What can i do to gain a little more?

[scott3483]

Ok so i have a 4 inch skyjacker on my 94 ranger supercab 4x4 right now. Looks like it has a coil spacer under the coils as well. My coils have started to sag a bit from repeated jumps. I read an article in the tech section about removing the 4 inch coils and coil spacer and swaping in the 6 inch skyjacker coils. I know i could then use the bottom hole on my lift bracket to kinda level things out. Is that really all there is too it? Would i need longer brake lines or anything else?

This is my front coils now...

and this is the article i was talking about...

Those appear to be Skyjacker coils .
I think you need to keep the coil spacer as it also serves as the seat for the spring.

IIRC, 6" SJ spring actually sit at about 4.5" compressed on a supercab and ride height is better set at the upper hole.

I'd go with the 6" ers myself, in this situation. They flex better, and will provide the little boost.

You may want to consider an extreme drop pitman arm though.

You can remove and lower your spring shock mount, but its a little more involved.

In your pic it appears the factory (steel) spring seat is missing and the coil is sitting directly on top of the spacer. I would suggest picking up a couple spring seats for it when you swap the 6" coils in.
