If not what are you guys using? Building a 5.0 truck and i want to improve the suspension as good as i can without blowing my budget. This kit looks good but seems a little cheep price wise.

does that upper link bracket bolt on using the bolts for the diff cover?! i wouldnt trust that as far as i could throw it. the upper link will see the most load. and to trust that in bolts that are threaded into a cast housing is scary

I've seen other companies do the same thing for mustangs, i know it might look sketchy but it does hold up. I've never heard of the company before though and the price to me come across on the low side. Not complaining, if i can save some money that's awesome but i don't want to buy junk.

I've seen Chris Alstons' name in hot rod mags for decades. I have no personal knowledge of him or his product tho.

Funny; I thought Chris' product was expensive.

Too bad RPS isn't still around, they did more mini trucks and could give you better feedback. It was popular a decade ago when your Ranger was built.

Be prepared if you order a kit from them that it may actually take 6-8 months before you receive it, they are built to order. They don't really make ranger parts, they bought the KP Components design rights to thier links kits when KP dissolved, and the ranger was in the portfolio, so they 'offer' it, but they never really make or sell any.

They will charge your card in full immediately, then never send any updates, and will take days between replies if you contact them, and the replies will be blatant lies. It may be an old hod rod name but the company practices these days are terrible, and it is surprising they are still in business.
