Hi ive heard you can put a lift on a ford ranger using f150 coil springs i have a 1988 ford ranger ext cab 2.9 v6 2wd i was just wondering if anyone can tell if this is possible with my truck and if something could give me great detail on how to do this i would appreciate it.
thank you hope to hear your ideas

What im planning on doing is completely swapping out the upper coil buckets from ranger buckets to F150 buckets so the coils properly seat. At the same time Im going to change my balljoints and install the 3 degree camber bushing that I will need. A "how to" will be in order I believe

Yes, 3 degree alignment bolts SHOULD fix it. I added everything up today though and its just cheaper to get 2 inch lift coils specifically for a ranger
