Well, what I did wasn't exactly a lift. I installed a helper spring ( add a leaf) on each side of my son's 87 Ranger and it took the sag out of the spring pack but it also lifted the rear 1 1/2 ot 2". Now the shocks are a bit short.
Do I need to take the factory shocks off, have the auto parts guy measure and try to match a set that is 2" longer ? How do you deal with measuring and choosing the proper shocks after you've done a lift ?
