new happenings: 5.5" coils were 2 long, trade for a set of 4" EB coils, worked out nicely. I made them fit in Ranger buckets with some mods to the tabs and grinded alittle bit out. 4.11's installed by Tranny Tom, thx again mad props.

Could get a little more body lift with a polyurathane body mount swap, the rubber ones seem squished.

But, lookin pretty good!! Definitely be fun off road.

fixed the spring bow today, the secret is to mount each lower coil seat the same direction hint hint.
