87 ranger 4x4 FACTORY 4cyl turbo diesel

Doesn't matter, goes fast. lol

Cranked torsion bars and sitting uphill a little in the front makes it look worse than it is, but yea, you need airbags to haul trash with a a Chevy!

Yea, I know. I do 40-50k per year with one. The 2012 handles the load better than the 2011s did. Waay better than the 07 classic(obs) did..

Thats pretty noticeable though...

What's funny is that it doesn't sag much more with a heavier load??? Hauling a triple turbo duramax and it doesn't look as bad as in that pic.

Gooseneck vs bumper pull makes a big difference. Think of the leverage the bumper pull trailer has being that far away from the centerline of the axle. Whereas the gooseneck's tongue weight is not enhanced by leverage.

My guess is because the ranger is on a bumper trailer, where as the trip turb chevy is on a gooseneck

Does it have overloads? Might be sitting on them!

When my 2k was new, I put all my gear in the bed and it was on the ***kin overloads... :doh:

I dicked with add a leafs for a couple months. I started putting shti other places to compensate for fhe crappy springs. Called skyjacker for advice, wound up with a 6"lift on the way. Been there for 250k miles and its rock ***kin solid....the truck is waaay overloaded before it sags. Wouldnt do it any other way!

Yea gosh darn it!! Got me all excited for nothing thinking it was up for sale again. :slap:

 

[GO BIG OR GO HOME]

Wow! I had completely forgotten about this! I guess while I'm here I'll do an update. NO it's not for sale. I finally did find a good parts supplier for these engines and have a complete overhaul kit on the way with all new Mitsubishi parts. The build thread cometh!

Mods please close this!
