7. There is plenty of room on the lower arm to have hydraulic bump stops added. This is not part of the kit, however.

1. The BTF 6.0 kit includes tubular upper control arms made from 1.5-inch, 0.120-wall DOM steel, boxed 3/16-inch laser-cut lower control arms, stainless steel brake lines, hardware and tie rod extenders. $1,850 will get you all of the parts minus shocks. If you would like BTF to install the kit for you, you are looking at $2,750, which also includes alignment, and limit straps. As you can see, you will need custom shock mounts fabricated to run this kit, so if you choose to go with another shop for installation, make sure they are qualified.

2. The Camburg upper control arms widen the front end of the Ranger 1.5 inches per side. The BTF arms add 5.25 inches of width per side. Both sets of arms are nearly identical in quality and materials used. Please note that Camburg Engineering does not recommend modifying their kit and any modifications made to it are at your own risk.

3. Linking the upper and lower control arms is a 3-inch Camburg Race Spindle that uses a massive 1-inch uniball. Please note that Camburg Engineering does not recommend modifying their kit and any modifications made to it are at your own risk.

4. A close-up shot of the uniball connection shows its strength and BTF's welding quality.

5. The BTF kit will allow up to 18 inches of wheel travel when measured metal to metal. The kit is installed and setup to run 16 inches of travel with limit straps for safety. If you choose to remove the stock heater box and relocate your A/C parts, 17.5 inches of travel is possible.

6. Here you can see the beginning construction of this truck's upper shock mounts. This owner chose to run 2.5x12 Sway-A-Way dual-rate coilovers. Depending on which shock you choose, your mounting options may vary. Contact BTF for specifics.

8. BTF created a shock tower that was easily removable and low enough to clear the hood.

9. At full compression, the suspension is setup to keep these LT295/70R17 Nitto Trail Grappler tires safely out of the fenders. We launched the truck in the air for our photo shoot a dozen times, with each landing nice and smooth.

10.The Glassworks 4-inch Ranger fiberglass fenders don't stand much chance protecting a suspension and tire combo this wide. On top of the wider kit, the owner is running 17x9 American Outlaw Shotgun wheels with a -10mm offset. We suggest looking into 6-inch wide fiberglass options or one-piece front clips if you plan on going this wide.
