Ranger rear shackle flip kits etc
Was thinking of possibly lowering the rear of my 92 Ranger.
Way back when I put a dropped front twin I beam conversion in it and its been fine all these years..I think Beltech??? So long ago I forget.
I'm running traditional metal rear leafs not the "fiber" or whatever mono leaf that came on the truck, and I'm looking at :
1989-2010 Ford Ranger Crown 3"-5" Rear Lowering Drop Kit Flip Kit Shackles--being sold by crownsuspension on eBay.
Anyone know anything about their products? Or have a good experience in some way lowering the rear.

I just did mine last month, the rear sat too high and looked dorky. I was going to buy a kit to lower the rear 2" but found doing google search to just flip the shackels and spring hangers. and it was free. here's before and afters.

Thanks .good info.
That's probably all I need. Don't need something extreme..just a couple inches will do.
As I mentioned my Ranger came with the mono fibre-like rear spring and I some years back swapped to a conventional steel leaf spring, and i notice it has what appears to be a single shorty spring beneath the other leafs..and it doesn't appear to be "wrapped" with the other leafs.
If I remove that too I'll probably get even more.
Just been lazy/busy etc. Have a list of other stuff, but I'll get to it.
