questions about ranger/f150 conversions.

[joshcantrell91]

i am looking to get some information about how f150 suspension components would affect and work with a ranger. say for example ive seen that stock f150gives a bronco2 about 3 inchs of lift. but what would happenif you was to use say a 4 inch lift sping that was designed for the f150 to lift it, what kind of affect would it have to the ranger? thanks for the input.!

If you're talking about just stuffing bigger springs under there, that's not going to work well. You need a suspension lift kit that includes the axle drop brackets if you want any hope for properly aligning it afterward.

Skyjacker and James Duff both make good quality kits. For a little less $$$ there's also Tuff Country (not to be confused with Rough Country).

What junkie said. I ran F150 springs on a ranger with a heavy ass bumper, cut half a coil off each, and i just barely aligned the from without drop brackets, which in a way created more problems of their own. Spend the money on a decent suspension lift, or just cheap out on a body lift.
