Hey guys, I'm a new Ranger owner who's looking to give my truck a sportier feel. I'm coming out of driving a 2000 Cougar, so it's sort of a rough transition for me. The truck is a brand new '09 Ranger Sport 2wd with a regular cab.
I've been lurking on these forums for a while, so I know my best bet is probably a DJM kit. I know I'll get the best handling out of a 4/5, but I have a few questions:
1. Will my stock rims rub? (stock 2wd Sport 15"s and tires) I plan on getting new rims and tires anyway, but ideally I'd like to lower the truck first.
2. Will the truck bottom out, or come too close to the ground with the 4/5?
3. Anything else I should know or do?
If there are a lot of extra hurdles to jump with the 4/5, I'll probably play it safe with the 2/3 and add in a rear Bronco II sway bar. I'm sort of figuring it out as I go, though, 'cause I'm a complete newb to suspension. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
