I'm a Ranger noob with a 2003 Edge. As most of you know, way back then Ford raised the ride height on that model using a "lift block" or a spacer on either end of the rear axle. Maybe the designers thought this would make this particular model look rough and ready for off road wanderings. The trouble is that I have a 373 one wheel wonder, no limited slip. I've never taken it off road and probably never will. I do have somewhat larger tires, but nothing special.
Wouldn't this particular model handle better if it were lowered, say,1 inch? Or would there be no real gain? And if there is, can I just buy shorter lift blocks without spending a couple hundred on those kits which include, new shocks, etc? I would imagine I could just crank down the front end and reset the camber.
Anyone ever try this?
