Coil Spring Spacers

So my ranger is lowered 3/5” with MaxTrac suspension, and in the front the bumpstops are touching, so I have 0 travel. My question is, how can I get suspension travel again? I was thinking of getting coil spring spacers to raise the front up a bit, or get DJM Lower control arms, which give it a 4” drop (but I think would space out bump stops). What would be the best option to get travel back? I have a 2001 XLT 2wd, so I cant do torsion bars. Pic added for inference.

The first question would be... what lowering kit did you use? Drop spindles shouldn't be effecting spring travel. If you used springs... get spindles. Your truck looks good, spacers are gonna give it a reverse rake.

Coil springs, a 3”/5” maxtrac. So shocks, springs up front, and flip kit in back. I should show a side pic, that there is a lot of camber in front.

Ditch the drop springs and go to spindles and it will fix both your travel issue and the camber problem...
