After I discussed this at work, my theory is the control arm is at the ideal neutral position from the factory and since it is shorter than the lower control arm, once the torsion bar is cranked (or a leveling torsion key installed) it now rests already in the downstroke. The idea being that on...

Hey all, I joined in 1999 with my jacked up Explorer, haven't been on in a while. Daughter now has a 2004 Ranger 4x4 that needs an alignment. These questions have probably been asked a few different ways, and I'm finding helpful info, but... My experience has been a lifted vehicle will have...

big lift? Hey JD. I have a set of Superlift 5.5" brackets and national spring 6.5" coils and a drop pitman arm that I installed years ago - (SOA in the rear) but have never used. Unfortunately I blew the motor and while waiting to get cash to rebuild i did the suspension, but the project went...

Hey guys, Haven't been on in a while - quick question, if I have a 91 X and I blew the engine. I was able to get a 97 engine for a deal. The 97 crank has a different bolt pattern than the 91 did, so to put it together, will I need a 97 pressure plate with a 91 clutch? Or will the whole 97...

spline count and diameter The reason i was asking is because although i am sure the 97 flywheel will bolt up i wasn't sure if the thickness, and the spline count and shaft diameter were also going to work

anyone? C'mon guys someones gotta know the answer to this question. Until I know I can't go any further with my engine replacement.

SOAeasy When I did mine all I bought was a set of spring perches from moroso. I think they were in the Summit racing catalog. It was like $17.00 plus shipping. All you need now is a welding machine or a welder with sense enough not to burn through your axle tube.

Hey guys been a while since I've been on, been working and busy buying a house ( watches money fly away ). Anyway finally ready to replace my 91 4.0 with the 97 4.0 I have and pulled the clutch off the 91 engine only to find that the crank has 6 bolts where the crank on the 97 engine (which had...

Hey guys, I have a set of Rancho RS9012's about 13" of travel with the 5 position adjustments and I'm working on a custom suspension, the compression on these shocks is much softer than the rebound. I haven't done any serious work on any 4x4's for a couple years now, anyway, do I want the...

Thanx THanx guys, 'preciate the info i'll get the puller from autozen when i get the bracket back, i already have a new pump and pulley, the new pump has the crack in it and the old pump doesn't so i am swapping the pulley onto the new pump, but since i am takin things apart i am sending the...

Hey guys, gettin the new engine ready for install and i have a cracked pulley on my power steering pump. How does one remove the pulley from the P/S pump, i guess the install is gonna be the reverse, i just don't see bolt holes or the usual items one normally uses to pull a pulley off with...

BUMP

Seperate puchase Yes it is possible, i bought my 5.5 " front brackets and drop pitman arm from superlift and then i gusseted and rewelded the brackets, i bought my springs from national for my truck .. 6.5" lift, and i did my own SOA in the rear and added my own 8" shackles. So yes it is...
