Questions about a 2001 B3000....
Hey Guys,
I have a few questions for you about the b3000 "dual sport".
What kind of shocks do they come with stock? Are they decent?
Do the 3.0 Dual Sport models come with a rear limited slip?
My plans for this truck would be to maybe just do a spacer lift to level it out and then do a limited slip rear (if it doesnt have one already).
appreciate the answers and advice!

I don't know what a dual sport model is, but I suspect the shocks on it are the same you'd find on any other similarly-equipped Ranger.
All Rangers can come with LS. You have to check the Axle Code set forth in the Vehicle Certiification Label (driver's door) to confirm which axle it has.

The factory lsd are junk, thier not much better than an open diff. They have clutches that wear out, so I would be leary about a boneyard lsd. A factory unit may work for your needs, however, I offroad alot and have found the factory lsd to be about useless as they have a weak preload and don't grab verywell. The trutrac is allmost as good as a full locker. The factory unit may be allright for street use, sure isn't impressive off-road.
