hey, its been a LONG time since i posted on this site, but once again i have run into another situation. My ranger, 1994, single cab, is gettign on my nerves, horribly. I have what many call the "stink bug effect" where the tail end wits higher in the front. My question is, what can i do to level or lift that front end with out spending hundreds of bucks doing a suspension lift. Im talking like, "uderground, unknown" tweaks that you enthusiasts have discovered. I know about coil spacers but they only make a 1 3/4 inch spacer, and i would need like a 2 or a 2 1/2 inch. If you know a website where i can order these spaces inthat size for a reasonable ammount of cash, i would be forever in debt to you. I am very very very limited on the ammount of money i can spend, but this stink bug thing has gone far enough. If anyone knows where i can order oversized coils that would be a plus as well. Thanks for you help. Let the search begin!

i dont see where you have a 2wd or 4x4. if you have a 4wd simply remove your rear lift blocks. you can keep the same u-bolts if you want by torching off the snubber ears from the blocks, and put the blocks on top of the spring pack with the spring pack directly on the axle pads. i did this a year ago, but swiched it back due to a trailer hitch height issue.

i have a 4x2, the nice way of saying i have a cheap truck, haha, but i knew to swticht eh real axel with the leaf springs but that would give me a pre-runner look which would almost be on the ground. The tail end is fine, its the front i need to level with the back. I was thinking of putting on larger springs in the front with maybe a coil spacer as well, but i dont knwo if that will throw anything else.

ive seen longer coils in a j.c. whitney catolog that are ment to level out a truck, there are plastic spacers available also that will raise the front. both will affect alignment, i think some coil kits come with eccentric bushings for alignment correction.
