[QUOTE="Outback, post: 971625, member: 16439"] Based on a few decades of experience. If you do not have the skills to do this yourself with confidence and can not afford to buy them. Then don't do it and bolt on a "lift Kit". Rather then buying a DD (car) go buy another Ranger (or?) and then start acquiring the parts to SAS it. That way you can wheel the rig you have. at least that way you still get out there in the couple of years that it takes you to SAS the Ranger. Plus if you watch you can pick up a good body shell for just a few bux, like I did on this board. Basically you start the project able to play and learn to drive, you don't spend as much to start out with. You still have a truck to haul parts with... Before you do JackShit first sit down and make a plan including the price and the time line. Start at the ground with the tire and work up. once you have that put a price on every part total it and multiply by two. Next list every tool you don't have add their price, multiply by two. If you don't have a shop space to work in... Multiply both those numbers by two and triple the time line. Lastly when you see the number accept it as real and look into having Crash (or?) do the major lifting as in doing the fabrication to get you to a rolling chassis, and then you build it from there... Just my aught two. :beer: [/QUOTE]
