Pulling the trigger on this upgrade. Re-read the how-to again and see it mentions bracing the backside of the coil bucket but no pictures. This is going on my 90 Ranger, with 6" Skyjacker (too stiff) springs and Tuff Country brackets and extended radius arms. I measured for 28" extended length shocks (which should be here today and will be 16" collapsed). Allowing for the nutcracker leverage of the TTB, that SHOULD allow up to 18" or so of travel (which I will be more than happy with!!!), but expect about 15" or so.
I was discussing this last night with a friend (already have the towers in hand @ $15.75 each), and we were discussing ways to reinforce and stiffen the back of the bucket and the F250 part when I weld them together.
Just wondering who else has done the swap and what reinforcement has been done. Pics would be nice too. Thanks!
