yeah,i will be getting this DJM kit VERY soon, i am and will continue to be the highest bidder, so i just need to get shocks, and install Any suggestions on shocks?? It is a full kit, springs for front(3in) and shackles(5in.)rear. Should look good, high quality kit. It is from a private seller, and not some company, with proof it's real. So i am happy.

Now rims. I have been kicking around the idea of using mustang rims...Thoughts? I was thinking bullit rims

i didn't think rangers had torsion bars. But your best bet is to get a lowering kit like the 1 ur bidding on. And i agree about the mustang wheels on a ranger look pretty good.

thanks, yeah i won the bid. Kit comes with everything. I also bought some st drop shocks, so eveything is done right. I have been looking into finding a clean set of cobra r's too, so we will see. Yeah, no torsion bars, but no matter, this kit should be good for now

rangers have I-beam frontend NOT ..torsion bars. rangers are about the hardest to lower because of that and cost the most to do so. you need to buy a lowered I-beam set up call 'PRO TRUCKS" and for the rear you can use any type of lowering block 3inch at the most and i would run the main leaf spring along with the biggest helper spring in the rear to get the lowest. maybe get a rear airshock from Sears. since your stock shock are gonna ride bad

thank you for someone finally chimming in with the correct info. but the rear requires a 'flip-kit' to put the axle on the inside of the leafs.
