@amapimper No.. It says everything I have done to it in the description.. I also added 3" in coil spacers...

i have a '98 2.5L 5spd ranger pretty much same as yours but mines a stepside, i was thinking on putting a lift in it, and some bigger tires, did you have any troubles with the body lift? i heard they can make problems ie, fuel filler neck, brake lines and wiring.

[YamahaWR200]

@GeARHeadranger88 I had MAJOR problems with it. But not with the body lift itself. I broke 2 cab bolts trying to get them out. They were just SOOOOOO tight.. But if you follow directions while doing it, it is VERY easy. Just make sure you don't try and cut corners and just follow the directions..

remove that front sway bar, with a locked rear axle it should have went right over the first time! you are to stiff up front! i have been trail riding on 4x4 trails for 9 years in a 2wd open diff truck, lighten spring rate, lighten front end, rear spring rate looks good! to tall in 2wd can loose traction on muddy arcs, run tall skinny tire up front get rid of those swampers up front

@jimmybajakit No the main problem is that I am running TWO coil spacers up front.. I am gonna change the front spring and put a longer one in.. That should fix most of my problems..

[jimmybajakit]

@YamahaWR200 I Thought it was a torsion ifs spacers definetly will screw it up, alot of jeep guys run those, raise that spring mount, and have deaver spring special coil it! they know fords pretty well

@metalmaddness357 It's just cut before the muffler...
