| Help! I need ideas I really don't want to lower my Ranger more than I have to, but I would like a smoother ride and possibly better handling. What all can I do to achieve this? In my opinion its already low enough (for me that is), but of course any bumps in the road shake the truck with a raging vengeance  Besides, if I get an engine swap next year I want some suspension work to make it perform better, ride smoother, and handle better. What all can I do, and what are some estimated prices for upgrades?     |

| Lower the back alittle(level the truck), change shocks(almost any shock is better than factory...good ones are Edelbrocks or Bilsteins-sp), put a larger sway bar up front and add one in the rear. Probably in the neighbor hood of $600......good thing is you can do them separately, start with lowering the back alittle and then follow with the others.

| Go for a 2/3 drop, it will give you a good stance and better handling.

| Re: Help! I need ideas It's a TRUCK. So it's always going to ride a bit rough. Either go for the 2/3" drop or just flip the rear. Then a good set of shocks. I went with the 2/3" drop and shocks, left the stock sway bar up front and none in the rear. Handling was greatly improved. But I didn't care for the ride. So I put it back to stock until I can afford to bag it. |
