I have a 1995 2wd ex cab. As of now, it has a 4cyl and 5 speed. I am buying a mustang with a crate 5.0 and a t5. Guess where that's going? Yup, right in that engine bay. At the same time, I want to drop it and put some new rims, either 17 or 18 inch on it. I have done enough research to know that DJM is the only way to go, but I have hit a wall. Do I run the dream beams with stock height springs? I don't want to put it on the floor, just take some air out from under it. Also, will the dream beams be ok with the weight of a V8 on them? Along those lines, what springs do I use for it now that there are 4 more cylinders pushing down on them? I know there are others that have dropped a ranger with a 5.0, I just need to pick their brains, or at least find a build thread. When I drop it, what shocks do I use? I am going crazy here....more questions than answers.
