Hey Paul, I'll dig out the measuring tape and let ya know in an hour or so...

If it matters, the sway bar is clamped (like a muffler clamp) on either side of the pumpkin, so you should be able to clear your drive line. And I discovered that my '83 Ranger (was to be a parts truck, but thinking of throwing a V8 in it....) has no sway bars at all. Looks like it never had any, either. Good thing I found out now rather than later..... Good luck Blue coyote ------------------------------ From: "Joe Merchak" Subject: Re: BII sway bar Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2000 17:21:30 -0400 Sway bars are option on the rear of Rangers. They are standard if you got the off road package or if you got the splash version. -----Original Message----- From: small-list-bounce ford-trucks.com [mailto:small-list-bounce ford-trucks.com]On Behalf Of Jon,Jody Sent: Saturday, April 08, 2000 4:24 PM To: small-list ford-trucks.com Subject: [small-list] Re: BII sway bar The width (vertical eye to vertical eye) on my '84 BII (7 1/2" diff) is 30 1/2".

Mills" Subject: Sway bar questions Having seen the current thread about BII sway bars, i wuz wondering....(very dangerous) I'd like to put front & rear sway bars on my 85 2WD Ranger. It doesn't have any now. Are there any other vehicles trhat used a setup that would fit my Ranger? Something commonly found in junque yards? I can't afford an aftermarket sway bar set up right now, so the bone yard is the budget level I have to work around.

Do others have problems with their mid-90's Rangers chewing up front tires? Thanks for any and all input Will I've had no problems on either my '93 or '95 (4X4,ext.cab). I rotate the tires regularly (I have a full size spare and rotate that in). I've now got 106,000 miles on the truck and still have the original tires. And they look like they still have a lot of life left in them (another ) year or two.

Kornfeld" I'm planning to replace the spark plugs on my 96 Ranger which has a 2.3 liter 4 cylinder engine. The sparkplugs on the left side of the engine under the air induction unit look real easy to get at, but the ones on the right side under the air plenem look like they would be very difficult to get at unless I remove the air plenem and throttle position senser. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions about it. Also I would like advice about getting all=terrain tires for my truck. I've got P215/70 R14 on my truck now. I looking for tires with stronger side walls (I tend to curb the tires alot when I parallel park), that do well I snow and to make my truck look more industrial. Thanks for all your help, Jeff 96 Ford Ranger 2.3L 4x2 -Gibson Custom Exhaust -KMM True-Rev Max Induction - ________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------ End of small-list Digest V2000 #43 ********************************** ---------------------------------------------------------- Ford Truck Enthusiasts Small Chassic Truck Mailing List Covering the Ranger, Bronco II, Exploer and Aerostar Send posts to small-list....
