but anyways, the edge has the same suspention as a 4wd (t-bar based). An easy way to get a quick drop is take out the lift block in the rear and un crank the t-bars in the front. You are going to have to take out the bump stops though

Crank the tosion bars down and flip the hangers in the rear, and take out the factory block in the back, and that will be the same as a 3/4 drop or so from stock.
$10 for bolts for the hangers.
you can also flip the keys and get a flip kit for a 5/6 drop. But I have heard rumors of flipping the keys being unsafe.
$50, 40 for the flip kit, $10 for misc. bolts to flip the keys.
the last, and most expensive option is coil-overs. $$$$ for a safe 5/6 or more drop.
could be from $800-1500 depending on how low, and what products.
to give you an idea, for the back of your truck any option for lowering the back of any yr ranger will work, but the front is a 98+ 4x4 style suspension and there really arent any products out there for lowering those.
