Well this is all new ball game for me or at least trying to setup truck to handle jumps well, little background have built several crawlers, but looking to get into local tuff truck series in Missouri that started last year with a group that does Figure 8 racing also.
This will be my official build thread, Im, currently still gather parts:
Truck will be 4wd Reg cab, short bed, 95-97 Ranger- searching for good body, not rotted frame doesnt have to run -LOL
Allready purchased used James Duff front kit, price was extremely right and will be decent start till I can learn more about Coilovers
The front will consist of Duff 5.5 I beam drops, Longarms with heims, there progressive rate coils and dual shocks
Rear thinking about buying Deaver Race series Ranger springs 2 1/2 in lift springs
Unsure on rear shocks for now
Truck will run 97 Explorer 5.0, 5spd and Manual 4406 transfer case -Have everything allready
just need radiator, engine mounts, and headers...
Truck will sit up about 5.5 inch in front and 2 1/2 rear
Running rear 98 explorer 8.8 disk brake axle, will have 4.10 and is LS
I have 265-75-16 Pro Comp Extreme Allterrains (31s) that gonna run for now, for the course that should be fine
******Side note and what got me hooked was running one event last year in very worn 94 Ranger, with stock suspension and took 1st made $500 so that was what got me addicted******
