Davis Motorsports Class 7s Ranger

Kevin Davis (DMS Racing) of Glendora, CA races BITD 7s class in his first-rate Ford Ranger built by Lothringer Engineering. This truck is an early model single cab 2wd Ford Ranger with an updated 2000 fiberglass front end. Kent Lothringer has once again done an exceptional fabrication job as reflected in the craftmanship shown below. With the traditional twin I-Beam suspension up front, the stock beams have been reinforced and gusseted to handle the abuse of the desert. As per class rules, the stock radius arms are also being used, but have been modified to pivot on heim joints instead of the factory-equipped bushing. The suspension is controlled by a set of Eibach coils supplied by Camburg Engineering, hydraulic bumpstops mounted through the coils, and King race series bypass shocks fastened securely to the well designed engine cage. The front suspension has been limited to 12" wheel travel to comply with class rules. The rear is pulling 18" travel with King race series bypass shocks mounted atop a set of Deaver Springs and a gusseted Ford 9" axle. The leaf spring mounting points have been reinforced and double sheared for added strength. Powering the Ranger is a Doug Maxwell (Maxwell's Garage) fuel injected 3 liter, coupled with a Steve Culhane C4 transmission. The truck rides on 35" Goodyear GSA all terrain tires with kevlar sidewalls. The DMS Racing Team is formed by the Davis family and friends, devoted to wrenching on the truck and supporting any effort.
