I just lowered my '89 ranger and needed some info. I didn't want to, but because of cost, I cut off 1/2 coil at a time on each coil spring til I got the look I wanted (I'm morphing my Ranger into a "36 Ford Ranger"). I cut a total of 2 coils off each spring. It lowered the front end 3". Everything looked real good til I drove it down the street--when I got back to the house, the front end had settled down, and the front tires were tilted in at the tops about an inch. I took a Johnson angle locator (from Home Depot) and checked the wheel lean---it was a NEGATIVE 3 degrees (the tops of the wheels leaned in toward the engine). I checked out the NAPA site and found some 3 degree positive camber bushings. I'm getting ready to install them. I'm not sure, but I think 4 degrees is the most you can change the camber without replacing major parts. If your wheels are leaning more than 1 & 1/4 inches from vertical (straight up), you've probably cut too much off the coils and need to buy some DROPPED spindle beams (and new coil springs) to get the same look without wearing out your tires or loosing control of the truck. There's a formula for figuring the angle change, but it's a lot easier to to use a $20 angle gage. (old post-new answer!)
