Is there such a thing for my Ranger? I would just do a T-bar twist but no T-bars on this Ranger. Any suggestions.

 

sorry....I put this in the wrong place, if a mod would like to move it for me that'd be great..

 

If you have coils, you could get coil spacers

 

Done.

 

explorer leaves and spindle lift

 

Yep. Pretty much the way to go. Its not cheap, but when you start talking about lifts $400 is ALOT cheaper than $4000.


And now its time to ***** my truck... comes out looking like this if you run 32's...

 

just get the explorer leaves re-arched to ranger specs

i got 2 new leaves in my explorer leaf pack

they rebuilt them to haul 1280 pounds in the box

 

Okay! Have been trying to find a way to do this to my 01 2wd xlt, could you please elaborate a little more, will their be anymore parts to get? exactly what do i need? and do i need any alteration to the donor explorer parts? thanks

so did you do the above or a combination of things to get that lift? by the way its perfect

Please explain when you say having the leaves re-arched? thanks

 

re-arched means he just got the leafs bent to make his truck sit a little higher

 

so how and where do you get them bent? is it necessary?

 

the ranger and explorer have different spring eye to eye measurements

i simply had #2 and #3 old leaves removed and new 2 heavier duty leaves installed

it is now a 4 leaf pack with additional over loader leaf

i had the explorer leaves re-arched to ranger eye to eye measurements

so i do not need chevy shackles to lift the rear-end

still waiting on my main eye poly urethane bushings to arrive

then i can have them installed

( any good quality spring shop can do them for you )

 

That picture I posted is a spindle and expo leaves with 32's.

 

Are both from a exp?, and what yr expo, does it matter? so are you saying just swap it out, its that simple? thanks

 

3 different explorers i looked had 3 different width`s of rear springs

you need a set that are 2.5 inches wide

more than likely , the springs have sagged on those explorers

so it would be advisable to have them re-arched at a truck spring shop

have them re-arched to ranger EYE to EYE measurements

mine were re-done to support 1280 pounds of weight in the box

do your self a favour and purchase a set of poly urethane bushings for those springs

you will be glad that you did go urethane

 

thanks man is their a place i can get the spindles? thanks again for your quick replies.

 

Either from Fabtech or Doestch.

 

good luck finding a fabtech lift spindle
