ok boys and girls I am having an interesting time just trying to find a good set of 2" lowering coils for my splash all i want is like 1-2" lower in the front and about 2-3" in the back thats all no more no less.

now i have seen the DJM lowering kit for the 89-97 rangers here http://www.djmsuspension.com/Product...angerParts.htm

but that has new I-beams and all this crap and its a 3-4 drop that is WAY to much drop then i want I live in mich and that would be horrible around here.

now if any one knows of a GOOD place to find this stuff i am trying to locate please let me know thanks

 

well if you get 2" drop coils for the front then it will only drop you 1" because your truck is already 1" lower than a regular ranger in the front and i belive 1 or 2" lower in the back. So 2" drop coils in the front. Then in the rear you could either do a hanger flip (2-3") or a flip kit(6") and then lifting shackles(3" total drop). The hanger flip is real cheap, but the flip kit isnt much more and the trucks seem to handle better when the axle is above the spring pack in my experince. Plus doing a hanger flip is a pita in my experinces. ask away with your questions i researched lowering ALOT when i had my first truck and when i was being stupid and lowered my truck.

 

ok

2inch drop coils will drop you 2inchs, but it will only look like 1 more inch

you already have 1inch drop coils and 1inch drop leafs on the splash

 

thanks scott for clearin that up because thats exactly what i ment.

 

I am well aware of this...I am LOOKING for a good place to buy 2" drop coils...

so where do i get the hanger flip? i do not want the hanger kit they sell in DJM thats just WAYYYY to much drop then what i want. let me get this straight...do i just flip the rear hangers and then add the 2" chevy shackels?

 

no buying the hanger flip. the hanger flip consists of griding off and punching out the rivits that hold your current rear leaf hangers on and then bolting them back on upside down (with the stock shackles any other ones wont work) with grade 8 bolts. This will give you 2-3" of rear drop (closer to 2). The flip kit flips your axle so its above the leaf pack instead of below it and then that will give you 5-6" of drop. then using the chevy shackles it will lift you up 2" giving you about 3-4" of drop.

 

oh hell so just flip the stockers and rebolt them up not a freaking problem because i need to replace a hanger because its cracked LOL. that will take all of like 3 hours sweetness.


now i just need the front coils. i cant find a good place to buy them

 

http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...=egnsearch.asp summit racing has them the belltech ones fit your app and lower 2 inches

 

HOLY crap now i feel like a moron i didnt even think to check summit LOLOLOLOL..............

 

np zach i gotcha. i spent many a days searching for lowering stuff. i need to do what you did and get a lil cheapo to lower because i cant stand having only a lowered truck.

 

oh dear i wonder what this means lol

 

thanks alot man

 

LETS DO IT!!

 

lol...

 

Zach, I told you what to do man...to do it right. It's more work, but I believe it'll be a higher quality and better ride and even possibly more dependable using what I am doing.

Stock XLT Coils
Stock XLT Leafs
DJM 3" Beams
DJM Flip-Kit
Lifting Shackles

That will drop my Splash about 3" in the front, and 4" in the rear -- just what you are looking for. The reason is that I am lifting my truck 1" before dropping, getting rid of that 1" drop from Ford so I don't get a 4/5.

 

i just talked to D...the DJM flip kit is a BADDDD idea with a 5.0L he has personally experiance....i did read what you wrote adam. but i am not looking for a WONDERFUL ride i am looking for cheap. this is a toy not a DD...its made to go fast thats it. if anything i might get stock XLT leafs because i have a feeling with the flip of the hanger it will drop it more then i want

 

im with stupid ^

 

Hey Zach that aught to look sweet!!!! good luck on droping that thing!
