So I put some 2 inch drop coils in my 92 ranger and now its sitting on the bump stops. Is this normal?

Knowing the lifted side of things I'd say your having the complete opposite effect us lifted guys have. My suggestion would be to take your bump stops out and put shorter ones in or relocate the mounting location for them. Hope this makes sense to you.

I wish it was that easy. It would end up way to low if I did that. First lowered truck I've ever had, always lifted before.

I've been considering doing something with my mazda.
Did you do just the coils or a tull kit? And what did you use?

Just coils, dont know anything about them as I got them used and the PO was unsure as to what they were exactly.

Did you have to do anything else to the frontend after installing the coils for caster adjustment?
Also would you post some pics?
This would be the first time to drop anything and would like a visual.

Different year Ranger, but my 2" coils didn't put me on the bump stops. I was riding pretty close to them so I simply cut them in half. I had enough suspension travel as long as I wasn't being stupid. They do make aftermarket ones that are lower profile if you want to buy something.
