can i mabey get some pics or advise on these brackets. im using stonecrusher arm extensions and am wondering if a guy should make some spacers to go between the heim and mount for extra movement or just make the bracket just wide enough for the heim itself. thanx

yes, offroad only and thanks for the info about master cyl.

anyone used one of the universal crossmember kit from trans dapt? hows the quality?? they are around 100 bucks with mounting pads. thought it would be worth it since i cant find ex plates and have to build a new member anyway. lets here your thoughts

this is just what i have read, do not have both to compare. could be wrong

have a 9" in my bronco and broke it with 35's, granted it is a 28 spline but didnt want to risk it again, my next choise was a 60 but after looking around found that the 10.25 had better clearence than the 60 and was stronger overall. no down side really.of coarse everyone has their opinions on...

im doing a similar project right now (1999 ranger ohv is the build thread) and from the reaserch ive done i decided to go with the sterling 10.25. it has 1.5" 35 spline axles, full floater, use $50 ruff stuff disc brackets with 96 e350 rotors and chevy 3/4 calipers and you have disc brakes, not...

wow, im a 4x4 guy but that truck makes me want a prerunner. I have the same axle under my f-150 with 4:10 and 35's and i beat on it and tow alot. no problems after 250,000kms. nice work!

so i want to know who has moved their axle forward, what size tires they are on and if they would change their placement given a second chance. also if there was any unusual steering obsticals to overcome besides moving the box and lengthening the shaft. on my project im using a radius armed d60...

no pics yet, just got frame stripped and ground down. im building a new rear frame and shortening the wheelbase. diffs are full width. there will be pics on my build thread (1999 ranger ohv)

ok, after alot of searching i found a relativly inexpensive solution. ruff stuff offers a bracket kit for only 50 bucks. here's the ad...(Here you are, an easy bolt on bracket for the Sterling axles! This one also uses the GM Caliper ('73-87 3/4 Ton 4x4 Front with the MKD153 pads) because it is...

what has everyone used for exhaust manifolds on a 5.0 in a 98 or newer ranger? what kind of clearence issues did you have? any headers thatll work?

im swapping in a 1995 sterling 10.25 into a 1999 ranger and was wondering if any disk brake parts from newer 10.5 housings are compatible or what is needed to convert to discs besides shelling out 500 for a kit. also if i can just use a proportioning valve instead of swapping master cylinders...

I know this has been beat to death but i have a 1992 f-150 5.0l and am stuffing it in my 1999 ranger. My only concern is motor mounts. will the explorer 5.0L mounts work?? or do i need to fab new ones? or is there any aftermarket mounts for the newer trucks? thanks for the help

Big Ol' Ranger I just picked up a 1999 ranger xlt ext.cab. Its not my first OHV (currently running an early bronco) but wanted to go a lil more extreme with this build. My ever changing plan is to run 5.0L - C6 - BW1356 which im not entirely set on (concidering C4 with Dana 20). As for axles im...

Ive been reading on this site for about 4 months now and have scavenged alot of very useful info. I decided I wanted a truck for my next project and due to the trails being tight and me not wanting anything but a ford i chose a ranger. Picked up a 1999 x-cab for peanuts and well......stock sux...
