    But today i was sitting at work thinking and thought it would be pretty badass to convert my truck from torsion bars 97-03 style to the newer coilover setup like on the 04-present trucks...shouldnt take too much work or fabrication..anyone have any ideas or thoughts please any input would be great on this..i know SAS would be badass.but dont think thats the way i wanna go for a DD

    I think it's be badass. You might have to get some LCAs made, don't think they'll be the same width

    could easily be done.
    i know tons of ranger guys do it.
    just need a shock hoop for the coilover and a bracket on the LCA as far as i know.
