Will order stock and wait for H&R to make lowering springs or coilovers (or at least adjustable perches for the rear). The aftermarket should be huge if Slate happens.
Had a '90 reg cab, full bed 5spd Ranger. Reliable and I carried a lot more then 1000lbs several times. Drove like a truck and was slow. Slate hopefully will be a much better driver.
Hopefully in addition to the exposed fasteners, there are additional fasteners inaccessible unless another locking piece (hood, door, tailgate, etc.) is opened.
For example, on the fender we see fasteners but maybe there are additional ones on top covered by the closed hood.
