how are you planning to mount the coilover? What kind of frame mods are you thinking about to make room if needed?

If you're talking about the front you can look back some pages and see that there is a shock tower with engine brace and cut the coilbuckets off and plated the frame. Also cut parts of the frame for my arms to clear. All in the pics

well here is an update for everyone following my build thread still. I just picked up a deaver leaf pack off of one of my buddies who has a ranger. Plan is to go to the offroad swapmeet at the end of feb. find some 16" triple bypasses for a good price and have these springs installed. Since rangers are sprung leaf over the axle where dodge is leaf unde rmy truck will also be leaf over. Custom shackles will be made and all that fancy stuff by Miller Raceworks.
