Re: Explorer vs Ranger rear leafs
I’ve been running leaf springs from a 4 door expo for a few years now. They are stiffer than any of the stock ranger spring options (there were three of them). I don’t know what their is exact...

Re: Front gear ratio change
BTF’s kit is $2,800 ish, but you supply the coilovers and shock hoops.
8” of movement at the coilover is 14” of movement at the wheel, which is a ton of travel.
It’s up to you, but I...

Re: RC 5in lift
Pre 2003, 4wd Rangers has 11.25” rotors. Mid 2003, Ford switched to 12” rotors on the 4wds

Re: 2005 Ranger torsion bar lift/clunk
Ahhh.
3” is too much adjustment on stock suspension. I bet if you look at your upper control arms they are very close to hitting the frame.
Be sure to get it aligned after you adjust the...

Re: 2005 Ranger torsion bar lift/clunk

Re: 2005 Ranger torsion bar lift/clunk
The problem is in the question. “Torsion key lift”.
Did you crank the stock torsion keys or buy aftermarket “lift” keys?
Adjusting the torsion bars adds more pre-load to the suspension,...

Re: Body Lifts
If you have torsion bars, then you also have a factory 2.5” lift block in the rear. If the “lift” kit you’re looking at comes with lift blocks, run away. Stacked blocks are bad news. Shackles are a...

Nothing wrong with ballin on a budget, but I would make a couple changes to your plan, if it were me.
