So im going full widths on the Ranger. I have 5.13s, 14" Airshocks, AussieLocker, and some other fancy new stuff. Should have the axles all done on sunday then im taking a week off work to get everything all done. I was gonna wait to post till its done. But just couldnt wait im excited. I have 17" wheels and 37MTRs that are worn out t get it all mocked up. Next month ill get some new 37s for it. Heres the before, I will put up more pics of the pogress when it gets there.

God your truck reminds me of my ranger purdy shitty lol, drop a charger in it
 
o0 me too! I want to go with radius arms and air shocks before too long!
 
The front axle is all finished up. Gotta get the Detroit for the rear and new axles this week. Then its all ready to go in
 
Ok, the rear is all done except for shocks and brake hose. The front will be sitting on its owne weight tonight. We will just have break lines, steering, and track bar to finish. If anyone has a tapered ream that has a 7* taper for 1ton chev TREs let me know, I will rent it from you or something.

nice! make sure you keep us posted with pics, its looking good so far
 
What did you use for the rear suspension?

Did you move the rear axle back a few inches???:icon_confused:

I used 5" Trail Gears springs for a Toyota. They moved the axle back about 1.5". I will be putting the 6400 shackles on today. And I found a tapered reamer so I should have everything done but the blake lines. The springs worked great and seam to be very soft just sitting there. It was a pain in the arse to get the metal sleeves from the stock bushings into the yota ones then the bushings into ther new springs. Its is coming along good though.

Hmmm... I like that.
What Yota are they for? Stock Ranger mounts? Driveshaft fitment? Deminsions of the springs? Approx. lift? More pics?
I'm really interested in this. Any info would be great. You can PM me details if ya wanna keep the thread clean.
