    New here Q. about manual hub conversion

    Since were on the subject of TTB front wheel bearings I have a question.. When setting preload I set the inner spindle nut as descripbed above but when I torque the outer bearing to 150 ft lbs it seems to increase the preload of the wheel bearings making it much harder to spin the wheel. I...

    Super Lift 4 1/2" on 1st gen

    Hmmm... I bet anything that's what happened to mine, how did you know they were the wrong ones? If that's the case, since my front is done, they can swap my back springs to 5 1/2 since that is easy.

    STX Explorer?

    Well, after pretty much settling in on coil spacers and shackles, I talked to my buddy, he talked me into doin a 4" superlift, so bought one today, planing on doin it tommorrow. Any tips to make this go smoother?

    STX Explorer?

    after installing those coil spacers, did you need the aftermarket camber bushings?

    STX Explorer?

    STX Explorer?

    Yeah, thats what I figured, Body Lift would be a job. Cool, thats what I'll do then, shackels and spacers. The coil spacers your talking about, are like the ones that go in between the springs, then you crank the bolts to spread them? Did you guys notice a harsher ride after doing this?

    STX Explorer?

    I've got 31 M/T's on the Ranger and I've never had them rub, I read somewhere the STX package gave 2 inches over stock 4 by. Yeah... lift blocks won't do me much good, where's a good place to get the shackles from? This is just my tow rig for my rail, and camping where I do I need a little...

    STX Explorer?

    I kinda have a unique situation, I have a 94 Ranger STX thats been totaled, and a 92 Exploder thats just asking for some sort of lift to atleast get 31's on it, can I just swap coils in front add the lift blocks to the back and call it a day, or is there some catch I'm over looking??
