Help

I installed a drop kit on my ranger everything on the rear worked just fine but the front didn’t lower AT ALL!!!!!
did I do something wrong?? I replaced the upper control arms changed out to adjustable camber bolts new lower ball joints and sway bar end links using moog problem solver products then the djm coils and shocks got everything done then when I put it back on the ground it still sits as it was before doing any work. I don’t understand any advice or opinions welcomed. Thanks

Start and finish hight

First guess, your 15 year old front springs had softened up over the years, causing the front end to sit lower then it did when new, in your case, approximately 2".

With your new 2" lowering springs, it now sits 2" lower than it did when new, but the same as it did with your 15 year old springs.

The rear of your truck is now probably 4 or 5" lower then when it was new.
