The front struts are adjustable from zero to 2.8 inches of drop. You will be able to achieve several heights in the front. If you download the install instructions, you will find out all you need to know about what amount of lowering is possible with the strut kit. They have developed a very simple and clever method of height adjustment. I have the struts and they are extremely well built.This kit raises a lot of questions not answered on the website or install manual.
With a 4" drop, will the front now be higher than the rear?? Just the opposite of what we have now... and look as goofy as can be.
Yes, there is a 2" front / 4" rear drop kit, which is good, so in theory we're back to level but lower??
The 2" drop up front is achieved by moving the bottom of the spring mount farther down the strut... me thinks. OK, what does that do the geometry of the 4WD axle shafts?? (if anything).
How does this effect towing capabilities (just towed for the first time in the Gen 5 Ranger last week... worked perfectly... don't want to jinks it).
I am looking forward to seeing JCruz's install. Not sure I want to lower the front as well but could be an acceptable option if everything else are non-issues.
