yota clip it. then build a frame. you will not get enough lift to turn with 20s and beams PERIOD.

Bags on beams could physically "work" but the camber change from layed to lifted is pointless and the most the truck will do is drive on and off a trailer. So I definitely recommend a Toy clip with some dope tube arms as James said.

I just like to say I understand what you guys are sayin' but it's a ranger and it is a I-beam truck. If you Wanted a yota, buy one. If you can't lay it out on 20's then roll some 18's or 19's. Then go do a bunch of other badass shit to your square body.

Your wanting info on what to do and it has been listed by James himself. "Clip it" and do it the right way. Don't get me wrong yes you can run I beams and be fine but for what ur wanting the best solution is by clipping it so get out to a junk yard and search around thats half the fun right there!

my buddy had one that was bodied on 19's and i beams, the booster is all that stopped 20's from working and it untucked them no prob with bags. it had a cantilever up front with the bags mounted up front next to the radiator. only real problem was that to pull the motor he had to cut out a bunch of the front suspention or else pull the cab.

sorry no pics of the underhood, he might have some though.
puponair is his name on here. (and he wasnt the builder....)

Sorry what I meant to type was bag on radius arm set-up would get enough lift. Have fun wearing tires faster than Kyle Waltrip. Good Luck with the build though. JR
