I have a 98 ranger and i currently have 33/12.5/16's. I have a t bar crank, and 2" bl. now to my question...

Has anyone heard or seen someone make there own drop brackets or got more lift from there 98 without buying the stupid expensive lift..

OR wondering if i could do a coilover conversion to the front and gain 2+ inches from the front...

PLEASE HELP ME

No. You need more than just drop brackets. The Superlift uses drop brackets for the t-bar crossmember and front diff but uses dropped knuckles for the hubs since the control arms aren't going anywhere. That's where you can't just fab something up.

That would cost more in time and money than just buying the Superlift kit.

An SAS is doable but a lot of fab work on a 98+ because there aren't any coil buckets. It is what it is.
