It's that same as my 92. Different body but same suspension. I HIGHLY suggest GRAVITY WERX front bag brackets. They are sooo much better than the SD ones. Plus, they allow you to use 2600lb bags instead of 2500's.

Get the radius arm cross member from SD. You can get a raised trans crossmember from just about anywhere. Just make sure it's the type that bolts inside the frame, not thru the frame with bolts/nuts protruding below the frame. Or they'll get scraped off or smashed.

Bag the back first.

Well for starters you will deffinatly need DJM drop beams, the radius and tranny crossmembers before you start anything. This will allow you to lay true frame completly flat. There actually not that hard to bag unless you are trying to lay 20s on beams and then it just takes some more work. Just make sure you can weld and have some common sence and you should be pretty good with the help of a good forum.

are these the brackets you are talkin about?

 

[slammedxonair]

those work but there not the best design. I personally would use them on anything over a 17 with low pro tire and even then i probably wouldnt use them. These are a way better design and also allow you to use a 2500 or 2600 bag where the others are limited to a 2500 bag http://www.illusivefabrications.com...file=product_info&cPath=29_36&products_id=321 and theres allways the option to make custom tubular brackets.

Don't use those brackets. They're junk. These are much better and they look similar to the ones slammedxonair sells.

Brian, are these the same???

Pretty much, silver star customs originally started selling them but never updated them on there site. When I first bagged my X i made a setup like that one off that fit a 2600 but it was just what I thought was a good idea and design. It was actually made out of 3/16 plate and help up fine.

so were do i get front bag mounts from??an can i still bag it if i dont get the drop beam right away???. i kno it just wony lay frame?

 

[slammedxonair]

when bagging the front of a ranger buy djm drop beams, then the radius arm relocators and then the bag brackets. Drop beams will give you better camber, radius relocators give you ground clearance and correct caster and wheel arc. If you dont install in that order you will have to replace the bag brackets later when you fix everything or try to lay out. The brackets I posted above are the ones you want to go with.

stock ibeams say on them do not heat weld or bend, so if you were to bag on stock beams, you will have more frame and crossmember to trim and will have to make a custom bolt on lower bag backet.

 

[dj224ranger]

whaen you get the radius crossmember (if thats what your talking abourt ) it spreads the back of your radious arms out, when you do this can you still use stock shock location or do you have to make a new one?

 

[slammedxonair]

Yea you can use them, but when you bag tou have to make a custom upper shock mount or use a universal one.

 

[dj224ranger]

so if i have stock susupenion in the front with dream beams without bags, i can still use the radius crossmember to get more ground clearenc eand the shock mounts will still work?
