    It's cheap and effective. The problem with these is they have torsion bars like the 97-03 150. But when you do an actual susp lift it lowers that crossmember (like the 150) but the torsion bars actually end up lower than stock, by comparison. So the only way to get some real ground clearance without a bl is to either do a sas or a coil over conversion with a susp lift. So I figured a bl will get me the ground clearance for the time being while I put together my sas.

    dont forget sport tracs are more rear which means parts will be more rare to find....

    pre 05 sport tracs and pre 02 exploders are ranger based. So most of the parts aside from body parts are interchangeable.

    I could just sell a kidney and get this thing.
