I went throught the whole Its dumb to bag a truck and now its like damnit I wanna bag a truck. I got my hands on a 98 ranger extended cab 2wd I wanna bag it. Is it going to be just like bagging a toyota or s10? I know it has the control arms upfront Im just curious what issues I might run into when I start to tear this apart?

Your gonna have the basics like an S-dime. However you will have to deal with ranny crossmembers, driveshaft hitting the cab, relocating the gas tank or fuel cell "with stock pump" No raiseing it. 4 link, Z the front rails if youwant it to lay flat . Just to get you started.

raise it up, but it still hangs waaaaaay below the frame so it's basically pointless. Blausplash covered all the major headaches.
you don't have to Z the frame; however itwon't lay flat. i haven't had mine done yet, but it's much less noticable in the extended cabs than it is in a regular cab. be prepared to notch the hell out of the cab, the cab crossmember,gas tank crossmember cuz the one piece driveshaft is friggen huge and hits everything.
