Re: Sam's 04 ranger expedition overland build!
This looks like its gonna be sick, don't do maxxtrax torsion keys, just crank your current ones for the same thing. I did it to mine an put 33s under stock.

Jack the front of your truck off the ground, take a 12-15mm ratchet (can't remember size) and turn the bolt on the lip end of your key, but keep track of # of turns ( treat ratchet handle like the hand on a clock) do same turns on both sides and take it for a front end alignment. Here's pics of stock on 33s, then prerunner glass and lift shackles

Yes, but the t bars weren't cranked yet. I got about 1 3/4" of lift by 3 rotations. And 2 1/3" by maxing them.

Re: Sam's 04 ranger expedition overland build!
The fenders were also a nice investment, as they give 3" larger opening and 4" wider than stock.

I bought mine through andysautosport, they're hannemann fiberglass. They were $320 for the set $396 with shipping. But fiberwerx makes some cooler ones for identical price.
