was able to bring some support back into the chassis with some extra bracing. The front shackle mounts need finsh welded and done support just for insurance but overall couldn’t be happier. Depending on how tomorrow goes I’m hoping to get the bumper back on and take a break from welding engine mounts are welded in now. Fronts back to being pretty well good!

Added in some thicker braces across the top corners of the frame and box tubing. Set my shackles and built a few more gussets. I’m officially out of 1/4 “ plate time to haul in what’s left of the scrap steel I suppose.

I will say though I’m super pleased with the height! Especially for still being on 32s I guess I’ll keep the 4.10s after all!

I'm sure it's stronger than the factory stamped parts in the rear, but that shackle mount just looks wrong... In fact it might be the best possible thing for suspension travel.

It’s an outboarded mount ? Nothing really you can do about it lol it’s pretty common these days honestly just needs finish welded but like I said I ran out of 1/4” plate and I’m about out of gas too
