Hey everyone,

I bought a 1996 4x4 Ext. Cab Ranger and noticed that the front of the truck has the typical Ford 1/2 ton droop. Mine is down 2" compared to the rear(at the wheelwells).
Anyway I have seen the poly bushings in 4wheelparts catalog that go under the coil springs.
Has anyone used them yet? Also if you did was a frontend alignment required after the install.

On another note ;
Can anyone give me an idea what size tire I can run on this Ranger with out interference after the front is lifted? I was hoping to run 30x9.50Rx15s. Right now it has P235/75R/15s.
Thanks in advance!

Larry,
You got no replys yet.lol. I never heard much about those bushings but if you want something to go under your coil try this site. www.truckinsuspension.com I bought adjustable coil spacers from them and you can either lift your front end or lower it simply with a spanner wrench. Its as easy as that. Alot of problems with those bushings your talking about is that it might put to much lift on your front end giving you positive camber. Tires will look loke this. \-------/. My truck had negative camber/---\
So i added these and it straighten out my tires. Well worth the money and quick and easy adjustments.

 

Thanks for the info, but they don't have them for the Rangers. They only have for F150 or Expedition.
I found new coils at Rancho that come with alignment bushings. I think I'll go with them instead of putting in spacers.
Thanks for the help though!
