Oh yeah that setup is for 20's on a 235 series tire. It's a huge notch but it's completely boxed with 1/4 plate. I'll get better pics later.

drop ibeams and radius arm relocators are a must for bagging the front of a ranger to get good geometry. if you want to lay frame anyways.

yota clips work the best IMO lol

Honestly by the time you factor in the new tires every 6 months and all the crossmembers you have to buy, it's probably cheaper to just weld on a new front clip and fabricate motor mounts. Does anybody have any pics of a toyota front clip on a ranger?

get the DJM Dream Beams. they will give you a 3" drop and will work great when you go to bag yours. heres a pic of my trucks front i-beam bag install:

I must say that looks mighty sexy right there, how much room do you have with you bottom mount to adjust the camber essentrics on the top of the beam?

HA Brian above said good geometry and I-beams in the same sentence!

adjust the camber on a bagged i-beam Ranger??? lol thats damn near impossible to do

Actually you can get aftermarket camber bushings from Napa that will work just fine. All 3 of the rangers we bagged have em and camber and toe are pretty much perfect at ride height.

thanks for all the help guys. i'm going to start buying some stuff in the next couple of months. also, one more thing, i have a long bed and i know that on s10's there is an extra crossmember for the long bed and x-cabs. is there one on here and i'm going to need to make a new or notch this one right? if i do have to notch it, i will just make a new one.
