[Murdered99]

Ok so I have a 99 2wd lifted... An it leans hardcore to driverside which is fairly normal from wat I've gathered from this site ab rangers explorers etc... Well how do u go ab fixing this defect?? I can't stand it its rele noticable in my truck.

from what i hear. cut half a loop out of the top of the passenger side front coil. theres a thread about it on another Ranger forum.

I'd just put coil spacers on the Drivers side (front), or a newer Ranger coil spring (up to '97), or just a passenger side spring.

For the rear maybe get a newer Ranger rear leaf, or a leaf from the passenger side and replace the drivers side rear spring.

You could do the coil thing, but it's just so permanent...

just swap the springs from one side to the other then it will lean to the other side and over time it will start to level out

Don't cut the spring. Don't jamb in spacers.

Just replace them. It's safer, better, and your springs are probably shot anyway.

If you look hard enough you will find something cheap. I found a pair of newish Skyjacker Leveling Coils for 60 dollars shipped.

Are your leafs sagging too?

1. Springs are probably shot after ten years.
2. The driver's side is where the fuel tank is IIRC (traded my Ranger on a Sport Trac in '05) so there's more weight there.

With mine it is mostly the leaves that are sagging to one side. Walk up from behind it and you can easily see the lean, while the front is pretty much level.

I got a set of Explorer springs, gonna see if that fixes it.
