2wd trucks can get spindle lifts for the front and lift blocks for the rear, or shackles and an add a leaf.

Those are your only options bro!

I'd say do a spindle lift with belltech 6400 shackles for the rear. If you're lucky, clinton still has his for sale on here

Wherever we want to go, we'll go. That's what a truck is, you know. It's not just a frame and a cab and a bed and engine, that's what a truck needs but what a truck is... what the Ranger really is... is freedom.

Lmfao. I don't see how this helps at all Mac. This question has absolutely no relation to his... Hahahaha


The answer is no Illinois. I don't know how they can even manage to do that since the spacers usuall are cut to fit the springs.
