Yes, I will be glad to do so for you. I had to weld on a small bracket to attach the shock mount and the stablizer brackets mount to the right wheel area steering assembly. I will get a close up for you.

I thought I posted th photos here but did not.....darn!!!!

Ok, Bro,

Here is the mounting tab I welded on. I did the suspension lift and the stabilizer shock the same week back in 2001. This is the new shock I added last year. I wanted to update it to a Ford blue rubber housing and a Ford decal and a much cleaner shock…lol



Here is the way I mount the shock to the steering area (hydraulic steering setup)



Another shot so you can see how the setup looks

..Could we please keep this as a picture thread as described in the first post...

...This thread was started to showcase the Ranger trucks seldom seen on this Forum with the hopes of starting new Ranger Registries to discuss each of these individual vehicles and in hopes of having a larger knowledge base of Ranger information sharing on this Forum...

...Just my thoughts but I'm open for pm's..

..Thanks..

Its is my work truck. It is a an 04 Level II. It is bone stock, but the Level II package is pretty substainial. It'll run 90-mph on the interstate and then crawl in rocks or play in the sand. It gets used offroad (work) a lot more than my 91 X. But it is very comfortable and reasonably capable.
