A little intro:

Due to the influx of new ranger owners, and more people starting to learn the ways of the lowered and adjustable suspension we have had numerous post made with the same questions over and over.

While we welcome everyone to our realm, we ask you do a few things. Please when asking questions or making a post please do a search of the boards for the topics you are making the post about. If it is a general topic many posts will come up. Please think out your questions before asking them so you get more direct precise answers.

Also please if you ask for our help and the answer involved is something you did not want to hear but you knew it was coming do not treat us badly, or tell us we do not know b/c chances are we have been there done that and have been doing it a lot longer than most . If you start a flame war over something stupid, you will lose access to this board and possibly the whole site AT OUR DISCRETION.

Please fasten all your seatbelts, drop the ride height and watch for any Mt. Everest sized speed bumps while on your journey into the world of the Lowered Boards.

thats awesome...its about time someone stickied this stuff. Now we just need a "These wheels will fit a ranger" sticky. Also, why do you have a picture of "tom" for ur avatar?

I'm not gonna take any credit for this, Blausplash had all this stuff stickied for a long ass time before i made this post :) I just threw it all into one thread and mostly just compiled all the info he had worked up. Nearly all of the credit for this stuff goes to him!

About the av, it's just a joke.

right on...well thanks blau...

Hey man where did yall get the info on the engine driven? and who can i talk to about i want to know becuase i want to put one in my 00 ranger. So please let me asap.

Can i drop my 04 edge 2wd with out any money ? how far can i drop it without going with bags?

:naughty: I have a 95 with 3" drop dream beams, can you use 2" drop springs with the beams and still expect to get a good alinment? and do they sell the springs, or are they cut and if they are cut about how many coils are cut off? thanx

NO

i notice that a lot of people with 89-92 rangers change their front suspension to mustand II or yota.
why is that?

Because they are easier than messing with beam when you bag.

Do they fit or is there a lot of fabrication that needs to be done in order for them to fit?
im going to get a square body but i dont understand the concept of putting different front suspensions.

Its not bolt on, but they are not that hard to fab up.

oh okay. which one do you think is better to use a yota or mustang II?
are they hard parts to come by?

alright so about the parallel 4 link.
the link itself is under the frame right?
so would it lay on the link or what? how would it be on the frame?

can you bag a 2006 ranger sport?

You can bag anything if you want to / have the skills lol. But seriously does it have torsion bars or a coil front end? I've never seen them but have heard both ways.

the ranger XLT uses coils. the ranger edge,sport,and 4x4 all use torsions
