Re: 2004 DJM 2/3 lowering Ranger

It'll make the ride rougher. Get some calmax shocks for the front and it'll be close to stock, just lowered

Re: Just checking before I buy

They're a 45mm offset. I was told that would work with my Ranger as long as the hub fits through, which it does. I've testfitted the wheels.

Re: 5/8

Yes. Anytime you go lower you will have negative camber. While, on the other hand, lifting your truck will give you positive camber.

How does it drive nintey5ranger? Did you have to notch your...

Those look fantastic! I'll have to look into more Buggman stuff. Here's what I have now:

Re: Where to start???

What is your budget? How low are you wanting?

From a cost standpoint, you can do a decent 2/3 drop for about $200-250. That will be a flip kit + new shackle in the rear and drop springs. Most...

Re: rim questiob

This forum doesn't have as large of a community, and more so, not as large of a mini-truck community as TRS/RPS.

On that note, you should be okay with 45offset. Might have a bit of rubbing but no...

Re: Tint

In almost every state, you can have whatever you want on the back. You can even spraypaint the rear windows black. I'm running 5% on my rears and sides. I personally think it's too light, so I'm...

Re: Tint

5% is good. I went 5% on back and 15% on sides.. should have done 5% on sides.

It would look a lot better without the ricer tails :)

Re: Where can I mount this bass control thing?

In my 1993 Ranger, I have it tucked under the middle seat. It's out of sight. I intend on tearing out my dash soon to place it somewhere in the dash.

Re: Trimming inner fender ideas

Oh, my bad. I thought this was the rear, and then I re-read and I don't know how I thought the rear.

I'm not 100% sure then. You may want to hop over to therangerstation or rangerpowersports....

Re: Trimming inner fender ideas

First off, nice truck bro. I'm not a fan of crown vics and stuff on 24's or anything, but I honestly don't think your Ranger looks bad. It's different, but not terrible. I've seen worse :P

Re: So It Begins!

What are you running in the rear? I went with Nitro Slammer all the way around. The front isn't too bad, beside bottoming out on everything, but the rear sucks. It was nice at first, but anything is...

Re: can you tell me if my truck was lowered??

Rear isn't lowered, I know that for sure. Axel is in the proper location and 5in seems about right (I'm lowered 4in in the back and I've got less than an inch between the axel and bumpstop)

Do you...

Re: lowering 2000 2wd

haha. That wouldn't help. I would just get beams and flip the shackles, which, when added to my springs and flip kit, would give me 4/5 or more like 5/6.

Sorry :)

Re: So It Begins!

Really nice. How does it ride? My 2.5-3/4 rides like shit and I can't figure out why.

Edit: figured out why. I hit bumpstops over every bump and hiccup in the road. I have my rear ones but looks...

Re: Samsung Galaxy Tablet Stereo Install (CarPC)

Due to this thread, I just realized, after owning it for 6 months, that my Galaxy Tab 10.1's GPS can actually be used without wifi and 3g.

Re: do i really need 2 cats

Actually, most shops won't. Due to it being illegal in most states, they are at fault for cutting it off.

So is downloading music. Wrong? Yes. 95% of people do it? Yes. Cause more problems than removing a cat? Yes.
