Default Anyone used a 4" rough country suspension lift on a 92 ford ranger?

I have a 92 ford ranger and am looking into a 4" rough country suspension lift on it. Im not going to do really any 4xing with it just want to get it over the big tires!

it is an easy bolt on kit, you should still only run about 32 inch tires at max though

I have an 87 Ranger with a Rough Country 4 inch lift. It's a lift that's a few years old, but I would not recommend going with Rough Country. From my experience, the ride is much rougher. I'm not able to get the flex I want because the suspension is so stiff. The front coils are much thicker in diameter than the factory ones, and the new rear springs I got with mine were much stiffer as well. I had to take a leaf out just so I wouldn't beat my brain to death going down the road. If you're just going with a lift to fit bigger tires, then that's fine, but you're going to have a much rougher ride than factory. I'm able to fit 33's on my 87, but since yours is a different body style it might not take 33's.

I'm not happy with my lift. It was cheap, so that was pretty much the reason I went with them. Now I'm regretting it. If you plan on driving it on a daily basis and don't want to end up with a bad back, go with someone else.
