need to step up our game this year and beat Miller

summit order placed for next round of upgrades. 



explorer springs, steering quickener, rear pannel mirror
plan to change front coil mount supports and shock locations. 
im thinking my FOX 2.5 12" CO's on the front of 572 are going to make it to the brolite, and run the new profender16's i have on the rear.  ill have my fox shocks on the bro to sell, or build another  12,14's 2.0 smoothies

Mike,

While i'm thinking about it, do you know anyone looking for a 8.8 out of a ranger (drum brakes unfortunately), he also has a set a 4.56 gears to go with it the have had the backside machined (lightened, top outer edge).

These were extras for a friends asphalt circle track mustang, he was looking for $200 for everything.

new front springs, quickener, wheel and some other bits showed up today


Fleet explorer springs look beef, hope the ride height is near desirable.

i found a post on the ranger forums that exporer coils give you about 1.5" lift and a stiff ride on a 2wd ranger.
they were 66$ from summit for Moog Cargo Control springs.


they are thick and stuff lol  hope they will slow my crash though problem on BIG jumps

Talked with a mini stock racer from west coast. They run bone stock front suspension.  It's all in the shocks he said.

the wilwood is the get the booster out of the way.  I already moved the clutch.  our rules suck that you have to use the factory lower shock mountlocation

took a step in the wrong direction, lost almost 4" of down wheel travel with the heavier springs.


thinking lift jeep springs are the way to go.

before swapping out springs, my shocks were my down travel limit in front.  I think the jeep lift springs need to go back in and my shocks need to be lowered 2-3" or more.....
