So I have installed a 4" rough country suspension kit... it like the 3rd one I've done... does anyone else have an issue with the back being about 2.5" lower than the front?
every one ive done squats in back...
I have not yet aligned it but it's not bowed in much if at all due to camber....
On this build I'm planning to use a 2" leaf spring shackle lift... I'm curious if anyone else has this issue and/or if anyone has tried to fix it with a shackle lift...???
I'm also having a problem with my brake hoses being too short... suggestions short of buying $125 set of new longer hoses?

 

I know what you mean, I did my 01 and funny thing is I have 4 leafs in the rear and she rides a bit stiff back there. Not like any other ranger I ever sat in. Usually the ride is soft but it does squat and I don't think I'm not getting the full 5inches out of the rear. But the 33s don't rub nor any other issues except my cv axle makes noise on the driver's side where the CV axle gets pushed in a bit too far and the barrings bottom out in the CV axle housing and just grinds something fierce when the suspension dips at road speeds. I think I'll get those lift shackles for the rear and bring it up about a 1 1/2 and see what I can do about the CV axle up front. And as for the hose I used jeep stainless steel brake lines for a 4 inch lift and gave me all the stretch I wanted and more

 

Every Ranger I have touched has had near flat rear leaf springs. The springs sag pretty quickly, especially if you haul heavy loads often. That could have something to do with it.

 

I got in touch with rough country and they sent me reasonable compensation for those rear blocks.
The rear blocks were 3" with a 4" kit. Idk why.
I did put 3" shackles on the rear for the time being.
I'm gonna eventually take back off and install a 6" leaf spring.
My next project is...
Noticed a sucking sound from exhaust on one cylinder and a slight miss... now I have coolant coming out of exhaust... so I went on and bought 2 new heads and upper engine gasket kit with new head gaskets and head bolts. Wont this be fun!
Also the new bigger tires are giving that old clutch a fit so I have a new clutch, pressure plate, and fly wheel kit to go in there,
...And some new hub locks.
I converted the auto locks to manual but had no hub locks so I gutted the auto locks and put back on for dust covers till my new locks came.
