Hi all,
I'm looking to build my 2004 4x4 ranger XLT rather extensively and am realizing I'm better at wrenching than ordering parts. As of right now my plan is to run the Ricks Rangerz Coil conversion kit, BTF fab uniball UCAs, fox 980-02-001 in the front (although I would like to run remote reservoirs in the front). Would lift the front about 2-3 inches. I'm curious if anyone has done anything similar and how did it come out? Any guidance on the coil conversion? Also, if anyone did a similar build, what did you do in the rear? Im thinking fox 2.0 and a 2 inch lift would do the job (I would also like to run remote reservoirs in the rear). Just looking for something to do moderate crawling/wheeling and drive better on the highway.
