Budget drag suspension for a truck - Ford Muscle Cars Tech Forum
2007年3月30日 · Ok, my truck isn't a Ranger, but its basically the same platform. Mine is a 2wd 1982 F100. Front is the same ttb suspension setup. I replaced the coils with Eibach drag launch front coils that are made for a fox Mustang. They were a pretty much bolt in. I also used Comp Engineering 90/10 front drag shocks.

Help me out with a drag suspension for my fairlane.. - Ford Muscle …
2007年12月21日 · Stock front spring rate OK, or I believe early Mustang springs will also work. I would urethane the front suspension as well. You can ditch the front sway bar or disconnect the end links at the track also. Lakewood (or equivalent) drag shocks front and rear. Extend the shock length if needed so that they do not limit suspension travel.
Ranger ladder or 4-link - Ford Muscle Cars Tech Forum
2008年1月17日 · So you are at the mercy of the design of the suspension on that particular car. And on most trucks, traction wasn't even thought about much...pulling a load and having a smooth ride were priority. Ranger included. Think about it...how easy is it to smoke the tires in a 2.3 5 speed ranger? Pretty easy. Even though it's only a 2.3 100 HP engine.

2014年11月19日 · I used 17x7 in the front with a 0 offset (3.5 inch backspace) and could have easily used 17x8 with a 4 inch backspace as I did in the back. I may change the fronts out in the future.

Installing Roller Spring Perches | Ford Muscle Cars Tech Forum
2009年3月28日 · Nowadays, I probably would have purchased some of F15's perches, but back then, they didn't exist. When rebuilding the front end, a poly bushing kit that included bushings for rear shackles, front spring eye, lower control arms, shock mounts, strut rods, shock absorbers, bump stops... everywhere there was a bushing, was $149.
Drag shock settings. What do they mean? - Ford Muscle Cars Tech …
2003年1月19日 · I run CE drag shocks on my street/strip car. 60/40 front and 50/50 rear normally. I use a home-made tool to set the fronts to 90/10 at the track. I have good separation at the rear with the SSM lift bars, so I leave the rears at 50/50. I don't drive it much and I would not recommend drag shocks for a car driven every day/everywhere.
62-65 RRS Coilover front suspension - Ford Muscle Cars Tech Forum
2013年11月30日 · This will allow me to use later spring shock mounts on the upper control arms then use drag shocks at the strip and street shocks for the road. And replace the lower control arms with those high dollar stock ball joints on the Fairlane. The suspension travel this setup has will work with the CalTrak rear suspension I have for the car.
Taking sway bar off vehicle for drag racing?.... - Ford Muscle Cars ...
2003年4月16日 · Since the end-link bushings have to be compressed to allow full droop of the suspension, some energy is being used that could go toward weight transfer. Is is also possible that the sway bar stops the supsension from acheiving full droop. The goal of the front suspension is to be as loose and willing to droop as possible. (Think of your 90/10 ...
