well..got bored, and ive been thinking about getting explorer leafs.. but i went out may long to mclean creek, and was very suprised to see how much flex there was!!
now about 2 years ago i got after market leafs. my stock ones had cracked.
im wondering if this had to do with it. hmm.
so anyways, i went out today with a couple ramps, and tested it out.

ive decided im not going to bother with explorer leafs..i dont want to have the tire crammed all the way in the wells because im getting 33"s..i dont need rubbing issues but im going to disconect the front sway bar sometime next week if not this week. and see if that gives the front end abit more without having a ton of body roll around corners

 

[basshead]

well, completely took off my front sway bar..
i tried to just disconect the links, but the sway bar just flopped around and made alot of noise so it wasnt going to work that way.
i can deffinatly notice the body roll going around corners now if i go to hard around a corner the inside back tire likes to chirp lol kinda sketchy...
but on another note, i flexed out the suspension on a rock and there is a noticable difference !! ill take some pics to show flex now.

Truck is looking pretty good, now all you need is a 05+ front end, and you'll be styling like the rest of us Calgary folk

I'm going to be mounting my hilift to the fender like the pic that Kirk posted...

Changing your leaf springs won't change the up travel your truck has, it will only change the ride height, droop, and spring rate... Your bump stops will stop the tire from going any higher than it currently does...

Kirk, the guy with all of the rangers, can you find out if he has any with a manual? I need the rubber gasket thing that goes around the shifter, on the floor, and the plastic ring that goes at the base of the shifter boot, that snaps into the consolette thing....

oh! i thought the leafs changed the travel because of different stiffness..
that makes sense now..
i wanted to mount my highlift like the pic posted but my roll bar is in the way,
im planning on getting a tube front bumper so im not going to bother getting a new front end. plus i just bought my headlights haha and i have no complaints i love em.

See if you can put the 99-04 grill on yours, the honeycomb grill is (IMO) the nicest ranger grill they made... I know you can get a power dome hood to fit too...

I wanted the honey comb grill for my truck, but they don't make them for the 05+ trucks only for the flat hood line like yours, they do have a 3 sectioned honeycomb for mine, but it's sin ugly...
