my first ranger


I'm assuming your tires are BFG re-caps? I've never seen a BFG a/t w/ that tread pattern!! For your bumper I would do the 45's around the corners for some protection . I like how your winch is mounted low and center. gives it a real custom look!!

yea theyre retreads from treadwright, ive got nothing but good things to say about them. i really wanted to keep the winch low and tucked in as close as i could to keep it protected.

i love summit, found this on my door step this morning.

placed my order thursday. 3" bl, body bushings, a clamp and a 2.5" u-bend.
 
body lift is on, ill grab some pics tomorrow as it was dark when i finished. plan on double checking everything tomorrow just to be sure. possibly going to reroute the exhaust. contemplating fabbing up some new rear shackle hangers similar to this...

basically id like to be able to do the chevy swap with flipped shackles but not lose height.

I like that idea

Edit: After looking at mine a little, the only way that would work is if you drop it a ton to keep the spring in the same position, so like 10" or so(I have extended shackels)......am I wrong?

it wasnt too bad, all in all it took me about 9 hours by myself. woulda gone faster if id have had some proper cutting tools. im pretty pleased with it, i have to step up just a bit to get behind the wheel now.
 
What you going to do with the exhaust u bend?
 
got my brackets today and want to gusset them, just curious if you guys think theres anywhere else i should gusset them. gussets planned are shown in yellow.

would the FA600 pitman arm be the right choice for my truck? (6" coils, 4" brackets)

Yes that would be a good place to gusset. Theses are ok brackets, they jsut need reinforced unless you don't plan on off road use.
I had a set that I was going to use on my ranger before I destroyed the D28 last winter.
The pitman arm should be ok.
 
i would prefer to have some skyjacker brackets but got a good deal on these, if i find a set before i lift the truck ill just sell these.
