99 XLT Ranger - Baja Betty

Chopped off the LCA shock mounts and reset the suspension at new full compression on passenger side. With a bit of playing with the arrangement im sitting around 16.5” of clean travel, aproximafley 50-50 down/up travel. Previously around 12” of travel, so the result should be a massive improvement.

Now working on boxed shock mounts via cardboard aided design and replicating on drivers side. Then placing steering box in the chassis for the swing steer after I get an older model that has 1/2” bolts, instead of the 14mm version I currently have.

Baller travel numbers with the perfect shock set up. Well done

Decided to change things up a bit on the upper shock mounts and do a laser scan with the new Einstar 2 so I could CAD the mounts.

Pretty happy with the final result, I’ll have a bit of hand fitting to do but extremely happy with how it turned out. 1.25” DOM tube will go between shock towers to prevent bending. Going to cut later this week and then mock up before doing the drivers side.
