Need some advice from another Ranger owner, I have a 1999 Ranger the body is in great shape it has 165,000 mi I bought it for 1,000.00 about 3yrs ago I just replaced frount/rear shocks and both rear shock mounts. I noticed the rear end of the frame near leaf spring mount and behind bumper is in rough shape its cracked near the bumper and there are some rot holes around leaf spring mounts I seen where the sell frame repair kits where you cut off part of the rear end of frame bolt new frame pieces on and weld em. Has anyone done this? is it that hard the rest of frame seems fine just surface rust and scaling I have gone over it with a wire brush put rust reformer and painted it black. I like to keep this truck for a couple more yrs be honest its been good to me no major repairs except reg maintinence Should I fix the problem or just keep driving it until the ass end of frame rots off Thanks
