Decide what shocks you want then make measurements of fully compressed, ride height, and full droop for the shocks then call and see if they can match you up with something.

are you still running the stock driveshaft? Have you had any problems with vibration or binding? Have you wheeled it since the install and how many miles are on it since the install? (these last few are only if you are running the factory shaft)

Thanks

Dave,

I had a feeling you would be asking me this, especially after Jeff Sauser said he did nothing with his driveshafts.
My rear driveshaft is stock. Its never vibrated or binded forward or reverse, and contrary to popular belief, I do go wheeling with my truck. I just don't beat the living s**t out it like some people I know! Its my daily driver, need I say more. I'm not sure why, I think its your shorter wheelbase, being a Sport and all, is the reason your shaft is binding and mine does not. In fact, my pinion angle is no where near as extreme as yours.
I have put about 15,000 miles on since I lifted my truck.
What did you do about your front driveshaft? I had to have one custom made with a circular flange on one end to fit into the transfer-case and a double carden joint instead of the "CV" joint my stock shaft has.

Yeah this thread is about a year and a half old. Since then I've done quite a bit more things to it. Including dual exhaust using SuperTrapp mufflers, AWD to 4WD Control Trac swap, new wheels, 20g MP3 player, more lights, ect,ect.....

What did you do for a rear brake line? If you remove your rear sway bars, the line won't be long enough.

havnt had time to read all the posts yet. I am curious if the ranger lift can be used on a 96 limited x? or just 98 and up?
