I'm not sure which is worse... Same spot for both the EX and the Ranger.
EX is bone stock, except for 31s.
The Ranger has Skyjacker 6" coils and they are STIFF! I don't know how much disconnecting the swaybar would have done. Ranger is also on 31s in these pics.
But the Ranger is going SAS and long arms and 33s... So it ought to flex better than this...
Yes, I was stuck. Incline was worse than it looked and I couldn't get the drivers rear wheel out of the gulley. And only the front swaybar was disconnected.
I cut out four 1/4 inch plates, 2 of them slightly shorter. Drilled the holes and mounted them to the framerails. Notched the ends with a grinder to fit the main tube and just built up from there. Tacked pieces together, then removed to fully weld.
Completely stock stuffing 33x12.5/15 on stock 15x7 ranger wheels.
Front Sway-Bar removed, Rear still hooked up. It's actually hitting bump stop and not the wheel well...
It refuses to resize the last image for somereason, my apologies.
Scratch that... it finally did.
