Hey guys, looking for info on a coilover conversion. I DO NOT have a SL. I just have TB's cranked so im on stock suspension. Heard there was a guy in Florida that did one on his stock suspension. I was looking for specs on the coilovers. Thanks!!

All sorts of guys have done a coilover conversion at this point.

Look over on the "other Ranger forum" (cant post a direct link) - for like a 50+ page thread titles coilover brackets or something like that.

Worse case - search for my username & coilover and you will see a thread over the past 5+ years where everyone posted information.

There is a member there "ME00Stepside" that is making the bracket kits. Also in that thread is all the coilover information (part #'s etc.) for both stock & Superlifted trucks.

Fox 2.0" Pro series
Long Rod Ends for 5/8" shaft

Yep - even the wording looks familiar!

However, that typo of mine from years back is still haunting me to this day! lol

You want part #213-01-238-A not 213-01-138-A.

That 213-01-238-A will be 4.488" in length & 3.75" to the center of the eye as is for the .625 shaft.



EDIT: The 12" spring length could be an issue as well. Might need to roll with: Eibach ERS 10" long 2.5" I.D. Coil spring - Spring Rate: 750lb. I believe the 12" setup is what the Superlifted guys have been using.

I just found info and copied for part numbers. They were going back in forth on whether it would be 12 or 10, but never got a for sure answer. I would go with 10 cause I imagine stone had the right info.

For stock I was planning on going with the 10". The 12" rides rather high on the body of the coilover (potential clearance issues).

I guess I deleted the pictures of the 5" travel coilover w/ a 12" spring - it's pretty high on the coilover (but wasn't adjusted yet). The "other Ranger forum" will still have my pictures loaded in that thread I mentioned earlier.

I physically typed what Stone posted years back. Those were the actual items I purchased (Hence the upgraded Chrome lol). Never installed though since I went with the RCD setup.

It has my original long rod part # typo in it as well....



I purchased my original stuff from Downsouth Motorsports: http://downsouthmotorsports.com/

I didn't order it online - I called & talked with them & they asked me a series of questions about how the truck would be used so they could setup the valving & everything in the Fox coilovers.

The "side to side" spacers will come with the coilovers (I ordered extras) & the "top" spacer now comes with the bracket kit - however, this was all "pre-bracket" information.
