I want my truck sitting bull dog
Right now my 2007 ford ranger sits lower in the front , I want it to be the same or a little bit taller in the front, people have said for me to get cool spacers 2" to level and 3" to make it sit taller in the front. Should I buy 3" spacers and if so what kind?

Install 3" lift spindles you will retain your ride comfort.

Not sure if your truck is the right one but do a search on here for torsion bars. I saw that you can tighten up the bolts and it will lift your front end. A lot of people have done that and they say you don't need new shocks all you have to do is get a new realignment. They said it could give you 1 1/2 to 2" lift on the front end. If you don't find it let me know and ill send you the link.
