I run the OME HD Nitrocharger up front and the SD in the rear. I also have Icon leaf springs. Its a dream to drive.

Although the truck they have in the photo is on BP-51s, which is a significantly more expensive kit.

LOL

This is nothing new at all. I dont remember where it 8s but I know I have a extensive review for the Old Man EMU Suspension for the Ranger on here.

I even have it on my 1993 Pathfinder. Definitely like it to say the least

What for exactly? They should only be used on the light kit if running a Bumper or winch. Other then that they are not needed what so ever..... That said I might still have mine and i will.fine out in a few weeks.

The heavy kit, which advertises a 2.5 inch lift, is actually only spec'd for a 2.36 inch lift. The 5mm spacer is to fine-tune it to a true 2.5 inch lift. OK4WD sells them for $15.75 a piece. My front sits hella low with all the weight (even with the HD kit) so I'm grabbing the spacers for that tiny bit extra clearance.

It's advertised as a 2.5 kit just because of how much the lift is. If I recall it's roughly 2.4 in of lift up front and 1.6 in of lift in the rear. With a heavy kit that's supposed to be lift height with weight added. Mind you that weight is considered okay with an ARB bumper and a warn winch. A different bumper or winch will most likely change those results depending on the weight

In case you missed it elsewhere in the form here is my 2019 Ranger with the light kit and no extra weight added. If you pay attention to the amount of rake it's actually quite normal for that kit.
