Anyone planning to add a leveling kit?

Anyone here planning to add a leveling kit to their 2019 Ford Ranger?

I just picked mine up this morning but that's definitely number 1 or 2 on the list.

No plans myself. I like the raked look.

Looks awesome.. Does that work on a 2wd as well? I'd actually prefer to lower the rear an inch or 2

I love that color the first ranger I looked at was that color.

This was on display at SEMA in the SCT / Bully Dog booth. It's has new coil over suspension systems front and rear. Two wheel drive only and is supposed to rival cars in handling.

I'd like to lower the rear of our FX4.. To much rake. But there's no simple way to do it without buying some de-arched rear springs (or loading it down with some .... ballast )

Notice how on the shop.ford website all the trucks are nice and level... yet none that roll out of the factory look that way.

I haven't seen the shackle setup on a new truck. In fact I haven't seen a new truck yet....
Can you change the shackle length to affect ride height?
Or is the rear end IRS?

Just your basic leaf spring solid axle set-up.

Shackle length can't be changed by much, maybe an inch.

No space to change the front spring perch.

An example of an alternative to shackles that should lower your rear ride height and perhaps enhance performance;

A great idea except there is no space available for that without some significant flame torch tweaking. That and that mount would transmit a lot of noise up into the cab... it's metal on metal. Great for a race car, not so much for a daily driver.
