bump for opinions...... pros, cons, love em, hate em, whatever, give me some feedback on what you think! i know i can't make everybody happy but im trying my best to satisy the majority. and if need be custom orders to help out those that don't like the final "production" arms. Thanks for the support everybody!

I think they look 43 times better with the adjusters at the bushing. It looks like a much stronger design as well.

hell i dont even have a ranger and i want a set!!! between u and seth i am drooling over yall's work ... keep the good work goin... these look way btr then the other design
LOW INTENTIONS
"CLOTHING OPTIONAL"

thanks for the compliments guys, this really was the origional idea but alot of people wanted single adjusters and it would be easier yes, but once its set you don't really have to mess with them again unless you change something in the wheels or suspension.

looks good how much are gonna sell both uppers and lowers for.

i'm still working on the pricing, im trying to see if i can get the balljoints any cheeper i will also eventually have a uniball option as soon as i can get a min to do the CAD drawing and have the parts machined. hopefully i can have the base price together this week with everything welded up and installed for more pictures. i might also do a inital mass production run at first. basically with a group buy from the different forums i am on, to help get the materials cheeper and keep the costs down for everybody!

are they only adjustable positively (outward)?

it dosent seem like they have any room for any negative (inward) adjustmant....

looks much better than the first design for sure! but the adjustability seems weird..

unless you just have them threaded in all the way, and their shorter than then need to be right now. But, if in the picture they are at your base measurment, then it seems like they wont have any adjustment inward.

lookin good!

if where they're at bottomed out is anywhere near DJMs then no one will have any desire to adjust them in any further.

yes the rangers have BAD negative camber thanks to fords huge spindle. ive mentioned a couple ideas to some other manufacturing companys about working out something with a new shorter spindle, but i am waiting on an answer, the thing is the rangers have different brakes and thats why nobody has really messed with them and theres other lowering methods available.

but yes i dont know why anybody would even consider having more negative camber than a DJM arm. if they have some huge wide wheels on the front and body dropped and hitting there fenders i would suggest running stock arms, flipping the balljoints and swapping sides. if somebody really wanted me to make them shorter i could, but the whole point of this project is to help fix the camber issues. and obviously lifted way up you would have more positive camber if you choose to adjust the them out to fix the ride height camber. but who rides with the front at full lock all the time? and if you do just leave them adjusted all the way in. thanks again everybody!
