@motrhed289 I have done just about the same as you, I did 2" drop springs on the front and shackel flip on the rear. poly bushings all around, and good safe driving habits while racing to keep the dirty side down. but I have done a 1-1/8" front sway bar that made all the differance while autocrossing.
Great video, man that looks like fun! Only racing I've done with my Ranger (built 289, T-5 trans) is drag racing, but I've always wanted to take it on a track... never considered drifting it though. What have you done to the suspension? So far all I've done is a B2 rear sway bar (no front so far), flipped the rear shackles and cut a coil out of the front springs for about 2.5" drop overall. Nice video, and cool truck!
It's more challenging to drift a truck. Respect for actually competing with a truck. I used to drift with my 95 GMC Sierra before a lady hit me last week and totalled it. Usually only when it rained because I had mud tires and otherwise it ate them up lol
@AerodynamicFlow Thanks man, its kinda nice to be the one that people laugh at untell they see what you can do! I have alot of fun makin people look twice at what I am doing.
thats so awesome... i cant believe it didnt flip... it looked like it wanted to a little bit lol... and did i hear him say the motors stock?....... no way.... really? was the turbo before, or after the vid was taken?
@purpelmunkie The motor is still stock and this video was all pre turbo intall. The video I am currently working on is to help show the turbo install, and the fun with that.

a supercharger would be better for this, it would provide the low-mid tq you need to keep you sideways in those tight corners
