why run eibach with a spacer? you can already get 3" lift with the stock springs on their shocks. Also if you put a strut spacer on top of the eibach shocks, with their longer extended length I have a feeling you're gonna risk breaking a CV at full extension. and more than 3" lift on the front of a ranger you're gonna need to start looking at control arm relocation/ diff drop, etc...
if you have a shop you can take the springs/shocks to, that's the way to do it. the crappy hand spring compressor tools you can get at any store are a pain to use, and can also be kind of dangers if you don't get them on just right.
If you run the Eibach kit as referenced above you should be able to run the stock spring mount, the kit provided springs and shocks/strut cartridge and have about a 3.0in front lift. I believe they are bottom perch adjustable coilovers as well. ( but there is no need to ever change them for the vast majority of people's needs on and offroad. )
Besides the lift they are suppose to take the wallowy floaty feeling out of the front end and tighten up the truck as well. THIS IS ONLY WHAT I'VE READ/HEARD ON THE EIBACH KIT.
Now this kit takes a while longer to install and requires a spring compressor since you need to reuse the factory upper strut mount from your own truck. Makes each side a bit more of a hassle then a 8ish nut a side job literally ( not including alignment ).
Now my Fox Ford Performance Parts kit comes tomorrow and hopefully can go on within the next few days and by the end of next week at the latest. Then comes the hunt for tires ATM Im thinking 265/65/17 BFG AT K02s and the wheels already on my truck with a 1in spacer.
