Does anyone have any photos of a Splash lowered with only 2" coils??
These are just a few photos I have of the truck on my work computer. Its a factory 2WD, 1995 Splash, 4.0 that I bought new in 1995. I drove the $h!7 out of it back in the day. Now its just my "run to Home Depot" truck. It mostly stays parked in the garage unless I need to haul something. I also keep it spotless clean most of the time. The truck is mostly stock other than wheels, flowmaster, roll pan, and some window tint.
The wheels are custom American Racing Torque Thrust II. I have them wrapped in 245-50-16 in the back and 225-50-16 up front.
I bought a set of 2" lowering springs off ebay a couple years ago, but then I was told by a guy that has lowered a couple of Rangers, that I have to have I beams. So I just scrapped the idea and kept the springs.
It has recently been brought to my attention that I can lower the front of my truck 2 inches with a set of coil springs only.
I DO NOT want to go with the 3" beams. I think that's just too low for what I use it for. I would also like to keep a bit of a "rake" look. Id like to lower the back about 2" (no more than 3") as well.
It already sits about an inch lower than other 2WD Rangers becasue it is a Splash. Does that mean 2" coils will only lower it an inch?
I figured Id check with some of you Ranger experts
