    Suspension Lift

    first, are you running a 4x4 or 4x2? determine your end game, what type of use ect/ for example,my 4x2 is set up and built specifically for fast desert trails, sandy washes little roller type of roads ect. Take a peek of a couple quick pics I tossed up in my library. Do your homework, ask us a...

    Lowering (or height adjustable) for better highway handling

    To add my .02. New higher performance shocks will do a world of difference. My thought is this; Sure, lower the front like mentioned above by unloading the t-bars. If you can get a factory length Rancho RSX 9000, then you will have the huge flexability of adjusting your lowered ride for any type...

    time for to replace

    I took a chance on a junk yard motor for half the cost of a rebuilt unit. I paid 1300 out the door delivered. the donor was an 03 Explorer Sport with 60k on it. I was able to do a close visual inspection of the vehicle overall, which included hearing it run ect. It came with a 3month 3000mile...

    Brake Job

    Hey Eddie, we are one in the same. I do the same things with rotors, especially my slotted units. Have you tried the Hawk HPS pads? I ran the PF pads for years, (mainly due to them being a sponsor) to the company I worked with. Great product. Then we switched to the Hawks, again for the same...

    Shock question

    Ok gang, this is my last post for a bit. Sorry for throwing up in the forum here. I like learning and sharing what I have learned over my many years on this rock! And Dean, look on you tube for Ranger Pre Runners and you will flip. The ST's are the new up and comer to the desert scene, as the...

    Shock question

    @Gavin, good point. I never had the OEM units on our ST. We purchased it pretty much how you see it now. I have made huge changes in the overall operation in most areas, interior,exterior, and my specialty high speed chassis setups. Speaking of the Gen 1 poop from Ford. Try finding aftermarket...

    Shock question

    Hey fellas. Sorry if I came across negatively. The 5000's are a good shock for a heavy duty application for sure. Plus Rancho has a great warranty. Believe it or not and this is sort of an irony but. When we raced a Toyota truck in a Stock desert series way back in the early 90's, we had...

    Time to upgrade the brakes

    Thought i would chime in after the fact. The rotor and pad cracks in the photos are not much to be concerned with at this time. With that being said, on race cars w/o slotted rotors, its common to see cracking pad suorfaces, and slight rotor cracking from real "fun" use! Depending on the rotor...

    Shock question

    Oh, and lastly, if you pay anywhere close to 600 for all four, you will need to see a doctor! At most on a bad day, you can find just about any good performance shock for 90.00 and under. Speed and handling cost money! Just sayin!:grin:

    Shock question

    Hugh makes a valid point only of replacing all four. Yet these days everyone is on a tight budget. And like anything else, "You get what you pay for!" That being said, I ask ALL my customers, how will they be using the vehicle? If you drive like my dad, then sure go buy some cheapies. They will...

    Shock question

    My personal favorite for all around handling on and off road are Bilsteins hands down. If you are like me, I use my stuff hard out here in the desert southwest trails ect. With the exception of my current pre runner project, everything I own has Bilsteins on all four. The Bilstein shock company...
