I seen a ranger on cardomain, exactly like mine and it was lowered. it said it had lowering coil and the rear leaf-spring hangers flipped. I love the look of this truck and was wondering how big of a job is this to get it done? if it isn't too bad i would love doing this to my truck.
 
its not hard at all you can do the hanger flip in your drive way with a cut off wheel to cut the rivets and buy 8 grade 8 bolts and nuts as and it gives you 2 inches in the back then some belltech 2 inch coils you can probably find for sale on here

are you just swapping the leaf spring and axle? instead of the axle being on bottom of the leaf spring you are moving it on top?
 
i honestly don't know i read hanger flip so i am not quite sure that it means. i am currently trying to find pictures of what gets done if anyone has any. it would be much appreciated.

I got another question I have sensatrac shocks all round and I just got them few months ago. would i have to change my shocks or can I keep the ones I have now on my truck
 
You "should" be fine. Any change that is 2" or less in either direction is considered acceptable. That's not saying you would be better off with shorter shocks, just remember to buy them next time around.

a 2 inch drop on the rear would be ok with stock shocks however any change in front coils I reccomend drop shocks, doetsch nitro slammers or djm calmax.
 
I say go 4/5! don't do a 2/2 you'll want to go lower when your done!
