I've been toying with the idea of 4 linking the rear of the ranger. I am sure it will have much better articulation....but what I really want to do it for is to stop the god awful axle wrap. I know, I can use a traction bar but that is just no fun or challenging.

DO IT!

I was going to link both ends of the Mounty with coil overs. Then I priced it out. Coils and leaves sound just fine. The rest can be phases 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 and...

Ugh. This build is turning out sweet. I get too many ideas for my ranger on here, but I don't have the money for it, and I need an engine.:annoyed:

Also, I'm glad to see someone is driving a 6.0 the way they are supposed to be driven.:headbang:

6.0s can be turned nasty quick. gotta watch the EGTs though. But take them out, and open them up and the EGRC will remain unplugged.

2000 super duty box. Is it the same part? I have read a lot of fords have the same box. Or is it heavier duty?

My 99 F350 has two different box options for it. I don't recall the pitman arm spline count but mine uses the smaller one of the two. Darn Ford and their mid year changes.

Went out to Badlands off road park today with my son. It was his first time driving offroad.

All went good, didn't do any crazy stuff since we were basically the only ones there in the whole park. The last 30 min or so of the day I blew out the seal in the steering box. This is the third time in this truck. I think it is time to put in a hydro assist.
