Camp vehicle build

[Cody Ray]

Hi everyone! In order to graduate with an associate degree in automotive technology I need to complete a special project. So I have chosen to modify my stock 2001 2wd Ranger to make it more capable on forest service roads and off road in general. Right now I'm just waiting on some scholarship money to be dispersed. Here is my parts list as of now:
2.5" control arms
Eibach coil springs
Bilstein 5100 shocks front and rear
Deaver F31 leaf springs
KMC XD 15" Enduro wheels
31" General Grabber tires
4.10 gears (to maintain factory power)
Custom built tube bumper w/skid plate

I have been looking forward to this for several years, I can hardly contain myself

I'd add a locker in the rear axle..... I agreed with the 4.10 ratio until I read 31" tires.

Might as well go 4.56 for that tall of a tire.
