well, Summer's winding down and so is my "full time, bust-ur-ass all day, too tired to work on the truck when you get home" job! So I'm finally ordering the shocks tomorrow from Stylin'Trucks. (FYI they sell the most economic spring compression tool around: $15! Not bad if you don't use it all...
That helps out a lot! And to chime in on the alignment discussion on my '99: 3" drop springs will put some wicked neg. camber on the front wheels, but I'm just going to rough it for a while, since i probably only drive 500 miles during the 9 months away at school. Then mabey christmas break I'm...
I've got a '99 Ranger XLT, single cab, 2.5L, 5spd. It was purchased one month ago almost completely stock. I'm going for a 3"/4" drop (so it might actually look lowered ;). To accomplish this I'm getting 3" front springs, a 3" DJM flip kit and 1" blocks to get the rear down to 4" total drop...

I know there are threads for this question but no definite answeres: What are the best drop shocks for a 3"/4" drop? All the stuff I can find on the various sites (stylin'trucks, godfathercustoms, etc.) are for 4"front passenger, 4"front driver, 5"rear, and all that. Nothing seems to be spec'd...
Quick (probably stupid) Question: What are the consequences of putting a 3"/4" drop on my truck (3" drop springs; 3" flip kit + 1" blocks) and...hold your breath... Driving it without drop shocks for a day or so???
Ok, I've got a question about thriftiness in the back: I too am on a budget and instead of opting for a DJM kit, I was wondering:
1. DJM 2" springs up front
2. Summit flip clips (and most likely new U-bolts)
3. blocks between the axle and leaf springs to adjust the rear height.
I'm not sure...
