So I've got a 2001 ranger with a 6 inch suspension lift and I'm having problems with the upper control arms comming into contact with the coil buckets and not allowing me all my travel, so I was wondering if i could cut a section out of the coil bucket so they stop comming into contact?? Anybody done this??

its the nature of the beast with the stock short upper control arms. you need to limit your down travel. I know that's not the anwser you wanted to hear....

im not sure about this, but it looks like the fabtech uca's bend down, to allow clearance, and the suspension max look like just beefed up stock ones, maybe if you switch, you might see better down travel. or you switch over to camburg spindles and ucas
