A little longer you mean two paragraphs that was a joke to literature. If they hadn't took so many pictures the article would have been less than half a column on half a page. Someone's picture worth a thousand words got abused.

They BARELY made mention of the Whipple kit, a one word line in a setence isn't an adversitement for them.

One thing I took notice of in that article was the'brackets to move the Edge's upper and lower control arms up' to allow easy laying crossmember. Sounds like something we Edge guys could use, but then they went on to say that the stock 'coil springs' were replaced with shockwaves. The writers of sporttruck don't seem very knowledgable about things. Edges come with torsion bars not coils. In the same issue, they have an article about a 383 stroker kit that is written pretty bad. The whole article is structured around the formula for finding displacement, and the author doesn't understand it. "pi x radius squared x stroke x # cylinders" was kind of mentioned once, but it was stated as diameter squared and the reasoning behind squaring it was to include the top and bottom of the cylinder.....other articles weren't written much better. I love the pictures, but they need to get some real writers. Back to the ranger, the interior looks pretty nice, but I'm not a fan of the blow-molded looking sub box and amp rack.

I reread it, they made a BO BO. It says it's running BC 19 x 10 rims out back with Nitto 275/35R20s. I didn't know you could mount 20" tires on a 19" rim!!!!!:drunk:

Yeah I saw that too. I think if you look closer one of the tire sizes is stated as being a 36 series too :). I guess a 275/36/20 will fit on a 19" rim but not a 35 series......hahahah.
