Starting with a new stretched EB frame is waaay better then what I was thinking some rusted out old EB frame with needs
I have a 05 ranger frame out back I would sell it for a few hundred
I kept it around because I always like to build stuff and was thinking of boxing it fully the go from there
The duff solid axle radius arm suspension is pretty nice, I would have to consider a 4-5 link setup if we are starting from scratch
only reason to stick with the Ford radius arm suspension is because starting with a Ford coil bucket frame and steering gear box
The Jeep 4 link setup....is the way to go for a nice ride and articulation
Ever seen how much flex a 4 link ranger or explorer has? Clean wheel travel.......
