Default Re: lift

not to add fuel to the fire. but I would check your ball joints, CVs, and bearings on that thing. Odds are somethings bad because of how bad of angle, stress and large tires its put the suspension is under.

ok so i jacked the front off the ground and put a clamp tool on the the key to take the weight off it twisted the bolt heads so now i guess i cut the dam things out.and replace the bolts. i applied heat till the bolt was cherry red wouldnt budge so tomorrow break out the torch set. by by bolt.

----------

yes sb it had 36" tires on it when i bought it dam young guys.i put 32" tires on.. i replaced the bearings 4x4 dont work no locking hubs and the vac line is broke some where so ill have that fixed before winter.a real pos i figured who would spend 12-1500 for tires if the 4x4 dont work so i didnt check it

I would like to raise the front end only to even out my 94 Ranger Splash, can you advise what I'll need or what kit is best to use for this. Thanks for the information.
