Best option for leveling? (lower rear)

[mach828]

Hey guys. Just signed up. I've got a 92 Ranger 2.3 MT 2x4 Reg cab. So far I've done the airbox mod, put a 2.3 LIMA header on it, straight through muffler, gone through all the fluids, egr delete, etc. Its running like a champ, great city mpg and cruises the freeway 80 no problem.

Anyways, I want to level the rear to match the front. I have no knowledge on the best option to do this.

Can someone link me to the parts I need, and any install instructions with pics would be great. It needs shocks bad, rear ride quality is trash unless I've got a lot of weight in the back.

I've never lowered a truck, but rear leaf springs aren't all that complicated. Start with these articles and see what you think.

Neither have I. Always gone the lift route. I think I'll try flipping the hangers and see how it looks. Thank you for the information!

I found lowering shackle that I bought on ebay to be the easy way to lower the back of a Ranger. http://www.therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=146976
These are the brand I went with and I'm happy with them http://www.ebay.com/itm/1989-1997-F...Ranger&hash=item3cd544c4cf&vxp=mtr&rmvSB=true
