- Installing a lift kit in a truck isn’t always easy, in fact it never is, it today I install Rough Country 2” leveling springs into my raven black 1985 Ford Ranger XLT 4X4. The coil spring install does not go as planned, but the coil springs did fit and did get installed by the end of the day. The process is the same for replacing stock springs or installing lift kit springs, the only difference is the height of the spring. This can usually be done using only hand tools from your average tool box or workbench at home, at least with most classic cars. Budget 4x4 and cheap 4x4 enthusiasts who like to live the built not bought way with all the rust and patina that it entails will agree that lift kits are almost as essential as universal joints when it comes to Ford ranger mods. so whether you are building a danger Ranger or other classic cars just remember that it takes time, patience and a lot of penetrating oil.
I don’t think 3/4 + 3/4 = 6\8ths? 😂
I’ve been looking all over for this info but can’t find it. On your front axle there is what looks to be a sideways shock mounted on the steering linkage (visible in the shot around 30secs in this video showing front of truck). What is this called and what does it do? My Bronco ii does not have it.
Isn’t there supposed to be a rubber coil spring isolator tat he on the bottom of the spring? It keeps the meal from spring from rubbing against the metal from he radius arm.
Love those square body Rangers
Should make a video on how to remove the seats been struggling to take mine off on my 90 ford ranger
Did you have to install new caster/cambers after this 2'' lift? I have an '87 Ranger and plan to do the same thing but I read alot of issues with the cambers and casters and them needing to be swapped.
Take ring off
Lmfao he said 3/4 and 3/4 is 6/8!😂😂😂😂
Just bought a 89 ranger xlt 4x4. Real excited to begin the journey to greatness and this video helps me with lift ideas and tire sizes. Thanks
I remember looking at this truck when you had it for sale. Came very close to buying it.
By far what i needed to know and pretty entertaining as well good stuff man
Now we know where all the great finds on old tools went to....lol. Awesome tap and die set sir! Great video 👍👍
looks great bro!
Dude, not only are you informative, you're also hilarious. Subbed.
Hi from french Polynesia, where i could find the lift kit for my Ford Ranger XLT 1996 2X4. thank you. Regards
This guy is as sarcastic as I am.... love it brother! I'm wanting an all coilover suspension but I got 4 " suspension lift and 2" body any suggestions
Love the commentary.
Great video man. Helped me alot with lifting my 86 Ranger. Did you get a wheel alignment and also did you have to replace your caster/camber bushings? Thanks
Like the vid, question can you keep the stock shocks when installing "2 leveling springs ?
Dislike how you cut the nut off. But still a great video and very helpful on the process of installing new coils.
