Has anyone tried or looked into doing this? What problems have you run into. Having the front end looked at already, the sway bars will have to go due to location. Any input will be appreciated.

I know there's at least a couple who have lowered their Ranger, haven't seen bagged yet. Probably a good reason. ?

Which is the reason for my question. What problems have been encountered? I dont care about your "wants" on this subject. Im just trying to use the experiences of the collective to increase my knowledge. If i end up being the trendsetter and doing the learning for anyone else to use then so be it.

This guy has done it:
Lowering a Ranger | 2019+ Ford Ranger and Raptor Forum (5th Generation) - Ranger5G.com

And here's another:
Anybody planning to lower their 2019 Ranger? | 2019+ Ford Ranger and Raptor Forum (5th Generation) - Ranger5G.com

Another lowered Ranger! | 2019+ Ford Ranger and Raptor Forum (5th Generation) - Ranger5G.com

Seems like Belltech makes a kit. The biggest problem is the way the Ranger rear end is designed,
I think it takes and axle flip to lower it.

User Lowerdon33s did it too.

I'd post more links, but as you may already know, searching this site sucks hard.

Sorry, wasn't trying to be negative, just thought it was funny.

Thanks, ive seen several static drops on these trucks. I like the look better than stock but wanting my frame to lay when completed.

What's 'static drops' and 'frame lay'?

A static drop is lowering the vehicle however many inches and it stays there. Basically 90% of what you see on the road. Laying frame... just as it sounds, your frame is on the ground. Its a much more indepth lowering requiring usually airbags to raise the vehicle back up to drive.
