Wow man really impressive work. I think your truck is now my favorite TTB rig out there. Makes me want to get another 3rd gen and build it to something like yours.

So with less of a drop on the pitan arm do u think you coulda left the driver's side linkage straight? Where did u buy the ends used on the tubing?

throughout 95% of the suspension cycle, the beams run perfectly parrallel with the beams. So the pitman arm I have is perfect. I tried an FA600 and it was WAY too much drop for the lift I have.

No real updates lately. Been too busy winterizing the house.

Have to do a waterpump here this weekend and will take it on some trails around the house. Will get photos ( I know y'all are photo whores! )

What's ur rear suspension setup consist of? Does it flex pretty good and are u happy with it?

 

[brinker88]

Rear suspension is a combination bastard leaf pack. Main leaf is explorer, 2nd is ranger, 3rd is explorer, and the rest are ranger. It's a 6 leaf pack. I wanted a little extra towing capacity due to me hauling the trailer around with it. I also have belltech lift shackles on it. I eliminated the block completely and have ballistic fabrication spring perches welded to the axle. They cut down on axle wrap a lot due to them being 2 or 3 inches longer than the stock ones. Shocks are the same as the front. BDS shock with 20.4 compressed and 35.5 extended.

It flexes pretty well. This is not full droop either. I can also stuff the back tire very well.

I guess its time to buy another Ranger and try a new set up. You keep this up and you'll have a whole stable!

I hate when I come across something for the right price that I just have to have...

Is the 44 L/S with 4.10s or Open with 3.50s? (That is if memory serves me )

It's going to be at LEAST 2 years down the road. I just figured I should pick it up for the price. That's dirt cheap. And it's a 4.10 open.

Im going to narrow it 6" and use the broncograveyard HD EB passenger side axle shaft that uses the 760x joints.
