Hey guys, I just bought an 88 Ranger. It has a Rancho lift, maybe 3 or 4 inches. Anyways, the back end rides about 1.5 inches lower than the front. It is pretty noticeable. So, I was hoping some of you who have experience with lift kits and such would be able to help me out with a solution to leveling it with the front end. It already has 2 or 3 inch blocks on the axle under the leaf springs with extended U bolts. Are there block kits that i could just put on top of these, and then just get longer U Bolts? Would adding a couple leaf springs be a better option? Someone told me to put air shocks on the back but i don't know how that would work seeing as it is already lifted in the back or how spend that would be. Just looking for a simple quality fix. Im posting a couple pictures so you can see what is going on, camera is my computer so they are pretty bad. Anyways any suggestions would be appreciated!
