Hi guys, Im having a suspension issue, I lifted my 1999 Ranger with 2 inch Coil Spring Spacers but it got very stiff, my question is, Is there any way to make it softer "stock-like" again?

Take the spacers out....
As far as what happened to your soft ride, when you put in the spring spacers it stops part of the spring from doing it's work, making it feel stiffer. Better would be to use the washer lift.
If you go to the top of any page there is a blue header bar, third button from the left is "Tech articles". Go to suspensions and look at what is in there.

EDIT; Perhaps post a pic to make sure we are talking about the same thing.

My credo
Trying to be a better Christian than non-christians.
Here's the trick I use:
Instead of placing the spacer in the spring, slice the rubber spacer across the center to make two donuts from one. Remove the spring and place one half above and the other half below the spring. The cupped sides face inward toward the spring of course.
