cant decide on wat way to lift my ranger.

[legoms013]

F150 springs and exploder leaves with 2 inch drop shackles. THis will lift you front and rear about 2 inches, then do a 2 inch body lift with welded washers and you have a total of 4 inches. It will cost you less than 60 bux. roughly.

I've misunderstood what you are trying to say here. Lets get this cleared up, I want to sleep easy tonight.

Are you saying "do a 2" body lift AND 2" steel washer mod from the tech library (for underneath the coils)"???

Or are you saying MAKE a 2" body lift out of some other convention (welding of steel washers to extend the height of the body mounts)???

BTW I assume most people don't know how to weld unless they explicitly say so somewhere in the thread, so I stray away from suggesting to weld anything to anyone who might not have that ability. Just a safety precaution, I've see way too much hack fab work in recent years, posted up and if I saw that crap on the road I'd let them pass by while I "stop for a coffee".

And yes I am not afraid to post up what little knowledge I may have. Its the least I can do to pass-on some info to another for their benefit.

And also I have nothing against using/doing the steel washer mod, F150 coils, or any other simple, cheap bolt on upgrade for an RBV of junkyard parts from other vehicles. I myself have used steel washers in the past. Nothing wrong with cheap.

Drop brackets up front, and probably drop shackles AND blocks for the rear.

Extended brake hoses, drop axle pivots and pitman arm brackets of the springs are 2+ inches, camber bushings. If your putting coils on the fron you'll need blocks or AAL in the back.
I dont know why anyone would buy "lift coils" though. There are plenty od much cheaper coils that can be used..
