Rear Coil Spring Swap

[RockRanger]

so guess i have to check this thread more often.. anyways going to swap fuel tanks screw it BII it is. my upper rear mounts may come off the front of a geo tracker.. geo tracker weight = same rear explorer. and its the right size.. and will fit the frame great.. dont ask.

I would use a differnt tank if you can. The BII tank hangs way down and likes to get smaked a bunch. I hit my BII tank more then I do my sliders, diffs, or tcase skidplate. If I redo my tank I will be going to a shorter one. My tank also is about 1/4" from the floor of my bed. I cut as much support out as I could to get it higher.

oh fun.. ok then i guess i look for a different tank, how is the width on it.

 

[RockRanger]

Ranger frames are narrower then the explorer so the width wouldnt be the problem. It is the height. It is about 13" tall. Get a tape and look how far down 13" from the lowest point that it might hit. I cut an entire support out of my bed just so I could shove it up an extra inch. When I do a flat bed I will pull it up higher. A jeep tank might work better. But it has a smaller capacity.

When ever I get around to it I 'll do my tank swap...

Using a 90's F-seies Aux. tank 19 gal.

Just need to dig up a first gen fuel pump and stuff, I think it will work in it with slight mods

Thats truss is HUGE!

That config is possible given you move the gas tank somewhere.

What about a 4 link outside the frame with a pan hard. That way ou don't have to move the tank?
