It's overkill I know until you learn I'm wanting to run 44inch to 54inch tires under her. Monster truck status I know. I was wanting to know if anyone has had any luck with installing Dana 80s front and rear on a ranger? If so, do you have any hints or tricks to help me in my install? Thanks a million!

It would be the exact same as any solid axle install. The axles may take the abuse from 54's, but what about the Ranger chassis?

Relocate the spring perches out back if using leaf springs. Like stated, same setup as any sas. All depends on what setup you want. I'm running 47's...

Thanks everyone. I was thinking of 4, maybe 5 or 6 link suspensions front and back. I know I'll need a basket in the middle of the boxed frame. Does anyone else have a better idea, or just shoot bigger springs and shocks at it? Thanks!
