2019 Ranger Solid Axle Swap

The swap is finally done. I've been driving it for a 5 weeks now. It rides amazing, drives amazing and wheels amazing. I'm very happy with the final product, just some minor tweaks to perfect it for me.

Travis there should be a tab where you can attach files on the lower left corner. If there isn't one on yours you can message the Admin as I don't have the ability to fix, add or delete features. In the meantime you can also just copy and paste them into the message.

Thank you! I hadn't tried in quite a while, but I just did and it worked. I'll post a bunch of pictures now
