this kit I got is for a Toyota, shows it to fit dodge, chevy, all small trucks. Not specially for the ranger.
So I am going to see if the brackets that came with this kit actually will work or if I need to fab up some brackets. but the air bags cost about 100 bucks each so I got this kit for 40 bucks I figured I can get brackets LOL

thanks for the pics, how long is the air bag itself with and without the spacer at the bottom?
my air bags do not have that spacer but the bags look longer? so if you could measure them would be great.

thanks Morgan

I have the original instruction sheet, I even called airlift this morning, they had me take a picture of the manual, cuase they never seen the roll plate not made onto the air bag(spring) so I sent them the picture they said that was an old kit I said yeah I know it was new old stock it was missing the roll plates so they found 9 roll plates and are going to send out to me for free. they said it was this kit was made for all small trucks toyota, ,s-10, dodge , mazda, and ranger.. but in the instructions it just says find a spot before or after the axle to mount the brackets.

so I will take pics when I get the roll plates and start the install

I even had them give me the p/n for the new style brackets like you have but they said I should not need them. so we will see..
here are the pics I sent them today


thanks for the info Morgan
