alright guys... I've been reading and searching but im still a bit confused about what i need to fully lay out in the front of my 97 ranger. my main question is with drop i-beams will i have enough room to lay out? i know about the crosmembers and stuff, but i dont get the i beam part of it. i know it can lower the truck 2 inches, but how would i get it to lay out?
thanks guys

get djm dream beams notch for tie rods and get rid of inner fenders and some sort of bag mount and u shud be fine. also the dream beams give a 3" drop.

Yes you should get the DJM's they help you get the most clearence. Also ditto to what he said on the notching for tie rods, installing bag mounts etc... I highly recomend for $$$ sake to install the radius arm crossmembers and the I beams at the same time before you get an alignment if you static drop your truck till you get it bagged.

cool. thanks guys.

yea deffinatly make sure you install radius relocators before even attempting bagging it to fix the geometry.
