Hello from maryland!
Hey guys, Names Justin. 31 yrs old. From Maryland. I enjoy target Shooting, 4 wheeling and turning wrenches.
I just bought an 05' Ranger after my 97 Dodge Dakota(wich was a good truck to me until the end..) finally bit it. Figured I would try to become part of a community. I have plans to mildly mod my Ranger to better utilize its off road capabilities and hopefully increase power a little bit.
I would also like to eventually level the front end a little bit.
I LOVE this truck!! The 4.10 gears and Limited slip rear make it a beast off road and in the snow.
once I figure out how to post pics, I will. until then, Im off to browse the forums.
Thanks Aaron!

Re: Hello from maryland!
Welcome from TN! Nice truck! If you want to level the truck, you might want to consider cranking the t-bars. It's easy, cheap, and all you need to do is check your alignment after doing it.

Re: Hello from maryland!
Wow, Thanks!
I have to look at that option. Seems like it is right easy to do. Any negative effects besides the alignment issue?

Re: Hello from maryland!
Thanks for the warm welcome guys..I have to get under it to see better but I glanced today...nothing that resembles the torsion bars from the How to thread...I guess I have to look more thoroughly.
fx4 level 2 is top of the line?lol. Man, I feel better and better about it everyday. I got it for a steal with only 45 K on it.
One question though...do they all ride like you are dragging a sack of potatos and it keeps catching on bumps or something?
