I have been around a long time. We will see what happens.

So all you did was run jeep coils and did this give you any lift and how much flex?

It gave zero lift. Lift is only for people who care about cutting body panels to get tires to fit.

If I had to guess we nearly doubled the suspension travel (Flex). As stated previously some of the "flex" is due to the body mounts up front being toast.

I am happy with the upgrades and so is the owner.

We have 31s on it now BUT we could fit 33s but it will require beating in pinch welds on the cab and trimming the bumper. Unless you plan on putting in bigger shock towers decide if you want to limit up travel or down travel because the stock setup does not allow for enough shock travel.

Parts you will need
V8 ZJ coils

2 inch Jeep coil spacers (one needs trimmed a little) once you put the coils in you will see why.

Stud extenders MITE be needed for the bottom retainer but we were able to get away without using them because we backed the bottom stud out a little to allow it to thread the nut on.

Coil spring compressor is a MUST

26+ inch brake lines are a MUST. Check summit racing we got away for about 75 bucks.

We spend 30 bucks on junk yard coils, 75 on brake lines, the spacers should cost 30-50 for the set, the coils require some LARGE washers to hold them down but I am unsure of what size.

You should be able to do this "upgrade" for between 100 and 200 dollars as long as you can find the v8 ZJ coils cheap.

Dont completely remove the sway bar because it mite be to unstable for you to drive.

With that being said if you kill yourself its not my fault! This ranger is NOT easy to drive on the road so keep that in mind!

I now own a trailer so maybe I will beat you to the punch and pull my junk out your way.

I scored a np435/205 combo and a 79 HP44 and a 9 for my build on Sunday for free. The F150 is getting built correctly so when I roll it I dont have to worry about damage.

It should not be to terrible with sway bars.

Up to a foot of snow expected in the next 36 hrs and project cheap bastard is loaded on the trailer awaiting its owner to show up. Breaking in 2 new rigs with up to a foot of snow expected mite be a class A disaster. As long as we dont **** up my buddies freshly finished jeep I will be happy. The Ranger mite have to get sacrificed.

FYI the 95 YJ has a 99 vortec 4.3 (no its not a hillbilly carb special, TRUE EFI), sm465, 4to1 231, 4 inch lift 34 10.5 15s. Lockers soon to come.

You guys see why sacrificing the ranger mite be the better choice?

The Owner of the ranger should be picture whoring it up.

not tryin to be an ass but looks like the core support bein rusted out greatly increases flex as well

 

[Chance]

Huh... so, uh, has it been wheeled to death yet? I'm assuming all the glass is gone by now... and every body panel is a dirtier of a whore than twenty pornstars combined...

... I'll be waiting for the action pics... eventually...
