NEED LOWERING HELP

[LowCalypso]

My 1993 Ford Ranger has the DJM 3/4 drop installed with dream beams up front and flip kit in the rear. Still has too much fender gap for me. I’m running 18’s with a 275/40/18 all around I’m wanting to be atleast another 1” lower in the front and rear can I run a lowering spring with the dream beams up front and how can I get the rear lower any help is appreciated.

Maybe change your name to kind-a-LowCalypso

I have no answers... but I think it looks pretty sweet right where it is.

U can run lowering springs in the front. Some people just cut a coil off to get the Xtra 1" your looking for also.probably the cheapest way out up front.but remember the lower u go in the front the harder it will be to get an alignment that doesn't wear tires unevenly.and on the rear i think they offer 1" lowering shackles for rear just as long as frame still has plenty of travel left.if not you LL have to c notch frame and that's where it gets pricey if u don't do it yourself.hope this helps

Thank you, I thought about ordering a lowering shackle because the 4” djm flip kit utilizes the stock shackle, but I was told since I have the flip kit that adding a lowering shackle will actually raise it because the leafs are now below the rear end is that right?

Given the width of those wheels/tires & how far they now extend outward under the fender lip, you hit a large undulation in the road that causes the suspension to compress you run the risk of getting tire to fender contact.
I 2nd the opinion that the trucks profile looks great as it is.

yea I guess I didn’t really account for that
