Hahaha it's all good, I am definitely a smart ass myself so I can take it!

I already have a full sized d44 front and d60 rear (although a dana 60 seems a bit much for the little 2.9l v6) that I want to swap in... just don't have the money to rebuild those axles and redo driveshafts, etc. nor the time to sit down and do the right fabrication to fit them underneath the Ranger.

The SAS is a MUST I know this for sure and have already determined it to be one of the first things I need to do as soon as I can afford it, but I'm just trying to get by for now without it.

I like to think I'm a pretty good welder/fabricator but I'm definitely not confident in putting in suspension systems yet haha. But trust me, a flat bed is already in the works.

BTW I am already loving the great insight this forum is giving me, I think the best thing I could have done for that truck is join this group.
