Its 4x4, and it's a 3" front coil spacer I was referring to. I must have made a mistake. The snorkel was cheap. It was free. Made it from scrap that was laying around. I did it to document the angles needed to make the final one. Its actually perfectly functional as it is. Had the truck in deep water this past weather episode. All connections are sealed with marine grade silicone. It performed without a problem. Now granted the diameter is smaller then needed, but its scrap and I haven't noticed a single issue. If anything I get a bit better mileage out of it. The final one feeds more air and looks kinda aggressive. It was actually designed somewhat. It's completely different from anything on the market. Which we all know is very limited for Rangers. I just like to make my own things if possible and learn as I go. I'll be sure to share that one as well. Thanks for the input. Honest knowledge is always appreciated.
First let me apologize for my comments about your Snorkel, it isnt my place to criticize anyone work or reasoning, just me trying to make a point.
Next, 3" Coil Sroing Spacers sounds sketchy at best.
410's idea sounds the best, but if the money is there, SkyJacker makes a nice kit for the '97 back Rangers.

Now if I could do it all over again I would skip all of this and go for a Autofab dana 44 ttb kit into a RBV. 18" of clean 4x4 wheel travel, +8 track width, huge brakes and huge wheel bearings all keeping stock like steering using mostly stock parts from a F150

Now that's SWEET.
When I did my '88, I thought about taking F150 TTB 4x and modifying them to fit the Ranger, I was just going to add the Ranger Mounting to the F-150 TTB.
If I had done it back then where might I be now !  LoL !

Kind of wish my suspension was a '97 TTB.
