body lift

Ok, Finally did it. I ordered a Performance accessories body lift, Part number 883, for a 98-00 Ranger. The front bumper brackets were useful, we only had to expand the slots slightly to have it line up properly. The other modification needed was to the front mounts themselves, they are...
