    2.) do you know if these are shorter than the saab 900 struts people run? I'm not even low in the rear and I'm totally resting on bumpstop.
    3.) there's no way you're going to be able to make these fit without a front camber solution and rear camber arms. Link to rear camber arms HERE

    Sizes?????

    EDIT: If you can't make these fit I'll trade you my ESM setup
    Yea for the rear spring deal, I probably won't use them, The spring rates on them are pretty low, but i thought it was neat that do fit.. Ill probably end up getting some e36 race lands and using those springs or something.

    The Ford Rangers struts are pretty dang short, Do you know how long the Saab 900 struts are?

    Yea iv been trying to figure out the front camber, Iv found a few companies that make camber plates, But also cost 350$+ and iv herd you can make e36 camber plates work... So I'm dying to know what you used!!
    The rear camber arm diy is awesome. But i do have another question, what did ya do about rear toe, is the factory arm able to fix all that?

    And i went with a 195/40/16.. I was going to do a 165/50 lol.. The car would have been on the ground with wheel gap.

    Yea that would be cool, But that would take for ever to do, i am to lazy for that lol. Ill probably just paint the faces gunmetal grey or something with a polished lip. And i am trying, I am waiting on money to come in. Building on a really tight budget sucks and finding parts for cheap is a little tough.
