Description
86-97 Ranger & 91-94 Explorer Mid-Travel Suspension Kit / Stage 2 is a high performance mid-travel suspension kit. A prefect upgrade for the Front and the Rear suspension for your Ranger, Explorer or Bronco II.
The front suspension is similar to the Stage 1 Kit, providing 12 inches of usable wheel travel in 4×4, But includes rear suspension. The rear suspension comes with Deaver G50 (G50E or F31 depending on vehicle) Leaf Spring Pack.
This Stage 2 kit increases the rear suspension travel to 14 inches. Which will convert any Ranger, Explorer, Bronco II into a whoop-eating pre-runner and a perfect all around off-road vehicle.
Front
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. This dramatically effects performance on and off road.
We also supply you with a pair of front Bilstein 5100 shocks and a set of front stainless brake lines. Fiberglass front fenders are not required when running this kit. 35″ tires are possible when running fiberglass fenders and either fiberglass or “pulled” bedsides.
A set of heavy-duty extended stainless brake lines for the front and the rear are included as well.
Rear
The Deaver G50 leaf springs are paired with our Explorer shackles to produce 14 inches of travel!
The rear Bilstein 5100 shocks (Ranger or Bronco ii) or Bilstein 4600 shocks (Explorer) shocks can remain in the stock location for the Ranger, Explorer, Bronco ii. The Rangers will require a “Shackle Hanger Flip”.
A set of heavy-duty extended stainless brake lines for the front and the rear are included as well.
Some Explorers require radius arm pivot boxes to be welded to frame due to boxed frame design.
