i want to body my 91 ranger but the box body rangers have a low fender line makin it hard to untuck big wheels for daily drivin and turning...i just got 20s for it and am havin problems makin it lay first of all but i was wondering if anyone has any ideas of how i could do a cantilever setup off the i beam or radius arm to get more lift when i body drop it but it also NEEDS to lay...any one got any ideas?

ive built a couple trucks this way, can untuck the explorers body drop with 90 psi with 20s but turning radius becomes a problem.

Look at the way the lifted rangers radius arms are built, with big ass heims and tube contrustion...I would say build some cutstom radius arms, longer than stock, and with a big ass heim or uniball, double shear mounted at the back end, then mount the bag on that, you will lose some turning radius but you will get more lift.

Or go to a tube Ibeam mojnt and use 2600 lb bags...I used to have a setup like that on my I beam mazda, and it got a good amount of lift, and rode great too.
