F150 and fullsize bronco coils are to heavy to run a ranger. You should look into EB coils like you said or XJ/ZJ/TJ coils if you want something that rides even remotely comfurtably. As for lift it depends on were you mount you coil buckets the further down on the frame the coil bucket is the shorter the coil you can run. Hence why I am only running a 3" XJ/ZJ lift coil.

What size tire were you looking at again?

I've decided on 8 to 10 suspension lift. I want to run Eb springs bc they are softer . So I should get a 5.5 inch or 6 inch Eb coil ? That should give me 8 right?

Okay rear shock mounts are cut off and my welder is on his way here shortly to get this in with me. Ill post a few pics just as soon as I can

Decided on 5.5 inch EB coils . I'm ordering them now. Do i need to change the spring retainers on the Dana axle to hold the eb springs ?

----------

And what are you guys doing about the driver side spring bucket ?

Rear is in, currently with blocks because I don't know how much my front end will give me

What's a good shackle to use to give more then 1 1/2 lift but not give me excessive rear sway?

I don't much see a point in arching I've called several shops in town and they all say the springs will eventually sag back down to stock so not to wait my money , however since I don't haul anything in the bed and I only tow a jet ski with this truck maby it will work

----------

Also . Even with the small tires my truck is sitting high in the rear so I'm thinking I can get away with removing one of those blocks and get it to sit where I need it. Worst case I go get a beltech shackle

2004xlmiller · #26 02-26-2013, 02:40 PM

sounds like they just didnt or couldnt do the work. you have springs rearched 12in and they will not go back to stock.

I didn't think they would but
Two of these shops are the biggest truck and bud repair shops in this state and normally don't mind doing work for us little guys . Anyway I just bought these leafs so I most certainly ain't gonna replace them with new ones lol
