My 1996 Ford Ranger 4x4 sits low in the front with my Skyjacker 6-inch Suspension. I want to do some research and gather some information, and I'm hoping you can help.
It doesn't matter if you're lifted or stock:
I want to know how tall your coil springs are installed in your truck. It doesn't matter if it's stock, lifted, or if you're using a coil spring spacer. All I want is the height of the coil installed with the weight of the vehicle on it.
If it's lifted, please indicate the brand and size of the lift you're using, and if you have stock or extended radius arms.
I also want to know the year, if it's a regular cab, standard cab, or Bronco II, and if you have a heavy duty bumper and or a winch weighing down the front.
Example:
I have a 1996 Ford Ranger 4x4 extended cab with a heavy duty front bumper and winch with a Skyjacker 6-inch lift & extended radius arms - 14.5 inches
Goal:
My goal is to get a baseline of how tall the stock coil spring is in a stock Ranger (regular and extended cab), and then compare those measurements to those of lifted vehicles to show the true amount of lift obtained, and how things like model year, cab length, bumpers, winches, and even leverage from longer radius arms may have effected the overall height.
I really appreciate your participation. The more people we can get to post their measurements, the better.
