Urethane bushings
Anybody know if/where I can find urethane bushings for a 2008 ranger with coils? It would be nice to upgrade.

You might want to ride in a car or truck that has them installed first before you commit. I know from first hand experience because I installed a whole kit on a 67' mustang that I had setup for road racing but was also my daily driver and I can tell you they will loosen your fillings, not practical on the street. It will feel like your driving a GoKart. The Ranger already has a really stiff suspension already, at least mine does but I have the factory Tow Package ,I couldn't imagine what the ride quality would be with urethane bushings.

Yea that's what I thought but I've never ridden in one, is it really that bad? It was just a thought I had today so it's nothing I'm dead set on doing.

The DJM control arms come with polyurethane bushings as well as the sway bar end links they ride fine to me nice and tight

I planned on getting the djm arms after my 2/3 drop so I might not bother.

This is a link to a Mustang forum, you might want to read their posting on this subject, It describes my experience with them exactly.
And they Squeak no matter how much you lube with Teflon grease and you'll start to notice a lot rattles developing...

Personally on my old foxbody it did ride stiffer I personally liked it and yes they squeaked a little. On the ranger I have no squeaks or rattles and IMO rides pretty good for being as low as mine is. It is very tight and responsive with extremely little body roll

That's what I want is to improve the handling and responsiveness and my rubber bushings are starting to go so I figured I'd look into upgrading. Ill probably just regrease them for now and wait til I'm dropped. I've been thinking of getting hellwig sway bars too and now I'm wondering if those come with them too.
