First off, I don't know jack about the lowered aftermarket, but do know a lot about all suspensions.

I'll soon be getting a 97 reg cab s/b 2.3 5spd 2wd to have as a DD.
And having such a big Ranger already I'm wanting to drop this one, to change things up a bit and, to aggravate the "redneck" family members.:icon_rofl:

Anyways, from what I've seen,
3" JDM beams
rear axle flip kit
and rear shocks

Is that really all I need? I was told my SAS would be simple like that and it seems every time I turn around, I'm buying more parts.

Thanks ahead of time:icon_thumby:

Yes its as simple as that. I ordered all of my stuff from Summit. The hardest part for me was getting the ball joints out of the old beams into the new beams.

I ordered my kit from Stylin Trucks. It came with the beams, flip kit, and all 4 shocks.

agreed.
plus with the right explorer rear end you get disk brakes, limited slip, and possibly even traction bars.

i did 3" drop springs and the flip kit cost me $178 bucks then you gotta buy adjustable camber bushings to correct the camber ($20 a pce) I just cut my stock bump stops and kept the stock shocks for now.
