I just bought a 91 and it's already got the torsions done in the front with a 3" blocks in back and notched. I plan on bagging the back but not the front, SO any suggestions on lowering the front?? I was thinking spindles, lowering arms? Then I read up on flipping the ball joints? The splindles add length so I have run sixteens?? Also read about "shorter" shocks?? Either way I haven't had a mini for 8 years I'm a little out the loop. Any links or suggestions would be appreciated thanks.

i looked in to air suspension and just do not like the laid flat look and close to the ground looks of a air ride. just does not seem aggressive enough for me.i was thinking a 4 inch drop rear and a 2 inch coil for now in front on my 1994 ford ranger. the reason i am doing this is i would rather the flip kit but which i got but the hangers and shackles are plain rusted through on top.did not see this when i bought the flip kit so i should do those first. unless i go 4 link but that would mean air bags and i like to take my to the track once in a wile once i get it done. any ways should i use pinion shims for the drive shaft angle or not if i go 4 inch was not sure if there will be drive line vibration or not? when i go to do so any ways thanks for any replies.

I just bought a 2009 ranger xl and want to slam it but I really dont want to cut it up just yet as far as like a body drop. But I do want to drop it as much as possible and the DJM 4/5'' drop is all I can really find for the rangers, which is ok but I want to put air bags on just the rear and dont know really how to go about that, not sure were I can find the parts, if there is any kits or if it has to just be 100% fab.Or if its a good idea to have them on just the rear. Any suggestion?
