- - - 1999 Ford Ranger 4.0 V6 Manual 4X2 Lift Questions - - -

[Triple R]

I have a completely stock 1999 Ford Ranger 4.0 V6 4x2.

I purchased a USED Spring Tech 1998-2000 Ranger V6 6" / 4" Lift Kit which includes:

3" Front Cast Lift Spindle
3" Coils Spring
Upper Control Arms
4" Rear Lift Blocks
Front & Rear Twin Tube Nitro Gas Shocks

However the kit I purchased (USED) only came with the 3" lift spindles & 4" rear lift blocks. I have a few questions that I need answered.

-Do I need the upper control arms and the 3" coil springs?

-Does the 3" coil springs lift it an additional 3" on top of the 3" spindles? Does it = a total of 6" of lift up front or only 3" all together (spindles and coils).

-Can I still crank the Torsion bars for added lift? Is this recommended? If yes, how much lift should I go with when cranking the T-bars?

-Can I run a spring spacer with the stock coil and 3" lift spindle? If so how much of a total lift am I looking at up front?

-As of now I'm told that with the 3" spindles and 4" lift block it has a pre-runner stance (high front / low rear). Can I use shackles to level this out? If so how many inch shackles do I need to level out the truck with 3" spindles only? What size shackles if I ran 3" spindles, coil spring spacers and t-bars cranked?

-What type of shocks do you guys suggest for this lift setup?

-Is this setup ok to run 33x12.50x15?

Ideally I would like to run the spindles, coil spacers, crank t-bars, lift blocks, and shackles on 33X12.50X15. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know! Thank you!

if you have coil springs then you don't have torsion bars.

Right on. Didn't know that. Thanks! Well I guess that makes it a bit easier.
