Redid my alignment. Had my camber bushings backwards the first time and it had about -9 degrees of caster. Solid now and has a straight wheel with no more pulling. Love having access to the alignment rack at work.

Lol like I said apart from sandblasting (took the longest) it was fairly straight forward. You need a new rear axle? I begged him to just swap the carriers because it would be easier, he said he didn't want to mess with that so we "rebuilt" an explorer axle. You will need to use the shock mounts from your axle and weld them to the new one. Leaf spring mounts also need flipped because on explorers they're on the bottom. Cutting, welding, sandblasting, replacing everything that needed it (basically everything exposed outside the axle), rebuilt the calipers because they were still good, flushed the whole thing out (gonna drive it for the winter then swap fluid in the spring just to be safe), lots of little things. It's a fun project and I had good reasons for doing it.
What's your's?

Not to it, but with it. Drifted in the rain! Lots of fun, got some footage but it's like dash cam footage so it didn't come out too well. If I could have gotten the steering wheel in there it would have been much better!

Then you have never lived! Haha when a man needs to use the facilities, the Ford Ranger evolves into a McLaren MP4-12C
