i used the mini-coils on a ranger setup i had, only cut 1.5 coils off them so i could keep as many as possible...i think i was the only one putting hydraulics on to smooth out the ride...had a flip kit, 1" drop block, and no c-notch...rode like a caddy if i was hauling about 700 lbs in the back, but being framed out was rough empty...this was in the early 90's, step notches were just coming out and people started trimming the insides of their beds, the toyota p/u 'ballistic' was one of the first body drops on minis...yeesh!! i feel so old...

can't wait to see the pics of the new setup...
