83 Ranger wants lowered??

[83_rangerdave]

Well I guess i want it now but not enough money for the djm i beam kit.. Would it be bad idea too do springs in front?? I like too do 3"front 4" rear some how.. what can I do, also its my first truck and I allways liked lowered mini trucks so now I want too do one

You can do the front with just springs, but the camber goes way negative when you drop it any lower than 2" in the front...... I would recommend getting the 89 on up front I-beams and spindles cuz you can get the 4 degree offset bushings to correct the negative camber (83-88 beams you can only get 2 degree bushings), the rear can be done with a flip kit for the axle..... Hope this helps out!!!!!

2" belltech drop coils and flip your rear shackles for 2" The coils are available on my site and links to them are in my vendor section on here. www.illusivefabrications.com

I'm planning on getting started on dropping my 88 bronco2 3/4 in the spring.
Are you saying to buy the 89 drop I beams instead of the ones for a 88.

just trying to gather info at this point.

Yes, the 89-up beams have the adjuster on top of the beam instead of underneath it. You can get bigger degree adjuster bushings for these beams (i think there are 4 degree bushings available) versus the 2 degree bushings for the 88 on down beams.......

With a B2 you will probably need to switch over to a ranger engine crossmember. The b2 explorer and ranger all have different beams. But 89+ would be the way to go if you need adjustability in the eccentric. Napa part # 264-3950 +-4 deg camber caster eccntrics.
