Cheapest isn't recommended but it'll work lol

Cut 2 coils off of front springs

Flip rear shackles

Total 2 inches of drop front and rear

Now the 2011 is it coil spring or torsion bar? What trim level is it? Exp. Xl, Xlt, sport

Ok well you can pick up a set of 98-07 ranger torsion keys (pre key mod 2") from a junkyard and then some #1 torsion bars (door code 1) and max them out that will be about 4 inches less than $100

You won't want to max out the bars if it's 4wd but you can crank them up a lot

Correct and 1 coil on 98+ trucks are 2" so I'm at 7/8 and my ride is good but everything is notched out. The belltechs are $130 new and rode like a stock truck when I was 5/5
