I am in the process of returning my ranger to stock height from being lowered. I raised the front up yesterday and today I attempted to do the rear. I bought the truck lowered so I'm not sure if it was all done "right" or not (whatever that means). How do I go about doing this properly? I jacked i up by the rear-end, then after I removed those u-bolt clamp things, do I want to lower the rear end and put jack-stands on the frame or something? I'll add that the springs are above the axle, does that mean it had a flip kit? If so, do I need something else to put this together like it was originally or can I just flip it over? Looking at the spring I can see that I'm not going to be able to get the rear bolt out, unless you can take the front one out first and you can somehow move the back around. Maybe you have to take the hanger/bracket off too? Once I get the nut off, the bolt will not clear part of the frame I guess is what it is. Like the nut was put on the wrong side or something, but I don't see how it was put in unless that bracket/hanger thing can be moved or taken off. Sorry this is so long, I'm just disappointed that I couldn't finish the job today.
