lets see your trucks

olranger · Jun 3, 2009

i have a 91 ranger, i cant make up my mind if i want to go 2inch drop with coils or 3/4 with i beams. i dont want to sit to low to the ground and cause damage to the underneath and ride like a log wagon, i want to still be able to get a jack underneath it. I plan on putting 15 crager ss on my truck. i want to take out the wheel well space, and have a nice stance. So i figured if i can get some pics to make up my mind. :icon_confused:

3/4 will ride like stock but with better handleing due to the lower center of gravity. Coil springs change your spring rate.

i would go with a 3/4 drop cause of what slammed said and also if you get a scissor jack
it will fit under it

go 5/7 lol

i did a 3/4 drop with beams and it handels great. i can still get a floor jack under it and it is very practicle. i would like to go another 2 with springs and 2 with blocks in the back.

my 91 has the belltech 5/6 up until the accident drove it every day... n problems... rode better than stock... hardley ever scraped... shs going to the body shop tomorow! the lower the better...

im not crazy about the airbags or hydro cause u loose alot of drivablilty.. but the 5/6 was a great investment...

'89 Ranger XLT........the avatar is before the 3/5 drop.......short coils & rear spring shackle flip......I've done a little more on it since the avatar was posted....

dj224ranger · Jun 5, 2009

mikebolk where do you live that you dont scrape with a 5/6 drop...i have a 4/5 drop and i scrape occationally

ILLEGALCONCEPTS · Jun 5, 2009

You need to change you tranny cross member out. That was the only thing I was scraping on a normal basis. As soon as I did, no more scraping. I also have the one for the radius arms but haven't gotten that far yet. That'll be next after I get the rear end together again.

im in jersey... the only time i ever had a problem was hitting a speed hump at like 20 mph cause i didnt see it... the trany cross member does sit kinda low but as long as your mindful of that your good...

i have beams coils and flip... awesome stance and a great ride!

dj224ranger · Jun 5, 2009

o ok
illegal- i am in the same boat as you i got the tranny crossmember on and havent done the radius arm crossmember yet cause i still have my worries about the shocks not hooking up right after i swop it out because the radius cross member moves the back of the radius arms out

ILLEGALCONCEPTS · Jun 6, 2009

I guess that is something I will have to pay attention to. I hadn't noticed a difference but I haven't had a chance to see them side by side yet. I'm hoping to do mine in the next 2 weeks. My rear spring bushings won't be in till Thursday and I don't want to pull both sides of the truck apart at the same time. I would really like to take it out for a spin, it's been close to 3 months now that it's been sitting.
