leaf springs to coilovers?

[spaceboy]

waddup guys,

lookin for info on how to get the ass end of my ranger adjustable,

i want it to sit just right with some stretch/poke ya know the deal

what would be the best way to go to get my rear end to sit just right?

i feel like switching from leafs to coilovers would be a time consuming money hungry bitch?

any ideas?

btw being being im of total noob status round herr
if theres a better spot for this mods please relocate:]

thanks!

flip the axle on leaf springs for a cheaper low... or buy coils and mounting brackets... or buy a ford explorer rear axle...

Explorer axle will gain you 1.5'' inch wider. And about a 4'' drop because it sits over the leafs instead of under with the possibility of more if you get blocks/raised hangers and such, but notching will be necessary for anything over 5-6''. For it to bolt-on directly you will need 2 pass-side explorer u-bolts plates (for the right shock mounts)

If you really want coilovers(just to be adjustable height) you would have to go 4-link setup but this is time, money and experience consuming... You need to know what you're doing otherwise it will end up in junk.

Maybe just getting right brackets to put coilovers instead of shocks would do it, but drivibility would just suk.
