as to the lower of my truck it is 2 1/2" in the front a 4 in the rear. I did this by cutting the spring in the front. In the rear i converted it to a leaf spring rear end so all i did was take leafs out and there was 4 inches.

Thanks for the reply. One more question, if you dont mind, what size wheels and tires do you have on it? They look like they do a good job of filling the wheel wells.

Thanks

the wheels are 15's i dont know the width. The tires are 235/75r/15, im changing the back to 235/60r/15 dot drag tires i need more traction bad.

[c10-377]

" you need to put some shoes under that thing, your rolling around on pizza cutters"
Sorry, i couldnt resist.

[c10-377]

yeah so true, i can be driving along at about 60 and stomp on it and still spin the tires. I hate it but soon enough i will tub it out and put monster drag slicks under it.

Get in touch with Hagerty. A couple of hundred bucks a year will get you full coverage with agreed upon value.

I used them on my beater short bed. We insured it for 8500 dollars replacement value and it cost me 170 per year for full coverage.

definitely a nice looking truck. My dad has a 3.0 Ranger with a 5 spd, and it's not too bad for a Ferd! It gets i the low 20's around town. I'd definitely pefer 500hp though!

I'm never goin to sell my truck it is my first love, ive had this since 1990. So ive had this truck since i was 4 or 5 now im 19 so. Cause my parents just had it in the yard and said it was mine to dive when i got older so i fixed it up and have been mowing yards since i was 11 to pay for everything. Everything on the truck is paid for by me. Im proud of that, not like those other kids who drive nice new trucks or cars that their parents bought them.

Ah, the Ranger beats my buddy's 3 cylinder, Geo Metro. I swear that car feels like its powered by a single Squirrel. They put one of those little guys on a wheel and let him chase a nut on a string, that he can't catch. When ya kick the passing gear in, the computer sends (or vac) a signal to drop another nut to make the little guy run faster. One of my brother's friends had one too. Poor guy lost compression in one cylinder and ended up driving it around on two cylinders. 0-60 in about 5 or 6 miles.

Man, I don't know what then, there's a Geo Metro in Culver with a rod knock that can keep up with the Delta, and that's a 17 second ride. if it was healthy, it'd be in the 16's I'd bet. Then again, it's a manual, and he beats that like a $2 whore, I'd bet it sees 8,000 RPM in every gear. You ever see a metro do a burnout? Talk about funny! Rev it to 6,000 RPM and dump the clutch. You hear a clutch smack, then the weeny little motor starts roasting the tires. hahahahaha, with the parking brake on, he can sit there at 6500 RPM all day and smoke the balonies.


Then again, he's a crazy mofo, so whatever. At one point, he claimed to have the fastest daily driver in town (it's a small town, nobody cared). That was before the rod knock. Then I blew him away with the delta, and he shut up.

This is the same guy that bored a V6 chevy in an 80's monte carlo .060 over, threw on EFI and drag raced it NA. Crazy bastard thought that 14's with that was fast. *sigh*

my ranger has been to hell and back. I have jumped it, ran into stuff, gone mudding, and is the donut machine i dont know how it is still running
