Hey guys, I jsut picked up a 97 ranger. Its a 4x4 and its alright for what i got it for. The problem is it sits like 3 inches higher in the rear than the front. How do i get the front to raise up , without buying a whole lift kit. What do I need and is it easy.

is it torsion bars (probably) or coil spring front?

surfguy900

its coil springs up front..

You may be able to find spacers for that year.

Or you can find a stock rear spring pack and install that.

the rear does not have springs ... and what kind of spacers like the rubber grommet type things

but you gotta watch and make sure ya ain't gonna over extend the front end and need longer shocks and possible drop down brackets for the ifs

Hey if I order those coil springs in the first link, would they over extend it . Its only 1.5 -2 inch lift. And are they hard to install or is it jsut like lowering springs with a spring compressor and that routine

ChevyMudtruck

idk on ur truck as far as that goes . . if ya check into what comes with a 2 inch lift ya could probably tell . . . . and yeah probably take the shock off and spring compressor and old ones out new ones in . . . would have to look at it defently to tell ya on that one . . but yeah ya gotta do some research

F 150 spacers are what you want. I would go to the rangerstation.com or explorerforum.com use the on-site search function and you will find more info than you care to read.

Hey guys thanks.... And does that mean the 150 springs would fit my truck, Which would give it a a raise cause thsoe are stiffer, bigger.
