title says it, first time build, may be slow cause i am building a 72 triumph bobber right now also. anyways i just bought this truck 2 weeks ago after a long process of finding a ranger i bought this for 2g. truck specs are 93 ext cab 3.0 auto 4.88s 35 in km1s 6 inch skyjacker? and 3 in bl. explorer power seats and centre console. i do work at a shop with a fab department and have a bit experience and am the painter at the shop. will be doing most work myself and with my old man. looking to make some good homebrew mods. i have a short drive to work so im mostly geared toward the weekend wheeler. anyone with any recommendations or ideas or critiques are greatly appreciated as i dont know exactly what to do.

future mods

dont know how well the pictures are but i broke the rear passenger shackle hanger off. noticed in when i was putting the shock that popped out back in the tower. have the hangers have made at work. am thinkin to move the shackle mount down 2 inches and maybe make my own shackles a couple inches longer or just order belltechs and than i can take te rear blocks out? let me know if anyone has opinions or if any complications can occur if i lower the mount and lengthen the shackles
