Solo Motorsports has taken the guesswork out of converting your Ford Explorer or Ranger to a coilover front suspension. Replace the factory coil buckets and coil springs with our Coilover Shock Hoop.
The Shock Hoops are welded 80% in our fixture, and the other 20% is done on the truck. This involves welding the frame plates to the frame and welding the lower shock mounts to the Dana 35/44 beams.
The Coilover Shock Hoop is constructed of 1.5”x .120 DOM seamless tubing and 3/16″ steel plate. We designed this engine cage to pick up factory holes for easy placement prior to welding.
Each engine cage comes with a bolt-on crossbar which can be removed anytime you need to work on your engine. The coilover engine cage uses a 2.5” King coilover shock as the primary suspension.
Combine this with our Dana 35 Cut & Turned beams and a pair of our 1.25” Heimed Extended Radius Arms, expect 15” of wheel travel with 35″ tires and no fiberglass fenders. Up to 19″ of travel with 4 1/2″ over beams and fiberglass fenders.
This is a partially “weld-it-yourself” kit. Be sure to cycle the suspension properly, and professionally welded.
