You're about to slam your Ranger 6" and are asking for "tips"?

my tip is, do a lot more research. It is not a simple as it is for S-10's, Nissan's and Toyota's, unless you have the Torsion Bar front end, like Nissan's, then it is simply lower and get aligned, although I don't think you can get 6" like that.

I wrote that wrong it is 3inch front and 6inch rear lowering kit by spindle-source on ebay that i think im going to order.

just by swapping in an explorer rear end, you get disc brakes and about 4" of drop.
