DJM 4/5 on 20's... Simplest way to level 1 inch...?
Hey there,
I have a 2006 Ranger SuperCab with DJM 4/5 Lowering Kit installed running on 20's...
Does anyone have any ideas on how to level it
Up 1" higher on the front and 1" lower on the rear, for a final 3/6...
The simplest/safest way considering its current stance...
I would really appreciate it.
PICTURES:
DJM KIT COMPONENTS:
Front: DJM lowering springs, 1315 calmax shocks, DJM lower and upper control arms.
Rear: DJM Flip Kit, 1900 & 1800 calmax shocks.
WHEELS:
Rims: 20" X 8.5" Camaro Replica.
Tires: Carbon Series 245/35 R20
Thanks in advance...

I'm not big in to the lowering crowd but perhaps some smaller leafs? After that I'd say throw some sand bags in the bed

I think you can lower the rear easily by installing lowering blocks and/or adjustable shackles... yet I'm not sure if it is safe at this configuration...

That "ranger lean" is killing (only) my left inner fender...
How about these options to raise the front 1"? Anyone has experience with them?

Why not just use 1" lowering blocks in the back? Easier to lower the rear than lift the front... Unless you are having rubbing issues up front??

Have you removed the plastic inner lining and rolled the fenders?

I looked under the hood to see what I could do to the inner lining.. but seems like there's not much space and some parts are actually resting, bolted on the plastic...
