Some updates to the ranger Empty Some updates to the ranger

Been gone off and on for almost a year, so little to no racing has been done. When I was able to get it out, I have been plagued by gremlins finding the weak part. Hopfully that has all been sorted out and i can get it out this weekend for some test hits before taking it to a race next weekend. Anyway, updates that a buddy of mine kindly did the labor for while I was out of town are a new set of down turned headers so I can finally see where I'm going, drive flanges, replacement of coil springs that were sagging, a set of cut 44's out back, moving my cut 39's on wide 5 plates up to the front, and a new set of 1.25" chromoly ladder bars to replace the 1" bars I bent. I built the new bars on one of the visits back home. Don't sound too bad, even though it has some header leaks that have since been resolved. These were sent to me as work was going on:

Thanks. Now you can finally see the finished product on the ladder bars and housing floaters.

Looks good! You went a little lower with your front mounts then I did, I might lower mine later on after I see how hard it hits the tires. Headers turned out good too!
