For those of you that are unaware.
The website ricksrangerz.com has recently started making several components specifically for the 87-96 Ford F150 (full size).
He makes the following components:
A tubular radius arm kit that removes the stock bracket and bushing and remounts to the side of the frame and utilizes a Heim Joint for less wear. The kit comes with the option to be powder coated or bare and has the option to use the stock shock or removed for coilovers. This still retains the option to run the front sway bar. Those of you that are into airbags, moving the radius arm mounts to the outside of the frame will allow you to almost put the wheels through the hood, if desired.
Coilover Mounts that will remove the stock spring and shock bracket. The option to buy QA1 coilovers are available through the website as well.
I-Beam Bag Mounts. FYI, they will require some welding.
Specific F150 C-Notch bolt in doubler kit with the option for grade 8 hardware. These notches follow the frame of the truck and look to be a better option than whats out there now (IMO). This may require the removal of the stock doubler that L's have.
Jonny Joints for replacing the bushing section of the DJM Drop I-Beams. I called DJM and asked about the size of ranger I-beams and measured my own. They should work but please do your own research first. This will also allow you to bring the front wheel in and outboard as necessary for better fitment of wheels.
Lastly, Tie Rod Notches that are made for rangers but could possibly work on the F150.
I emailed the website and quickly got a response back concerning a tech question which gives a sense of reliability.
Personally would rather run the stock style suspension components than swapping over to the Crown Vic.
Hopes this helps out the community!
