Looks good. Do you plan to do anything to the rear suspension?

I actually built this for a friend. His original idea was not to "offroad" it, but he changed his mind. Now he wants to beat the crap out of it! So Monday morning I will be pulling the Fabtech front spindles off, and installing a Camburg 5.5 kit!

That grill is available from Ford. It's even prepainted! I have the chrome one for sale still.

I agree! This guy just changed his mind again! He is now having me install a CAMBURG 5.5 front end! I think he is up to near $12k in accessories. Sure looks nice though! I'll get some pictures of the lift up when I'm finished.

Hey im super curious about the tire and rim size you got on that ranger when it had the fabtech 5.5" lift. I wanna do that lift and havent figured out what size tires i want. I where can i get a light bar and skid plate like that? That truck looks absolutely amazing. Be curious to see how the camburg looks compared to the fabtech...

Question Re: 2010 BIG RED Build

You mean to tell us this guy bought a 2010 Ranger and then had you do these mods?

Does he have more money than brains?

He'd been money ahead to buy a late model salvaged wreck and then have the mods done.

Just my 02!

Hey Zach,

The rim/tire size are 33/12.5/15 x8.

To be honest, you really can't compare the Camburg to the Fabtech.
It's like comparing a Porche to a VW. For starters, the Fabtech is only a 3" lift and maintains stock width. The Camburg not only replaces the spindles to 5.5" lift but changes out the upper arm, springs, removes the stabilizer bar, adds limit straps, etc... The stance is wider as well!
Plus, you can add to this lift once you get more money. We charge about $2800 for this lift, where the Fabtech we charge about $600.

I'll see if I can dig up some photos. If you look at the yellow Ranger, it has Fabtech, the Red abviously Camburg. The front view of the Red truck is when it had the Fabtech on it.

As far as the light bar/bumper, we custom make all that stuff.

Just to let you know the spindle is still 3 inches but since you add the spring that gives you that extra 2.5". Also fabtech sells the same thing minus the 1.5" in track width addition and the uniball upper arm. But like you said comparing fabtech to camburg is like night and day. Those little 5.5 kits with a 2.0 upgrade work great.
