As the pictures upload to photobucket, i thought i would give you an update. my truck is toast. i hit some woops too fast, and busted the shock on my drivers side. no big i thought, but when i got out to go check the damage, i smelled gas. crap. when the shock broke, somehow the bolt on top sliced my fuel line. so, with some tire sealant, duct tape, and half a pack of cigarettes later, i was ready to go. i've got 34 pics uploading. rock crawling, my truck broken, and us climbing on the rocks. my friend has more on his camera, but he passed out already so when he gets them online, they'll be here.

greg's truck: Unsecure image, only https images allowed: http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj166/doyouquaxu/100_2260.jpg all our trucks: Unsecure image, only https images allowed: http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj166/doyouquaxu/100_2265.jpg the reason why i'm alone in the pics when my truck broke is cuz the other two went ahead, then on their way back after i got on the cb to them, greg popped his 2 rear tires, so they had to do some creative swapping of front's to rears using rocks as jack stands. safety glasses were in my truck thanks to highschool auto shop, and since my truck was leaking gas, i thought it couldn't hurt to wear them.. theyre stylish!

looks like fun! you should get a lift kit for your truck
Agreed, a 4" lift and some 33s look badass on rangers. A tube bumper would also be another good thing to add.
yeah i'm going to get one this summer, but with some 31's. it's going to be a uniball upper arm, a new spindle, new shocks, and some lift coils. it's a kit built by a reputable backyard fabber/1450 class racer, and is going to be cheaper but still have similar performance to the camburg 5.5 kit.
you'll also want to maybe consider a re-gear since you only have the 3 liter. A set of 3.73s would be a good choice, or 4.10s if you ever want to go up to 33s.
