Reload this Page camper on 4 cly ranger

Ford Ranger More than two decades ago, the Ford Ranger debuted as an answer to various compact pickup trucks being made available by Japanese automakers. The Ranger was cleanly styled and offered with a choice of a 6-foot or 7-foot bed. Ford boasted that the Ranger had more interior room than the best-selling imports and that 4-by-8-foot construction material could be carried in the bed.

Ok. I just wasn't sure if it was a trailer or not. But since the camper is in the bed over the rear axle I would try like others said add one extra leaf.

First, you may install the extra leaf and then discover it to be insufficient. Second, the leaf installation will result in the rear end setting high (too high..??) when the camper is not loaded.

Speaking of "loaded", the air shocks will allow you to adjust the bed level to a consatnt height regardless of load.
