93 ranger 3/4 ton sas with leaf leaf springs and v8 swap

[bobbywalter]

i dont know. some bracing seems to be in order, but for its intended use sure seems it will be ok. and it seems the bracing just has not happened yet but was in the plans


i suggest to invest in a set of lift springs so you can shorten the stilts 4 inches or so and minimize the bracing needed.


careful/sensible selection of steering and i wouldnt be worried about it driving past me on the road

I wouldn't be to worried of it driving on the road either
























If you catch my drift

no its definatley not done nor did i ever say it was completley done i said its on its own weight i even told one a guy a couple post's back i am going to brace it when my dad gets home because he is doing the welding for me.

Im starting to put the motor in this week ill keep the updates comin when i get some more work done.

and im going to make new front mounts when i get a new job and can afford new lift springs but this truck is part of a project i have to do to graduate high school this year. and had to be done by the end of february and my is working out of state so we had to do what we could to get it done and high enough to fit bigger tires for the project. but i will be driving it like this for awhile once i brace it and put the new motor in.

most people are being nice about there advice and im looking in to the front hangar's but that guy was just bein a dick and pissed me off no offense to anyone else

im not being a dick, if u would like me to be a dick continue cursing up a storm on a public forum, you asked if i built my truck that way and i gave u my honest answer, sucks that honesty hurts huh

nice truck + immaturity + lack of money + crazy idea = This truck, which i highly doubt will be as good as it was before. Never know though.
