Anyone ever used this set up??

[deano1938]

I have access to an 88 ranger 2wd, it has a twin I beam suspension. I was woundering if anyone has ever used this set up. I will be in stalling it onto my 38 chrysler.


Wadda ya think

may not be what you want to hear...but i'll give my 2 cents....
i would not use it...being a ford guy from since i could drive i've seen way too many fords with camber issues, and lowering them is harder b/c of the seperate beams...they really don't look that good to me from a asthetic standpoint..sometimes cheap parts (or even free) wind up costing more than their worth...


with all that negativity towards the subject, i'll go ahead and tell you now that i wasn't trying to be mean. ugly or anything like that- just answering your question w/ MY OPINION..build it your way-i'll still watch the build thread!!

52 F1 ford

This is a 52 ford F1 sitting on a 1984 Ranger frame with a 1950 flathead 6 motor and trans. The motor mount is real close to the stearing gear box, the front cab mounts are close to the frame cab mounts.

This is what i have been able to do in a few months.
