Ok guys so im getting ready to lift my 2wd 05 ranger, i was originally looking at some of the lift kits and other ideas but im just not convinced they are what i want so i got this idea to SAS my 2wd.
The idea is to swap leaf springs with a soild non-drive axle from a jeep 2wd. i dont forsee the spring swap being a huge issue, and the brakes shouldnt be a problem, the biggest problem i can forsee is the steering... the truck currently has the IFS steering and if i convert it i will need to get a steering box to match up, thats where i need some help, will the shaft from my truck go into a 4x4 rangers steering box or maybe a toyota steering box?
I havent started this yet and i would appreciate any ideas you guys have. i will also start posting pics of this swap.
Thanks alot
