No drop spindle for the Ranger, you'll need to either get coils or the lowered a-arms.
Drop leaves are easy. I have ChassiTech and just about anyone makes them for these trucks. Shop around on those for the best price.

That kit comes with 2in drop coils and a flip kit for the rear. It will drop your Ranger to give you a nice stance, but almost... almost... everyone ends up wanting to go lower, so I would recomend the 4/5 drop, comes with upper and lower control arms, and a axle flip kit for the rear, get the bolt in c notch, and a good set of drop shocks and you should be satisfied.
But if you are not wanting to go to low, I guess, the 2/3 drop will work nice for you. Just remeber to get some goo drop shocks.
Also if you are only wanting to go with a 2-3 in drop, why not cut a coil out of the front springs, and flip the rear spring hangers ? Nets you a good 2in drop all around, and with a good set of drop shocks you would be satisfied. Total cost of that would be : about $20 for the grade 8 bolts, and about $75 or so for a good set of drop shocks.
It really is your call.... And one last thing... :worthless:
