How can I tuck 22's on a 4/5 DJM Kit Dropped 2006 Ford Ranger?
Hey there, I have a 2006 RWD Ford Ranger XL SuperCab
I installed a DJM 4/5 Lowering Kit, thinking on lowering it the most possible to use 22" wheels... Though, I think I went a little overboard on the front, (need to lift it back up 2") and after that, I might need more lowering on the back, so I kinda need to get a final 2/7 drop... any ideas on how to get there without messing too much with the suspension installed already? Here's some pics before, after, and testing the 22 wheels... Before DJM Kit  After DJM Kit  Testing 22 Wheels on   20's fit perfectly but after seeing it on 22's ... well, you know

flip your rear shackles to get another 2" of drop, but you'll need a bolt in C notch otherwise you'll be sitting on the frame

Bag it. Remove the front inner fenders. C-notch. Cut the bed. Done.

Well it's really the only way. To be honest the 22 look out of place. But who the hell am I.

I could try 20's... but then I would have to lower the rear about 2" more...
How much do you think you can lower the rear without C-notching it?

Can't really. C-notching isn't bad. They have bolt in ones if you can't weld.
Problem is those 22" wheels you have are wrong in general. Look how they are sitting. Completely wrong offset. Even if you lower more your gonna have to flare the fenders.

I'm also considering 20's but as it is right now (lower on the front), the stance is horrible... I would need to lower the rear about 2", and if I need a C-Notch for that... well, it is more work than I thought...
