Your post caught my eyes. 
I was talking to Airbagit.com (Yuri)two weeks ago about putting a system together for my 2008 ranger sport. Here are my thoughts. I want air ride..front and back. I want to ride -4 to -5 in front from where it is now, and retain full wheel travel so that ride quality improves with drop and air system, not gets worse. Torsion front suspension..torsion bars removed. The first idea they swung at me was replacing upper control arms with custom units, along with a bracket to pick-up the top end of the airbag. that is the air bag it acting on top of the top control arm. My initial concern with this was that the control arms would be angled up somewhat and not have very good range of travel for bumps. That would mean custom lower control arms too to clear the interferences at that ride height. After further thought, it occurred to me, that if someone is building upper and lower control arms all ready, why not make them to mate up with 2" drop MustangII spindles. The length of control arms could be adjusted to suite any differences in offset, and the control arms would be positioned more parallel to the road meaning good travel range and better geometry. Only catch is they need somebody with a Ranger Sport to swing by so they can make some measurement, fabricate it up and test fit. Anybody up for pursuing this? The upper arms and bag was 899.00 and the lower custom arms were anouther 300.00 if I recall. 2" drop mustang II spindles ? This also opens up some good options for rotors and calipers. thoughts guys? group buy to get pricing down and get this happening? 
I am not sure what to do at back end yet...I think for now just pulling some leafs and installing bags, and doing shackle flip, but I will play with this for awhile.
