2011 Ranger DJM 4/5 Drop

[Joseph311]

I need some on the drop kit that i had installed by a custom shop. The drop looks good until i get to the driver side, it sit's an inch lower than the passenger side i called DJM and the said that i could us a heater hose of a spring spacer to bring it up that one inch i need for clearance. They told me that a quarter inch heater hose will give me 1/2" to 3/4" of lift that was not the case i only got 1/4" of lift. Are there any other spacers or something out there that would give me the lift that i need I’m tired of going over bumps on the driver side and it rubs the tires, the passenger’s side does not rub.

It's the Ranger lean, you can pull the passenger side spring and trim a little to level it out.

Almost all rangers sit lower on the driver's side. The weight of the driver, the fuel tank, and the battery all being on the same side causes the "ranger lean".

I'm guessing that you are talking about the FRONT tire on the driver's side....it rubs the fender when hitting bumps?

If that tire actually looks like the fender is lower on that side, you could put a thicker (3/4") spacer under the coil spring "cup" and use a longer bolt to hold the spacer/spring in place.
