what type of a lowering kit
 
I have a 96 Ranger XLT and i wanna lower it but i don't know what kind of kit is a good one or not. I've heard good /bad things about most but i just don't knwo what to do.

personally I wouldnt waste my time with just lowering it just go straight to baging it but thats my view on lowering.

Baging it costs to much money and I heard that the ride sucks. And theres alot of maintance you have to worry about

well a have a few friends that have baged trucks and they have all lowered there rangers first as in a 2/3 then they put a 4/5 because its not low enough...then like 4 months later they end up baggin it to get the drop they want so yes in the long run with lowering people its easier to just go to bags IMO...and i have riddin in them if you get the PSI right it rides like a caddy...

into order to bag an ibeam ranger, an have it lay out in the front, you still need to buy 3inch drop beams, getting new coils is up to you cause if you bag it, you dont have coils anymore

also to bag an i-beam ranger you NEED the lowered i-beams because the lower bag bracket must be welded to it. that pretty mcuh goes taht if you want to bag your truck you must lower if first. best bet is stylinconcepts.com for a kit

Go with a 3/4 kit. If you want to bag it later on do that. The 3/4 kit will get you set whether or not you want to bag it in the future.
