Trade lowering I-beams?
I have a set of 3in drop I-beams for a 83-88 ranger. I'm looking for a set for a 89-97! Anyone wanna trade?

i can tell ya a secret... the ones for the 83 to 88... are the same as the ones for a 89 to 96 .... this i know cuz im swapping projects and called Bell-Tech to make sure my drop i-beams would work.... they ASSURED me... they are the same !! ... or if you want to be sure.... look them up on the web and give the Tech dept a call... they will tell ya in about 15 seconds.....lol

83-88 mount the ball joints in the I-beam and 89-96 mount them in the spindle. I'd double check that rep on the phone, make sure they ain't blowing smoke. I'd be grumpy if they sold me on the wrong ones!

Re: Trade lowering I-beams?
Yes, a 90 and 96 are interchangeable. Take a closer look at what you got! Not sure but if I remember correctly, belltech does not make I-beams for 83-88 and they're a little harder to find.
83-88 first generation beams (ball joint threads point down, castle nuts below ball joints)
89-97 redesigned I-beams (ball joint threads point up, castle nuts on top)
98+ Control arms (completely different, no I-beams)
I'm not looking for advice or secrets, if so i'd post in the discussions. If you'd like to do some trading, let me know!
