4x4 ranger
Welcome to the forum
How low do you want to go?
4x4 Rangers usually have lift blocks on each leaf spring in the back, these can be removed, you will need 4 shorter U-bolts
In the front you will need to shorten the coil springs, best way is to remove the springs and use shorter springs
There are Spring Clamps so you can compress current coil springs, but not best option
Any modification to front suspension will rewire a re-alignment
Easiest way is to get low profile tires, Rangers usually have at least 6" side wall tires, less sidewall = lower vehicle

Then just get lower profile tires
Most 4x4 Rangers used a 75% ratio sidewall tire, i.e. 235/75R15, so sidewall is 7" wide
I think 215/50R15 is an available size, thats a 4" sidewall so a 3" drop

No, the sidewall is 3" less on each, its 6" overall less diameter
i.e. 15" rim and 7" side walls would be 29" diameter, 15 + 7 + 7 = 29
15" rim and 4" sidewalls is 15 + 4 + 4 = 23
So 6" diameter change and that's a 3" drop
I get the confusion, usually we are talking about larger tires so 29" diameter to 33" is a 4" change but only a 2" lift

To achieve what?
1995 Ranger 4x4 uses front coil springs so you can do these 2WD lowering projects: https://www.therangerstation.com/tec...ion_drop.shtml
You can't used drop spindles or I-beams, but you use shorter coil springs and can flip the rear axle, so springs are under the axle

Yes, because of the Twin I beam 4x4 front.
And doing a 2" drop in the front, you might have a hard time finding a shop that can do an alignment.
