Looks a lot better than before.

Wow, looks interesting.

 

[section525]

I think it makes it look pretty trick from the side. It seems like a good idea. Don't know how it would affect strength/ride.

 

[JDraper]

THAT looks really interesting!!! One of the biggest problems with the current lifts out there is the torsion bar drops along with the suspension, making it more vulnerable to damage....hmmmmmmmmm......

 

[Lifted95X]

this would be real nice if you could use this with the superlift so that the whole bar is not dropped by 4".

I saw those on a chevy in petersons a few months ago on a chevy pickup. they do look interesting.

 

[Jefe]

Now thats an interesting idea. It is going to affect the way the suspension feels, and add some added stress to it. but to be able to tuck those bars 4" up for offroading (with a 4" lift) would be great. It also would eliminate the problem with the 95-96's brackets being different since you're just using the stock brackets.

INGENIUS!!!


So... who can I pay to modify one for the X

 

[Hokie]

I emailed em back when I first saw this (over the summer) and inquired if they had one for a Ranger... still waiting for a response

Basically ~ I've learned that life is just easier to pretend to have a Ranger from time to time

And i don't have the addy, it was in a 4x4 mag of some sort (peterson's, 4wheeler, or off road) this summer. They did a write up on a chevy pick up that Doug mentioned and it gave contact info for the company.

Now wait!

...what am I gonna use to slide on then?

There is the site...
Please everyone send inquiries to t-bar relocaters for either the ranger or explorer

 

[section525]

I'm on it.

 

[Hokie]

If they make these for the Ranger's/Explorer's I would definately give the Superlift kit alot more thought

 

[Hokie]

88-03 Full Size G.M. & H.D.'s = $239.95- $269.95 + T&S
82-03 G.M.(S-10),(S-15),(ZR2) = $239.95- $259.95 + T&S
03 Hummer (H2) = $259.95 + T&S shorter t- bars required
97up Full Size Ford = $239.95-$259.95 + T&S

Why on earth do those things cost so friggin' much?!

 

[Premier]

They look fairly simple to build. I dont know why they cost soo much? Any fabricators here think they could modify some that are already made or build some for x's?

 

[section525]

I'm with the Hokie here. If they'll make some, or the F150 ones would work.. I might have to put some serious thought and cash into a Superlift maybe. My roomie has an F150.. I'm gonna go disect it and see what the difference is.
