Description
The 86-97 Ranger & 91-94 Explorer Long-Travel Suspension Kit Stage 4 is a high performance long-travel Front and Rear Suspension Kit for Rangers, Explorers, and Bronco IIs. This kit converts the TTB suspension to use a 12″ Coil-over performance shock. The Rear uses Deaver leaf springs paired with a King Shock 2.5 x 12″ smooth body or 3-tube bypass. This Kit is built for chase and prerunning down in Baja!
The 15 inches of front suspension travel soaks up the whoops, and delivers an amazing ride even through the roughest terrain. This Suspension kit is built for heavy off-road use, no matter if it’s on hard or soft packed dirt.
Front
The Cut N’ Turned Dana 44 TTBs with uniball pivots, uniballs, stainless steel misalignment spacers and a welded differential skid plate for superior durability are paired with 12″ 2.5 King Remote Reservoir Coil-over shocks. The W-I-Y shock hoops comes with pre-drilled alignment holes, allowing for easy and precise positioning before welding. This suspension system uses a 12″ coil over shock to keep your factory brake booster.
The Cut N’ Turned beams allow for proper camber. We weld the remaining TTB welds that the factory does not complete. Our 1 1/4″ Extended Radius Arms will bring back the correct caster and allows the wheel to travel on a greater arc.
We also offer additional beam plating. Which includes plating the front, back, top, and bottom of both beams. We weld a truss and skid plate to the driver’s beam for additional strength. We replace the stock bushings with 4130 chromoly uniball cups, FK uniballs, and stainless steel misalignment spacers for superior durability. Also a we can modify the Dana 35 TTB to run a Dana 44 spindle, snouts, and hub conversion.
Some Explorers require radius arm pivot boxes to be welded to frame due to boxed frame design.
Rear
The Deaver G50 or (G50E, F31) progressive leaf springs are paired with our Explorer extended Shackles, allowing 16 inches of wheel travel. Controlling all of that travel is from two 12″ 2.5 King Remote Reservoir shocks (Explorer Only). This kit comes with two different shock configurations. Either a smooth body or 3-tube bypass shock. The bypass shock allows for a better suspension tuning. The rear shocks are mounted to a W-I-Y Under-the-Bed shock mount.
The Rangers and Bronco IIs will require a custom bed cage. We recommend using a 2.5 x 16″ King shock to use with our leaf springs. If you would like to purchase shocks please give us a call.
–The Ranger and Bronco IIs do not come with rear Shocks–
-The Rangers will require a “Shackle Hanger Flip”-
