Hey guys, I am a little new to the Ford Rangers, and so as I was looking at the front of my truck and doing a little research on the internet and in my chilton manual I found out that my 2000 Ford Ranger doesnt have Coil Springs or struts or coil over shocks in the front. So I was wondering what does it have and is there a way in replacing it?

 

you have torson bar susp.. you can swap in stiffer bars to keep the truck level.. now some where on here their was a company thats going to start makeing coil kits for the ranger as soon as they get the bugs worked out

 

ok, thanks for the info, hopefully they come out with it quick for I heard that if you put a lift kit on it that it causes some strain on the bar and it doesnt give you a good ride

 

Torsion bars aren't going to give you a good ride anyway even if they aren't lifted. Also, the lift kit (depending on brand of course) doesn't really put any additional strain on the t-bars beyond just the added stress of bigger tires / more weight up front. I think most of them just use a drop bracket for the t-bars so they remain essentially the same. The added stress will affect things like driveshaft / ball-joints, etc.

 

Oo, ok. Now then is it easier to put on a lift kit on to a coil over shock suspension? For I have been meaning to put on a 3in lift kit on mine

 

What kind of lift?

 

I was thinking of doing of doing a 3 to 5inch suspension lift depending on the price
