2008 lowering kit

[Rooster58]

Does anyone know where I can get a lowering kit for my 2008 Ranger Supercab? I checked the DJM website, but they don't have anything listed for '08. Any help would really be appreciated. By the way, this is my 6th Ranger!! Gotta love them!!

The DJM kits listed for anything above 98 will work on your truck. Unless you have an edge or a sport, which in that case both those suspensions use torsion bars.

But as long as you have coil springs, anything that is for a 98 and up will work just fine for you.

Thanks for the info. This is the first Ranger I have had that doesn't have either i-beams or torsion bars so any help I can get is greatly appreciated! So far they have been: 1985, 1991 XL Supercab, 1992 XLT Supercab, 1994 XLT, 2001 Edge Supercab 4X4. My current ride is a 2003 F-150 XL 4X4 and I'll be picking up the 2008 in April.

Oh very nice... Anything special with the Ranger or you just going base model ?

I'm going with a few options. I ordered the XLT 4 dr supercab 4x2 with 4.0, 5 speed auto, 3.55 limited slip rear end, power package, 290 watt stereo, tinted windows and bucket seats. I really don't like the chrome grill so I will probably order the Sport grill and have it painted body color (black). I got the painted wheels since I plan on changing them anyway. For now I just plan on lowering it but I'm not sure how much yet. It will be my daily driver in the summer months (I live in upstate New York). Not sure about wheel size yet either. I have a set of Weld Drag Stars and the back ones are pretty wide (15x12), but I might wait a year or so before I start modifiying the frame and rear end to get them to fit. I might just go with some 17's for now.

Sounds very nice... Post pic when you get the truck, And I would love to see the tires on the truck sounds like a nice setup you got.

when you pull the chrome grill let me know. I want to get one of those and replace my black honey comb grill, unless you want to do a trade maybe?

What does your grill look like ? I have a 2005 with the chrome trim grill ? I do however think the grill and hoods were changed in 04 ???

But hey let me know what you have and I might be interested if you are.
