FINALY lifting the ranger

[maclgallant]

Alright guy's

I'm starting this thread as i'm finally going to lift my Ranger
She's currently stock with 31's khumo kl71'si'll post pics
doing the prekey mod and shackle lift
i'm hoping to get 3-3.25" front(1.25" prekey with prekey then crank them 2") and close to 2" rear

here are pics how she looks now (well when she was new, a lot more scratches now haha)

alright guy's prekey mode in
rear shackles in
2.5" FRONT AND 2" rear
here are the pics (oh and i have 2 pro comp es3000 rear and 2 rancho rs5000 front) also welded 2 10,000 lbs hooks

Can you turn w/out rubbing?

 

[zFinster]

What exactly did you do to the front? Torsion crank? Keys? How much did you spend? Thanks.

Looks good.

That was my question...

I'm guessing TBar crank

 

[maclgallant]

sorry guy's never noticed i had some replies

as for your questions

there is no rubbing at all lock too lock

as for the lift, it's just a pre-key mod 1" then cranked 2" so i got about 3" total with new rancho rs5000
it actualy rides much smoother than stock, but thats probably because of the shocks

 

[maclgallant]

the only rubing i get is in the back when she flex's
i guess i'm gonna need to get a BL

 

[maclgallant]

oh i forgot to mention in the last 2 pics, i replaced the factory 1 1/4" blocks for 2.5" rough country blocks

 

[mitch4x4]

Your truck looks great!, so did you use both shackles and the blocks for the rear of your truck?

 

[maclgallant]

yes i removed the stock 1.25" block for rough country 2.5" block on top of the shackles which gave about 1.5" so i roughly got 3" in the back

i didn't like the truck leveled, if you take a look at one of my first pics i posted on this thread , the one where you see the truck sideways, the truck looks higher up front

since the front wheel wells "appear" to be bigger

also if i used my truck bed the truck squatted too much and looked ridiculus

so she sites about 3/4" higher in the back now i think it's perfect

 

[maclgallant]

i guess newer trucks use smaller blocks in the rear, i think 2008 or newer, someone could probably clarify this
