Anybody planning to lower their 2019 ranger?
Sponsored
If i end up in one I probably will. And if it drives as well as I hope I'll be in one very soon. I won't drop it a lot but just enough to bring it back to a normal midsize truck height. Maybe one inch on the front and two to three on the rear.Anybody planning to lower their 2019 ranger?

It did look like the rear suspension is axle over spring so it should be a very easy drop block mod for the rear. Just hoping someone comes up with a spring for the front and maybe some shocks/struts with better control to compensate for the drop.
I use my truck for work but being able to improve it's handling and function are helpful to me. A two or three inch drop on the rear does wonders when you have to load things often and being able to brake and corner as well as the average sedan is a huge plus.
The alignment helps also. I have my current Dakota set with a street focused alignment. Zero toe, about 3/4 degrees negative camber and almost 7 degrees caster. With a 1-3 drop, rear swaybar and 285-50r20 tires it actually handles better than you think it should.
Yep, liked the stance of the one I had.......My 2001 Ranger is an Edge 2WD It sets higher than most of its contemporaries,
so the ride height on the new one feels about right.
I'm Sure it would be fun though,and you can bet there will be a bunch of aftermarket stuff real soon.
