Lowering 91 Ranger

electricgreen · Apr 6, 2009

I love the ride height on this truck http://www.therangerstation.com/galleries/StreetRangers/SWard.html just wondering if anyone knows which kit was used on the rear? Don't know that it matters, but I don't like the "reveresed rake" look I've seen on a few (front higher than rear). I'd be ok with a slight rake or even across like that truck. Dunno if the owner is a regular or not, I was hoping someone could help. I'm trying to get all my parts and pieces figured out so I know what I'm buying when I'm ready to get my project going. Thanks!

Hey man welcome to TRS. Just by reading the description of it it sounds like it is a standard axle over leaf spring flip. They usually read that the flip kits lower the rear 4 inchs.

you can put a flip kit on the back and dreams beam suspenion on the front it is rather easy to do

What you need is a DJM 3/4 Drop kit. That'll probably put you level.

It includes the 3" drop I-beams for the front.

The flip brackets for the rear.

Check out this link for the install: Installing a 3/4" DJM Suspension Drop check out the before/after pics at the end. I think it's about the same as what you wanted.

Food for thought here. I know in that you posted to Scott Ward's truck he said that he used 1" drop coils. Your coils may have sagged enough over the years to come close to that same height that he got from that 1" dropped coil.

Couldn't tell you about the company but Stylin' Trucks has the kit for $424, and the ever popular Summit Racing has the kit for $540. You could probably even find better prices than that, I just did a quick search.

if i was you i would look around on ebay and craigslist first. i found my front beams on ebay for $100 and my flipkit on craigslist for $25. look around before you commit to buying something.

Thanks for the welcomes and advice. I haven't shopped Ranger parts in a while, so I wasn't sure if there were different brands with different results. My husband has been itching to lower my truck since we bought it, lol. I'll be replacing just about every wear part on the truck as we go through it (it's going to be a complete tear down, fix and rebuild), so we'll be getting new coils.
