Any news yet on a lowering kit? I keep searching foreign markets too and just don't see anything.

I have a guy here who lbs looking but the rear shackles present a problem, plus the exhaust would need to be re- routed....I’m just going to wait until someone comes out with a 4 link kit...then I’ll do a 4x6 “ drop...
Regards

It looks tight. Is there enough room between the axle tube and the frame for a 6" drop and still have some clearance for movement?

I was looking at more pictures of the rear and worried it might have to be notched or use an IRS for anything more than 2-3 inch drop.

And oddly enough, half the stock photos Ford publishes of the Ranger look edited to make it look like it has been lowered in the rear to level it out. Even they seem to know how it should have been delivered.

I just want to lower mine enough so it looks like it does in the Ford pictures, not like it does in real life.

Thinking 500 to 750lbs of sand bags might do it

If they had a rear shackle kit on the market I would of already bought my set. Can’t wait to lower this thing a bit.

Looking at the rear spring and rear end a shackle kit won’t work.
It would have to be a new spring for a mild lowering or under axel for what looks like what’s in the above picture.

IMO.
