First 4x4 Fords ware made from a license after the blueprints for the Willys. From the relative comfort of the early Bronco to today's huge F-350s that provide enough hardware to drive 46 inch tires and even larger - Ford has a wide spectrum of choice.
Already the basic parts of the four link system have been set up. Bottom plate for the air-bags is also in its final position.
Upper bars are designed so that their length can easily be adjusted.
Since there is nobody making fender flares that will fit the Sport Trac on 38 inch tires we had been searching for something made for a similar truck. We found some 356 inch flares for Nissan Pickup that looked promising and they ware our final choice.
Fitting air-bags shouldn't be more complicated than fitting coil springs - but there are a few not so minor details to take care of.

REVIEW: 2013 Ford F-150 Raptor - The 2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is a special breed of truck that will have you volunteering to run up to the store for milk, bread, and anything else you might need. The Raptor is so fun to take off-road, you may finally even give into that temptation of cutting across a vacant field to get there too.
2011 Ford F250 6.7 liter - Trever from Lousiana has been four-wheeling since he was a kid and will never grow out of it. Specially being and living in South Louisiana. There's always a mud hole to play in.
2004 Ford E-250 - Mark doesn't offroad much except to skid logs or whole trees on his jobs. He needed a rig that could haul his Dad in his wheel chair on the weekends and his chainsaws and climbing gear during the week.
2003 Ford Ranger FX4 - Jeremy from Guam knows a few different trails in Guam. Mostly made up of red clay mud. During the dry season it's relatively mild, but when the rainy season hits it is a whole different world.
