LS Swapped Ranger Gets Lowered! 

Cool truck there a blast

Great video. Straight to the point with meanful tips. Debating on doing the 2in springs vs the 3in I-Beam cause spring is way easier.

I went with a 8.8 from a 96 explorer in my 97 ranger. Used the explorer leafs. Junkyarded a 2nd driver side shock mount to be installed on the passenger side. Grabbed 2 caliper flex lines from a sport Trac. Cut and double flared the brake lines and bolted down the flexes to the axle. And lastly installed 2" lift shackles.

When I put my drop beams on it (same as yours) was a nightmare (getting the stock stuff out). Everything fought me on the way out. I had to get all new bolts because they all were ruined trying to get them out or torched/cut. I wanted new anyway as it was all goin to be fresh under there going back together. I took and completely sanded down my radius arms to and repainted them. They are installed along with the new shocks. I repainted my front springs and reused those as they looked good yet. Still waiting on my spindles to come back. Buddy of mine has the brackets done so I can run the bigger rotors but I just am waiting on him to paint them for me and to finish my 8.8 to. There are better camber caster nuts for adjusting it up front. I paid a ton for them but mine isn't to that point yet so we will see if they help.

I beams are great if you are driving your 4by4 down a bush road , they're so durable that's where the Built Ford Tough slogan came from . But I agree with you when it comes to Street trucks , the only thing they should use is dual wishbone suspension . But if it bothers you to much you could always upgrade to a 98 through 2012 Ranger .

I did a 94 ranger it was fun and a real pain but I loved that truck

I liked the Belltech drop beams I used. No fitment issues

I just got these dream beams in. waiting for ball joints and all those goodies. honestly after watching you struggle with that bolt i might just order some new ones and save the hassle. any other issues that i need to look out for when mounting these up?

Do you just reuse the stock coil springs? You don't need shorter ones? Trying to figure this out for a 94 ranger

For all the folks bitchin bout the front suspension (I hear ya) a while back power nation built a ranger and swapped an entire crown vic frontend in and moved it forward I believe. Don't remember if it was for the terminator motor or the cross member. but something to consider I suppose

Wow thank you my brother. I have a 95 ranger 4 cylinder but thinking to go for a bigger block... 8cylinder .ok question can I do that?

You know, it just dawned on me that at 3;02 that must have been it... is it? after the change i mean.

Dope! I accidentally ended up doing this crap with a little $1000 Ranger I scooped over the summer. Decided to do a coilover conversion while I was in there (and a v8 swap...). What tire size is that? (Sorry if I missed it, thanks!)

Did you have any issue lining up the bolt hole with the bolt that was off center because of tension during the tear down while installing the new beams?

Put a spoiler and front lip on that thing. 😎

Cuanto cuestan y donde puedo comprarlas.

Las piezas que pusistes para q se baje de adelante.

What size rims and tires did you go with in front and back?

Did you have to run a spacer in the back?

Cool truck man what did it all cost you from start to finish

an I ask how much of a drop it is in the back? And how much of a drop it is in the front? Thinking of doing the same thing to my ranger, nice video

I hate the twin I-beams too. Pretty sure anyone who modifies a 2WD Ranger or F series does as well.

Okay dude, where is a vid of the finished product! =)

Doing a 93 how long did the dream beams take to install

Fords front end design sucks ass! I'm doing g a 4/5.. might only do a 3/4 drop on a 2000, which is a little better than the beam trucks, but caster/camber still is an issue from what Ive read
