These pictures are with the softer 4-leaf (3 plus overload) leaf packs from the 2WD 88~98 Chevy C1500. They are used with the stock Ranger blocks and shackles and the repositioned front hangers. Unloaded lift is roughly 2~2 1/2" over stock FX4 but the ride is only slightly stiffer than the factory Ranger "C" springs. Torsion bars are cranked about 1 inch.

The loaded picture is with a scaled 2440 lbs in the bed.

5-leaf packs (4 plus overload) from the 88~98 4x4 K1500 would theoretically handle even more load but they have a reputation for a hellish ride in an unloaded Ranger. Besides, the 2440 was taxing the rest of my truck enough as it was.
