Probably not the best of options since the 96' Ranger has Twin I-Beam front suspension. But there is probably a kit out. Just be worry of the extreme camber changes.

From what I understand, because of the suspension type on the Ranger, it is fairly expensive to slam a Ranger. there are kits and stuff out there, but be prepared to pay some bux to do it.

Rangerboi, here is a STRAIGHT answer for you.
To lower your front end 5" you will need to buy 2 things...
3" Lowered I-beams
2" Front Lowering Coil Springs
OR you can get the 3/4" kit and add coil springs.
Along with that you will need to install Adjustable Camber eccentrics that you can get from Napa. They install on the I-beams where the top balljoint is inserted.
For the rear you will need this..which comes in that 3/4" kit I posted
Axle Flip Kit
Since the rear end will sit an inch or 2 higher than the front when its all said and done you may consider doing THIS, the pictures are WRONG btw, both of those pictures are what it will look like AFTER you've flipped them.
Run your mouse over my post I have a bunch of links in there..
