About a year and a half ago I was wheeling with the club I go with, I came off a 4-5 foot ledge and my rear reciver hit hard when my tires droped down. In doing so it bent my frame upwards right next to the shock mounts.

Have you thought about mustang shorty headers? I had a set but the 351 was too wide. Otherwise they would have been an easy fit

Haven't really thought about it yet, what I have found online with the newer rangers is that they interfere with the steering ,but my steering goes to the out side of the frame now since I did the sas. Haven't really seen any 351 builds , all I have found were 302s
