A-arms are a must. Moving the engine back half way into the cab is a must. And cutting the front frame just in front of the newly setback engine for center mount arms with coil overs is also a must.

I know I beams are the way to go if you plan to keep stock geometry for the most part, but this would only be fun for me if I built most of it myself. And I do it the way I have it in my head.

Also I've seen way too many Explorers and Rangers land on the front end and break shit. If I'm going to build a jumper, engine will need to go 12-24 inches back.

I should have enough money to get this started if I sell my boat. Not just for money but for garage space. But I like my boat, it's a dilemma. I could replace the neon with the ranger, but then I won't have a DD to work on while I'm building the truck. So I don't know. I need more garage space and more money.
