LongDistance Work

[wello]

I'm planning on working on my 03 Ranger as soon as I get back to the states. Kind of out of the country at the moment. Looking for advise, sugestions, and any other information that might be usefull along the way. I've lost my pictures, but will start to up-date as soon as I get them. Thanks.

And then, cut out any remaining sheet metal and replace it with some tube.

I've been looking online when I can, and I havne't found anything more than a 4IN suspension lift for the Double WishBone front end. I would be more than happy to look into finding out if I can do more that.

You could also look into a sloped body lift. Where it starts at 3" in the front and goes to nothing in the back. You can keep the 4" suspension lift in the front and go to 7" in the back.

I'm not a fan of tapered body lifts. If you have the skills, a solid front axle is definitely the way to go. If you don't, a 4" lift kit and 3" body lift would probably suit you for the time being.

There are companies with SFA kits in the works, I'd really like to see something on the market in the next year or two...

get the rcd 6" if its still available. it converts the front to coilovers and get rid of the torsion bars. a little spendy but i think it would be worth it if you don't want to go down the sas path.
