Ok so I'm finally getting a mini but I have no idea where to start suspension wise other than just static dropping it and saving for bags. What all do I need for them? I'm looking to get a Ranger. thanks!  

well you have a lot of options, i would recommend buying a air kit(usually includes most everything you need) and a link setup for the rear. try and find a kit that will fit your needs and your budget.  

I was lookin' at those on suicidedoors but I have now idea what all the different kinds of links are. You mean the preconstructed ones? cuz I have no idea how to weld.  

Anybody? I'm really looking into it but I have no idea what to look for.  

i checked around but couldn't find much of a bolt on rear for the rangers (lots for s-10's), www.airbagit.com sells an air kit with brackets specific to rangers, but it comes with a 4 link that needs to be welded in.  

yeah after lookin around on here it seems rangers aren't too popular due to the i-beams n stuff. guess ill just get an s-10?  

the later rangers have control arms (97+?), i have an s-10, and i would rather roll a toyota anyday, everybody around where i live has a cool s-10. have you thought about toyotas? they have good suspension geometry and are pretty easy to bag.  

I wanted one for awhile but up here in Va all we got is used lifted ones or old rust buckets ppl want 5k for  

that sucks, craigslist for phoenix arizona usually has clean older yotas for under 2 grand. i got my 86 yota for $500 already bagged(crappy job), my 79 for free, and my 95 s-10 for free. i noticed the minitrucks seem to hold their value even when they're all messed up and abused.  

yeah, hondas around here can have 200+ miles and they still sell for 2 or 3 thousand only cheap stuff we have is old family sedans lol
