Man that's a nice ranger!!! Sometimes I wish I had a TTB setup instead of the torsion bar IFS setup

But thankfully there's a few options for LT for me :)

Uhhhhh. Don't urs have radius arms and coil springs like rangers ? Or do the canada one do it different ?

I don't own a Raptor, currently I only admire them greatly. I off road in a PrepByJake Ranger Prerunner (1994 Ford Ranger SuperCab 4x4 - Off Road Magazine). I was the 2003 SCORE sportsman buggy champ in a 2-1600 Lothringer. I pit the SCORE Baja races with Locos Mocos. I've been offroading in Baja since 1973.

Welcome. I bet you have some stories from the old days. 1973 that was original box broncos ! And NO suspension. Yall were REAL men back then !

lol no, newer 4x4 rangers are all torsion bars. The 2wd are coils, except the 2wd Edge/Sport which are torsion bar as well. It's not a Canada/Us thing lol.

'97 was the last year for TTB. They switched to torsion bars for the '98 model year and have been that way since then.

No idea man, Dixon bros stopped making them! There's another company that's working on a setup, but no idea how far along they are on it. May end up just buying a first gen 2wd ranger and making one outta that.

That would be pretty sweet and I wouldn't think it cost much and would leave enough cash to drop a 5.0 in it!
