    Rear Sway Bar Question

    I remember having to call Energy Suspension to get the right bushing set. They said with Ranger there was multiple options, that's why the catalog said call. Any way thanks. now I know a 3/4-inch bar exists. And he only wants $30 for it

    Rear Sway Bar Question

    Sir, I appreciate your response. The suspension components on my 93 came off a 94 Ford Ranger with spring code KK. I looked up my old receipts from back then and the bushings I ordered are 4.5115 and 4.5116. The 4.5116 is for a 5/8-inch bar https://www.energysuspensionparts.com/4.5116...

    Rear Sway Bar Question

    Thank you for your response. My Ranger was not originally equipped with a rear sway bar. So I can tell you it made a difference. The sway bar and link end bushings are all Energy Suspension high durometer polyurethane bushings. But if I could tighten it up a little more........

    Rear Sway Bar Question

    I have a 5/8-inch rear sway bar on my 93 Ranger. The other day I saw a listing for a rear sway bar so I contacted the seller. He stated it was a 3/4-inch. I cannot find proof that Ranger had a 3/4-inch rear bar. Did Ranger ever use a 3/4-inch sway bar?

    DJM 4/5 and tire fitment advice

    I wanted to keep my truck as simple as possible. On the rear, I did a simple shackle flip. The drop was about 2-1/2 inches. I also added a rear sway bar. The 16-inch rims are from a 2005 FX4 Ranger. 225/60R16 match the original 225/70R14 very close. To lower the front, I use coils from a...

    Working On Ranger Again

    Its part of the family, I bought it in 1995. An alignment is next. Looks like camber decreased. I'm estimating a 1-inch drop is close to a 1-degree drop in camber. The high rate springs definitely changed the way it handles. These coils are definitely stiffer than the original. I still think...

    Working On Ranger Again

    Its been a while since I posted here. I quit driving my Ranger 7-8 years ago, driving less than 250 miles a year just to keep things working. I was cleaning out my garage last year and I stumbled on a pair of coil springs. I completely forgot about them; I pulled these springs from a Ranger...

    Retireing The Ranger SVO

    After 18 years of outstanding and exemplary service my 1993 Ranger SVO is being retired. Its amazing that after 210,000 miles the truck still runs just as good as the day I bought it in 1995. :beer: The Ranger will still be driven, but not more than a 100 - 200 miles a month. List of thing...

    Replaced 1993 Tail Lights with 2000

    I just replaced the tail lights on my 1993 Ranger with a set from a 2000 Ranger. It does look a lot better. I ran into one minor issue, the passenger side turn signal bulb wiring was a little on the short side. I could force the bulb in place (and I did) but I decided to extend the wire about...

    I got my fog light valence painted last week and installed today. I need to install the fog lights. What do the fog light brackets look like? I can make them, no problem, but I need to see a set. Now I really need to know what the factory fog light brackets look like. I can weld me up a...

    The Truth about Splash Ranger Coil Springs

    As far as I know there are no identfing marks on the Splash Springs and your right. My Ranger is not a Splash and it has Splash springs on it. That picture is from the truck my springs came from.

    The Truth about Splash Ranger Coil Springs

    They are the same. You're right, not all Splash Srings are the same, the ones we want can be identified by the code in the door. The code for the performance oriented (and lowering) Slash Spring is KK Sorry about the bad cell phone pic The KK spring for the 4-cyl and 6-cyl are the same...

    what is need to do for flipping the shackles?

    No, I did not change the shocks. I did change the sway bar bushings while the bed was off.

    what is need to do for flipping the shackles?

    The bolts are 7/16-inch by 1-inch long. I used a lock washer plus a self locking nut. The tech library says use a 3/8, but the 7/16 fits the holes much tighter.
