I love how you have the fogs in the stock location. I see so many rangers with the fog light valance driving around without the fog lights and they look pretty bad.

Thanks man. I was like that for a while (haha) im glad I finally got my lights in. One of the best things I have done so far. Harbor freight lights, brackets from Lowes, fog light bezel and fog light kit from buggman makes it look stock to the untrained eye.

Re: Wilson's 96 ranger
No problem man, those look good on there. 100% better than those flag mirrors!

I think it would look good lowered with that front bumper.

I agree. That's one reason I got the fog lights for when I lower it. I don't mind lifts but I've had a lowered truck before and I defiantly want one again. If mine was 4wd I'd be all over a lift though

Most likely a 2/4. My blazer I had was lowered 5 inches and I loved it, but creeping over railroad tracks and speed bumps got kinda old. I think 2/4 will be perfect for my truck.

Hooray another future 2/4! Just enough to get a good effect yes. And at a good price as well.

Agreed 100%. Good in every way. Im sure I'll want to go lower but hopefully it will be enough to satisfy me. 2 inches can make a big difference

Yes. I'm just waiting to do mine when I get new shocks. I need some and there's no point in getting stock shocks if I'm going lower anyway. So I'll get the shocks along with drop coils and the flip kit.
Have your shackles been flipped?

Yeah might as well do it then. I will need new shocks sometime too so ill probably do the same.
Nah, sure hasn't. Haven't done anything to the suspension. Me and my dad are trying to go about how to do this and if we are able to just us two lol. My dad has bad knees and can't do alot and im still learning, so we got some planning to do.

Getting the bed off was a task. I'm not worth anything in the lifting department (I don't even lift) so my dad and a neighbor had to do it. Pretty much everything else was easy. It's just grinding off the rivets and replacing them in the right way.
