The lift thing is what I was thinking but wasn't completely sure.
Yes I wish Ford had stayed with the TTB but progress... I guess you call it that... the new Ranger is the best example of progress, LoL !
I was talking to a custom shop about the Tire Travel Kits, he said he would check them out, I was thinking +2 kit and keep my SuperLift Parts inplace, which as you said will require longer length Coil Overs.
I ditched the T-Bars about six or so years ago, never regretted it, when in New England but here in SoCal and the road I live off of is an un-kept County Road, driving it every day after day the little Ranger bounces around A LOT ! PITA everyday in and day out !
The Shop I looked into is called "Steel Nuts", and the one thing I liked about it was the Main Dude said, the ride is all in the Shocks and the Shock of choice is Fox !
I was told the manufacturer of Suspension Parts but don't remember, didn't really know the name to begin with.
My main problem with most of these long travel kit IS the +2, +4.5... each side, I don't want to run the bulging fenders, not for me, so if this +2 kit is a good one, it might be workable. Then there is the rear, I guess spacers come in here somewhere, or a Full Floater Kit which widens the axle by 3.5".
I should just be happy with what is there now, works goo enough and get me around.
Jamie, Have you ever heard of a D44 Front Differential Assembly for a Ranger ? Maybe from an F150 ?
