99 ranger how to make suspension flex?

[suzuki2903]

what are some things i can do or buy to get this truck to flex more in trails? its 4 wheel drive and i dont do any serious mudding etc just trails, rivers etc.. i thought about a lift kit but they are too damn expensive for this year and model.

i have 33 inch tires on the stock suspension torsion bars cranked up and plan on a body lift soon and maybe some rear shackles might help?

if i were to buy shocks that are intended for a lift kit say2-4 inch kit and some limiting straps would that help out much?

Best thing you can do on a stock truck by far is dump the swaybars. Because you have the SLA IFS you may notice a bit more bodyroll without them than you would on a TTB truck, although you only need to remove one end link on each bar to evaluate what the handling will be before removing it entirely.

Another thing is if the torsion bars are cranked TOO far, it won't flex as well.

yeah true with the torsions cranked up like they are that takes away travel. maybe I'll just leave the suspension alone and still go after the pre runner look i want and get an older ranger for offroading
