Just switched my leaf springs side to side and added the official Ford anti-lean 1/4" spacer under the drivers side leaf spring to level the truck out.
My next project is to refurbish (blast and paint) some 4x4 wheels and lift the truck 1.5" all around. For the back I want to put in some load adjusting shocks, but this is what I noticed while working on the springs...
Doesn't look like much room for a coil-over shock. The existing shocks already rub a bit. Does anybody have any experience with this? Should I just take out the sway bar, or go with helper springs instead? I want the extra stiffness to keep the factory leafs from sagging more and to lift give it for 255/70R15 tires to look not too big.
I also want to avoid pulling off the u-bolts since I bought the expensive Ford ones.
Anybody ever installed these shocks on a ranger with a sway bar?
