1994 4.0 "Leveling Kit"
So my Ranger squats pretty badly in the front. About 3-4 inches lower I measured. I want it to sit level but find conflicting ideas of what I'd need for my ttb. Here's what I want to do, put 4 inch coil springs on in the front or 3 inches if I can find them somewhere. I read that I may need the camber castor bushings or drop brackets for the radius arms and that I also may not. So I need your guys experience on this. I just want the truck leveled out but I want the suspension to work properly also. Thanks!

If the front sits 3-4 inches lower then that's really bad. Possibly a broken spring or really worn out coils.
You have a couple options
(*) New coils for your specific truck - OEM replacements
(*) Rough country 4" lift kit. Comes with all necessary items. Pitman arm, drop brackets, shocks, coil springs, and I believe brake lines as well.

Re: 1994 4.0 "Leveling Kit"
I do think the stockers are extremely worn out. When i leave my drive wag if i hit it just a little hard the front will bottom out. I think ill give the new OE ones a go and if they dont work out ill get a leveling kit.

Rangers come with an inch or two of take from the factory. 4" is quite extreme.
Getting new OEM coils should get you back in the 1-2" range.

Re: 1994 4.0 "Leveling Kit"
You think Rough Countrys 1.5" leveling coils would do my truck some justice?

I have the 4.0 coils on my 95 ranger and I'm about to put on a rough country 4 inch lift. Maybe I could sell them to you but they are pretty cheap right now. I think $100 bucks and free shipping plus $50 for the camber bushings

Damn the rake on that truck though.. Haha
My opinion? I vote Rough Country kit. New coils, shocks, brake lines and you get a 4" lift for just a couple hundred bucks more

Heres the thing though I dont want the truck much higher than it is, its more of a worker for me. Thats why im so stuck on leveling it out.

The Rough Country 1.5 coils may be better for you. However I'm not sure if you need longer shocks.

I can measure for shocks easy enough. But one last question, do you think I'll need those new adjustable camber castor bushings?

More than likely.
