Street Truck
So after a long debate i think i am going to turn my 88 stx in to a street machine eventually dropping in a 302. However, i would like to get my truck down possibly 2 inches. Ive searched all previous threads on 4x4 lowering kits but still am not sure... Will i be able to drop it and What parts will i need for the drop?

well.....only certain year STX's had the factory lift.....they were called "High Rider editions".......they were only on a Ranger STX up till '92......when they switched body style in '93, they did away with the factory lift.........
you could even get a STX in a 2wd version that was nothing but decals in '94 i believe........
FYI: if you are going to try and lower a 4x4, it would be cheaper to buy a different, 2wd Ranger and do it to the 2wd........your limiting factor on how low you can go with a TTB 4wd Ranger is the axle itself.....you would be LUCKY to get 2" lower than stock......the 2wd and 4wd Rangers have the same springs.....the height difference in a 2wd and a 4wd is the front axle beams...........
you MIGHT be able to get 2wd lowering springs, and then get 2wd drop brackets for the TTB.....but i dont know if the drop brackets will fit on the TTB..........

ummmmm any lift for a 4x4 Ranger made for '97 and before will fit....mine is an STX and i have a SUperlift........even the STX's with the High Rider option, the aftermarket lifts will fit...........
if a lift kits say "Will not fit STX models", they are full of ****....the STX has the exact same suspension as the rest of the '97 and older Rangers....
