Need ideas to fix sagging front end.

[scott25a]

Please excuse if this has been discussed before. I have a 1996 Ranger Supercab STX 4x4 with add a leaf in back and 2" spacer up front and a 3" body lift, fitted with 32" BFG's. The front end is sagging a bit. Tires will rub, and overall look is not to my liking. I do not have the budget to put a new/larger lift on. I was going to just replace stock front coil and spacer with a 2" skyjacker spring, but read they are kind of soft and won't really give me 2" of lift back. What spring would y'all recommend? I would really like to get rid of the raked look and have the front the same height as the back. Could I fit a 3" lift spring in the front and use camber/caster adjuster to get alignment back in spec? Thanks in advance for any input you might have.

I am not sure how much lift you can run without using drop brackets & still be able to correct caster/camber adjustments. I would say 3" would be pushing it.About how much does the front need to come up?

I figured I would at least welcome you to the site & bump you back to the top of the list. Maybe someone will give you some advice soon. 25 people have viewed this question & nobody has an answer?!?!?

I would like a solid 2" back, 3" if possible. I have read that 2" coils may only give 1.5" of lift. I have stock camber/caster adjusters in right now and alignment is good. Can anybody out there tell me for sure if 3" lift coils can fit and alignment be fixed with changing camber/caster adjusters. Or if 2" coils are the limit, which one will really give me 2" of lift. Thanks!!!!!!!!

new stock coils, and keep your spacers in there. oh and get two piece adustable c-bushings... my .02 cents... that should bump your sagging coils back up, or just get a smaller block in the back or whatever.

Usually once you go over 2-3" of lift you are going to need drop brackets to correct your camber problems... otherwise your truck will look like this \---/

Skyjacker or Rough Country leveling coils combined with however many steel washers needed to achieve the desired amount of lift. Or, as previously stated, keep the spacers you already have and get some different factory coils that aren't as whipped as yours. You could probably get some different factory coils from a boneyard for $30 or so.
