Default Time for some work on the truck :(

I took my truck to the shop to get a 4-link installed for the bag setup. We take the bed off, and find out the frame is bent. The previous setup had destroyed everything in the back. My alxe is leaking, the brakes have a leak in the line, the frame is bent, the bag brackets are bent. So I am getting a whole new rear frame with a 4-link. I cant wait it should be a nice setup when it leaves the shop. Im also getting a trans crossmember that will let me lay the whole frame on the ground.

My advise on doing a ranger...dont do the ranger. The damn I beams make that thing a bitch to bag.

Hey Mike, PM me your number, I want to talk to you about the tailgate.

Biggest thing with those year Rangers is the space. That kit is weld on up front and make sure brackets are perfectly aligned. Bag sits a little at an angle on those so it looks a little deceiving at least on the kits I used before, maybe Jason and crew figured something else out. Its really just a bitch to get those things apart and back together. While you are taking the Radius arms out I suggest getting the Energy Suspension poly bushing kit. Cheap and will help with alignment and overall ride. I got a pic of one somewhere in my computer I will see if I can find it.
