You know I think the Rangers lines are great, but to me, anyways, the bed has always looked like an afterthought, big-assed square-box.

Scrapped the flat-bed idea. Looked nice but with me having kids in the back a lot, just not safe.

Do have a harness-bar and belts on the way tho!!!!!

Changed the 9's I had on the rear to 11's and re-installed the stock crushers on the rear. Blacked-out the perimeter of my well-used EMP windshield.

New springs. #190 front,#265 rear. Outboard mounts for now. The suspension is much more plush without the EMP lift. It stood the shocks almost straight-up, which made it very stiff....I got just plain weary of the rough-ride. Only lost 1-inch of ride height. 15 now. Big deal!!

Sporto- look at the link and check out the You-Tube video at the bottom of the page. It shows an old-school (to me) trick using ratchet-straps. I don't use 4, just two, 2-inchers. Very easy.

Nice Jim. Man that is really cutting back on the spring rates. Bet it is a way different machine now.

With height comes the need for width. I had out-heighted myself with the new tires. The springs are a great compromise. Yes, I lost some clearance, but the shock geometry now is way more comfortable.

I would love the Racertech +3 kit. But that will require a new trailer..........Not in the cards right now.
