3rd Gen supercab, 4/5 static drop?

[koda6966]

Any of you lowriders out there have a 3rd gen Ranger with a supercab and a 4/5 drop? I'm interested in seeing some photo's if you do. I might go that route with my Ranger since it's only 2wd. Although lifting it or selling it still isn't out of the question. I'm a very indecisive person.

If I go low, it would be with a rear flip kit (website I found it on says 4" of drop) and then front lowering springs. I'd cut mine, but I'd hate to cut into a pair of Skyjacker coils to lower . And I don't really like the idea of cut springs.

I gotta 5/6 and can send you pics. Don't cut the coils, save up the money and get the beams.

Go with a 3/4 drop or 5/6 and on a side note this forum title should be changed from lowriders to mini trucks lol

Agreed.


And Ibeams are the way to go, they will give you 3". Then you can begin cutting or replacing springs for more drop.

Well I was going with whatever drop would fit with a flip kit for the rear. It's either a flip kit, or have my neighbor fab up some custom spring hangars for whatever drop I wish.

with just a flip kit it would be a 2-3 drop,if you get blocks then you can get the 4 in the back

a flip kit on a 83-97 is 4 inches and a flip kit on a 98+ is 5 inches. On the 98+ you can add lift shackles to make it a 3 inch rear drop. http://www.illusivefabrications.com/html/modules.php?name=catalog&file=index&cPath=21_39

gotcha, on my 98 i did a flip n it only gave me 3 in the back

mines 7 inchs in the rear...but its a first gen so pics would be useless for you.

If I lowered I would have to follow through with a cowl hood and bigger rims.

Still unsure about lift vs lower. It all depends on what funds present themselves and how I'm feeling when I have those funds.

Well, none. But I do like racing them backroads with my girlfriend.
