I'm looking to lower my 1983 ford ranger, the only problem is the front. I'm only flipping the springs in the back, What can i do to the front to match the rear?

if your keeping it cheap, just chop a coil off the front and call it a day. but don't use a torch, only something like a cutoff wheel/sawzaw, or else you'll weaken the springrate. and also if you cut to much you may have to get camber bushings so you don't go through tires
