1999 1500, 5.9L, Auto.
3" Rough Country Lift with 2" spacers up front
315/75R16 Mickey Thompson FCII
16x8 Mickey Thompson Classic II's w/4 7/16 backspacing

I have since taken off the 2" spacer because of the angle on the drag link, until I get a drop pitman arm. Overall I am pleased with the Rough Country lift, but I really don't like the trac-bar relocation bracket, because once it is installed you can't change it without rebuilding the stock axle bracket for the trac-bar. I want to get the Thuren trac-bar but I will have to rebuild the bracket first. I haven't had any rubbing with the tires on just the 3", what do you think?

This one is my toy, 89 Ranger, SAS, 2.9L V6, 5 speed, 32" BFG AT, 4.10.
Dana 30 front, Ford 7.5 rear, 10" bed bob, homemade bumper. This is my guinea pig, if I want to practice welding or fabbing something, I do it on here for testing, so far everything has been very good, nothing hardcore yet though.

very cool..the dodge is WAY clean! i like the stance...not too tall. i don't usually like rangers at all, but something about the sas, gives it a different look than the TTB...very cool.

have any wheeling pics? i'd like to see both flexed out a bit....:)

Did you make that little add on to the dodge or buy it somhwere?
Also is it strong or just for show

I made that bar, it is just a light bar so it is not real strong, I can hang and bounce on it and I weigh a whopping 160# and it doesn't budge, but it's not for pulling down trees or anything, just for lights/looks.
