Excellent write up! Just an FYI for everyone, the sway bar link bushings on our trucks break or fall apart often. Sometimes you can tell they are shot when you hit bumps you will hear a loud metal on metal banging.
 
it's always a good thing to check when ever you do anything to the truck along with checking the brake pads and shoes for those of us that still have them..... i'd say i check them about every 3 months.....
 
i talked to a guy that runs the lift shop here in town and he said " HELL NO! " you will mess the ranger up using them and it may cost you more than you think if do use them.
