Here are a couple pics from the longest suspension install ever.
I hate how the ranger is though, i can get like 5-7" of drop in the rear for like $30 but to get the front like 3-4" caosts about $400

ha, your lucky you have a ibeam ranger, mines control arms, costs about 500 for a 4 inch drop in the front and another 100 or so to get 5inch total
so thanks for the pics of the strut and spring, but what really loweres the vechicle? the strut or the spring? and i keep seeing SVT springs on ebay, will those lower it at all?

finally you joined!!!
To lower a 'tour, its doen by buying lowering springs. The svt has a more stiffer spring, and better performing spring, but if you want to upgrade, there is many upon many of spring makers for the 'tour. Eibach, Intrax, H&R, BAT. Also, upgrade your struts, youll love it!!

Sunroof motor is probably just the plastic gear .. common problem, check out the main site FAQs for a temporary fix; I believe there's a group buy discussion floating around the forums somewhere for a metal replacement gear ...
I'm also in the same boat as you re: missing one 8-spoke center cap  .. difference is I love these rims and am going to replace the cap

14 bucks, that's it?! On man I need to get to my dealer and buy one. I thought they'd be upwards of 30-40 for a pair, given the way the dealer often operates...
