Hey all. So I went through the front suspension this weekend. Here is the low down. The truck is a '97 Ranger Ext. Cab, 4.0L. I installed custom 5" axle drops and EB 3.5" lift coils, Static it sits level and doesn't seem to "jack" when accelerating like others have had issues with, However when you put it in reverse it does droop pretty good. I know that might be an alignment issue but also when driving down the road it does bob a bit and that causes a wander. So I'm thinking the Skyjacker Hydros aren't enough to cure it. What do you guys suggest for shocks? I have been looking hard at Bilsetin 5150s but don't know how to calculate the proper valving. Also considering going to a little stiffer coil as these are the super flex deavers from Bronco Graveyard and I know they are a little lower PPI than other EB.
