1992 Ranger STX, 4" Lift Kit (Tuff Country)

[Tharockus]

Hello Everyone!! I've been member of this site since I bought the Ranger last summer. The forum has been very very helpful for fixing it up!! I've kept silence for a while but now I would say I'm around 90% done on the lift. At least it's all aligned and safe to drive for now lol. I'm just missing some new riser block for the rear leafs and some wheel spacers. Are your axles+tires the same width front and rear?? My rear axle is 3" shorter in the rear... Here are some pictures...

These rivets were a pain! lol

Thanks for looking!

I'll post some more pictures when everything is done.

Keep an eye on the top tabs of the passenger side bracket, they break.

After less than 1,000 miles on the truck.

Problem solved.

 

[Tharockus]

Noted! I'll keep an eye on that.

I've just finished the rear suspension. I'm only missing the center caps for the rims. I ordered them on Ebay. I'm pretty happy with the way it looks now! I'll put up some pictures when I'm done cleaning it later today

How do those coils ride?

Well here are the pictures... I didn't install the ad-a-leaf that came with the kit. The OEM leaf spring (4 pack) that I got lifted it more then I thought. There are not from Ford, but a company here in Edmonton who makes them. I just added a 4" tapered block. I know it's not the best but for what I use the truck for and the price/time to install, It's best for me. And it doesn't stiffen up the ride too much .

I don't know if all the Rangers are like that but on mine, if you measured the outside of the tires, the front axle are 3" wider then the rear. I bought some bolt-on spacers (1.5").

Before... This as just been bugging for a while...

After... Looks more of a complete truck now

4" tapered lift block and 1.5" wheel spacers (actually from rough country)

Mud Flaps...

All cleaned up.

I should get my center caps for the rims this week I hope. It should really complete the look I was looking for.

I've seen somebody installed a front valance from a 1994. the one with the fog lights. I'm thinking of installing that eventually. Just have to find the parts.

Those coils have been riding pretty good. I removed the front sway bar to get a bit more flex but it still drives pretty close to stock. There not too stiff.

What tail lights are those?

 

[Tharockus]

Not sure... There's no name on them. I bought them used from a guy in town. He said he bought them on Ebay. Nice man, you pretty much have the exact same truck as me, color and everything lol

I have the same problem with mine.

 

[kris97ranger]

i thought i read somewhere that they made the rear narrower so they track better. i notice it much more on chevs though

Yeah! That's exactly what I heard to from a very old mechanic, he's been around lol. I was kinda curious about it. Most trucks have that but some are more noticeable then others. Most of the toyotas are pretty much dead straight. Anyways, I'm still happy I bought the spacers.

They are IPCW clear tailights by the way if you are still wondering.
