Leveling my truck

I have a 97 Ford Ranger and I want to lower the back of it about 2 or 2.5 inches to level it off and I was wondering what would be the easiest way to do it.The only ways I can find to do it are new leaf springs or new hangers.I know that hangers would be the cheapest way but what would be the easiest???And which one would I be pleased more with??? Please,let me know something so I will quit worrying over it and go ahead and do it,Thank You!

If yur truck is 4WD then there are 1.5 inch front leveling coils that will bring the front end up to match the rear end. They are from rough country. If it is 2WD I couldn't say.

you are better off using leveling coils on the front then trying to lower the back. Leveling coils for 2wd can be had at www.fabtechmotorsports.com or any other company that sells lift kits.

Have you thought about adjusting the torsion bars? It's easy cost free and will level your truck. It takes about thirty minutes and all you need is a ratchet, socket, and a jack. If you want to know how just e-mail me at MuskratNSoCal(No Email Addresses In Posts!).
