Ha! Not a whole lot. Just curious on the daily driving side of things. A couple guys said the usual rust but everything seems to stay put for the most part. Wanted to hear from the Ranger community on here.

I just installed the 5". If anyone wondering, yes. Definitely install if you can. Entire thing feels completely different. I'm surprised by the shocks honestly. They take care of the rough torsion bar feel really well. Installed 2" spacers so that the original rims could clear. I wanted it to be as clean and original as possible.

Decided to stop in here again. See somore people with this kit installed on here. Your trucks are looking sharp. Thinking soon I'll get the ranger back on the road again hopefully this summer. Friend of mine sent me this from shortly after I got the lift in and giving me some motivation lol. Little video of a trail we did

Anybody install the recommended front drive shaft or are you guys just running the stock one? How’s it handling? -Thanks!

The shop that installed my lift went to order RCs drift shaft made for the lift, and they said it could take up to a year to get it. So I went and got a custom one made for $600 and it drives smooth. I think you need a new front driveshaft regardless but I could be wrong.

Your original front driveshaft won't last long if you run it with any lift kit. It's a matter of when, not if.
