I have a base model 05 Ranger 2wd and it has lift shackles on the back. If I add a lift spindle to the front will the truck be level ? Ihttps://ibb.co/3syvtkN
 
I don't remember if 05s had stability control or not.. but none of the lift spindles play well with that system iirc.

Besides that, spindles usually come in 3" or 4". Your lift shackles are probably 1"... mabey 2".. You'd have a bit of a squat most likely.

I don't think the Advance Trac stability control comes into play on our trucks until 2010. Your best bet for a mild level is probably a new set of coils. On my last truck I used the 2" coils from Maxtrac and had no problem getting the alignment right. YMMV.

This is my 03 with a wulf suspension 4" spindle in the front stock in the rear. slightly squatted so if u have a 2" shackle it should be level if u install the lift spindle. stock stance has a roughly 2" rake (lower in the front) so with your shackle it should be level
 
They sure beefed up those bumpers over the years eh? :)
