Default 97 Ranger on Air Ride

Here is my other ride for those of you who have already seen my wagon here.

the suspension was done at a shop called Crazy Talk Customs

here's some of the info on the setup:
Custom tubular front bag and shock mounts with Slam rs62 airbags to give it more turning radius in the front, Custom radius and tranny cross members so it will lay flat, 10 switch box, 8- GC 450 valves, Airlift 2b7 bags for the rear, Forward facing triangulated 4-link, 8.5 gallon tank, 2- Viair 450c Compressors, Relocated optima battery to under the bed, Digital round gauge, 175psi pressure switch. 20 Gallon fuel cell for the back so the stock tank is gone and there will be no worries about dragging it on the ground. Wheels are Saleen replicas measuring 18x9 all around.

Onto the pics.


When i first picked it up it looked like this...







then shortly after i sent it to my painter...











After i got it back...



















As it currently sits the interior is ripped out because i'm am changing it to black, used to be tan. I am also going to be changing the air gauges, building the system which has an Alpine Headunit, Alpine 4 channel amp, 4 pioneer 6x8 speakers, JL 1000/1 amp, and JL 12w7 subwoofer. the system is in the truck for testing and it sounds amazing already.

here's a shot of the dash:

Before



After





I'll try and update the thread as changes are made, but the truck isn't going to be touched much over winter.

here's an old video of me dragging before paint.

thanks for looking.

i-beams = no control arms, just negative camber.
