early model ranger, like gen 1

 

oh ok, wow this staying up for me thing isnt really workin out as you can tell...lol but ok well i was thinking of jus making my own brackets if need be, havent decicded between lifting the bumper or getting one built, like this

i love the look of this bumper!!!

 

No problems with mine, I would do it again. Only complaint is the extra length in the shifter throw, and a little extra sloppiness that came with it.

 

I have installed 4 I think. First one was a work out cuz Zach didn't think we needed power tools


Give me the airgun and lets rock n roll. I could do it 10 more times. Jsut make sure your truck is clean underneath

 

just to clarify thats not me thats Beard i only ever want power tools lol....

 

I like mine, no issues.

I would do it again to the next truck as long as it dosent show too much frame.

 

hand tools are still fine with me, damn p\/ssies...

 

when the power of air tools is there USE THEM!!!!!

 

didn't use not power or air tools on installing my trucks body lift....and my truck is 10 years old! (YIKES! i just realized that my truck is 10 years old! and with only 89k miles!)

i didn't even use heat....good ole PB Blaster, and a nice breaker bar............

 

air tools is more fun lol, and mine is going on 14 years old and only has 94,000 miles on it so BOYA....

 

 

meh, ill use air tools from time to time, but its just as easy to do it with hand tools.

i got both of you losers beat, 76549 miles in less than 4 years!

 

I sure would and mine survived a roll over so they are very very strong.

 

Geezzz i have a 04 with 50k:/ BUt I do not own any power tools so I never use them so it is such a lexury to use them.


When we installed zabeard life we never used heat or anything just arm power. You can install a BL in about 1/2 the time when using power tools

 

hey it worked didnt it?

 

It was alright

 

haha i HATE body lifts! especially on 04+ f150s haha.
but anything over 1" body lift i dont like just b/c you can see the whole frame and what not and you still didnt gain any ground clearance(not counting the raised clearance from bigger tires)

 

you can see less frame on mine than a stock chevy....

 

 

No probs here id recommend it

 

Nice mario, what exhaust do you have?

 

rangers look pretty good with BL's as far as how much frame shows underneath. My last truck was a nissan frontier and I put a 3 inch BL on it and it looked ugly as hell. You could see about a foot of frame hanging from underneath. I also had very bad squeaking noises coming from my truck over bumps, but I still think it was the bushings in my uca's over the body lift. I probably wont do it again because I will eventually go the prerunner route and LT the truck.

 

Anyone got pictures of a rangerwith a BL and Stock wheels or something closeto 265/75/16's? ???

 

mine is the level 2 with 33s

zachs way back when with 32s I belive
