Hey guys,

I have 2011 Ranger sport extended cab 4x2. I will be getting some 18" Ford GT 500 rims soon. Just wondering if I should lower the truck or not? If yes how should I do it & how much? I am not looking for a slammed look but a 2/3 inch drop with the DJM kit sounds interesting.

Let me hear some opinions and show me some pics.

Thanks,

Rob.

 

Yes drop it a little bit. You will love the handling and the way it looks. I did a 2/3'' DJM drop here is a pic.

 

Definitely drop it!

That pic above is only a 2/3" drop? Looks lower!

 

You have a sport, so do you have Torsion Bars or Coil springs?

 

probly coils

 

It's a Sport though, I think it has torsion bars

 

it would be t-bars, so just flip your keys and leave the adjuster bolts out, then pull the rear block and flip the rear hanger and you've got yourself a 2/2 drop roughly for free less the cost of new grade 8 hardware for the rear!

 

Wouldn't that be a sh!tty ride? No adjuster keys,I mean? At least the guy has the newer keys. Thats a plus. I am not a fan of lowered trucks but there are some that can look good. Slammed is too much IMO. The right stance can make or break a truck. Maybe not take out the keys but at least de-crank em so you can get a feel on how low you wanna be.
There is a guy on here named Casper who lowered his 08+ truck. Looks ****! Search for his name and either send a PM or hope he sees this thread.

 

Nope wasn't me it was torchedranger

Sorry. I remembered a red reg cab....

 

07SilverBullett has the gt500'S with a 4/5 drop.. Search it. Looks sick

 

I looked under my truck the other day and I have the torsion bar setup in the front. How can lower it and not make the ride any worse? I only want a 2 inch drop in the front and 3 inch drop in the back.

Thanks,

Rob.
