I have a 96 b2300 extra cab 2wd. Right now I'm riding on 2 inch coil spacers and 33's. I noticed when I did this mod that my truck rides way stiffer all around. Not sure if its from the tires...too much air, or maybe just more unsprung weight. I want to get another inch out of the front. So my question is what can I do for cheap to get 3 inches of lift and a softer ride for my truck?

did you get longer shocks or different springs? you could buy some skyjacker 132s springs that will be the same height as the stock ones and theyll be softer too. just remember if your DDing it you dont want to go to soft or youll get poor handling and cornering.

DDing? I'm trying to figure out what kit is on my ranger. 132s springs upfront, block under leafs. Is this a level kit because those springs are stock height?
