Yeap have much respect for the people with Fords laid out!!! And LOL Matt thats why I have Dimes they are easy

Brian, in the one pic it doesnt look like the radius arms are hitting, and that should be the lowest point up front now....have you looked to make sure your bags arent already compressed where its sitting at now? you might have to redo your front bag mounts...hope thats not the case tho

paco thats what i was thinking too

ya

yeah the bags are fully compressed...

yeah so if you move your brackets you will get lower in the front

yeah thats in the future. i just wanna get everything done for the 20s.

and yeah, do anything to Ranger is a pain...especially putting 20s under em. lol

i wint from 18s to 20s in a day lol

Thats what I love about my Ranger, control arms are less work to lay out....but then again you have to do a Z to lay flat...

lol uhh im going from stock 15s to 20s in 2 months....lol.

lol ya not bad keep up the work bro

small update:

i got most of the interior back together (gonna keep the stock dash for now). i also got my patch panel where my heater core was, made and installed as well as got some of the wiring harness re-routed on the inner fenders. it wont look too bad under the hood. i also managed to break a corner light on it after forgetting it was on when i was taking the fender off from mocking everything up. oops. guess i gotta order new ones now. the goal for this weekend is to get the air management stuff mounted and HOPEFULLY get it running.

Good work Brian.... Keep it up!

update:

well i have been straight busting my ass today trying to get as much done as i can. i had my buddy Phil come over and help me. anyways, here is what we did.

while waiting for Phil to arrive, i decided to polish the wheels up real nice. i realized while doing it why i love AND hate polishing wheels...lol. heres a pic. the wheel on the left is before i polished them and the one on the right is after being polished:


not bad for $300 wheels huh? then i decided to paint the frame flat black. this picture is while in the middle of painting it. it looks better than it does in the pic:


Phil finally showed up and he got work on wiring up the valves and i got the motor work done. i made a loop for the heater lines and cleaned up the wiring AND was able to use my stock intake system which saved me money. heres a pic:


you can also see my patch panel i made for where the blower box was. not the prettiest but it works!

Phil finished up all the wiring for the valves and mounted the tank. we mounted the valves under the bed but inside and tucked away yet easily accessible. while he got that done i started putting the fenders and headlights on. got that on then we put the bed on decided to call it a day after about 7hrs. or so. we were both beat. heres a pic of how it looks right now:


NOT really that much more to do, just a bunch of little stuff to do but it shouldnt take that much longer.

shes coming together

Lookin good Brian!

Looking good Brian. Keep on keepn on. lol.

lookin good brian

thanks. i got the truck running but im now having wiring issues with the air ride. i hope its something easy and i dont have to rewire it...again. i have some valves that work and some that dont so im thinking it may be a ground problem. i will find out in the next day. thats all thats holding me up!

i got allthe air ride wiring issues fixed! i have a few small leaks but meh,its fixed and it looks as if its gonna make it to Camp N Drag.

ptc's???

i will take some today after i clean her up. shes nasty as hell from sitting in the garage for so long.

heres some pics of her with her new shoes on:

looking good with the new shoes
