I lowered my 2021 4wd ranger 5"

I think @RANGER PRIDE is in the St. Catharines/Niagara Falls area these days. Not that I’m stalking him or anything like that. Maybe, if he sees this mysterious lowered unicorn around town, he’ll snap a few pics and post them.

Also, the OP’s not far from me, so I could take a quick drive around to the other side of the lake and hunt it down if necessary.

Hmmm, I guess Wabbit Season is cwosed.

OK, so I took pics of my lowered ford ranger (2021 , I lowered it 11 months ago). I used the Belltech kit. With the rear lowered 5" and 3 guys plus me
and a 350# motorcycle in the box, the leaf springs were not on the "helper" pads, so that is great.
Now the front is 2.75" lower bur like I said it rides to harsh alway hitting bottom on severe bumps........So I removed the Belltech 5/8" thick top pads
from the top of the shock body, this improved the ride but not enough.
My next step is to purchase new 600inch/pound springs and much shorter bodied shocks so I end up with more spring travel and still maintain my
lowered ride height. 5 pics....

I bought the Beltech lowering kit. I flipped the rear axel/spring and used the shackles to lower 5". At the front I used the supplied shocks
to lower it 2 3/4". All this lowering makes the truck look fantastic and level........BUT ! after 9 months of use I have to report that the truck rides very hard! The "Sport" shocks that Bell tech supplies seem way too hard for road use! Both front and rear seem like that their is not enough travel in the suspension now. It is like the truck bottoms-out on the shortened yellow rubber cushions that Bell tech supplies.
The truck corners much better now, but I think I would like softer shocks. Bell Tech has not been helpful on this installation.

Kil me now.

Almost two months later. Shouldn't there be an infraction for that?

The Belltech kit uses replacement struts on the front or replacement coilovers. Could put the stock absorbers on the rear but I think it would be a bit unbalanced with a tight front and soft rear.

Tight Front and soft rear sounds good...
