Mornin',
I have a 2010 XLT 2.3. Right now, the truck has air springs in the back from the previous owner, and I just put OEM 4x4 shocks on in the rear. Front is still stock. It has a pretty noticeable cowboy truck rake that would look good on a '72 F-100 but is a bit much on the Ranger. I've parked next to the lowered 2010-11 4x4 XLTs and, with my 235/75r15 tires, it actually sits at pretty much the same height, but I'd like to level it out a little by bringing the front up. Looked at some pics of 2008-9 trucks and this is basically the stance I'm after (not my truck).
I've done some research; I guess I wasn't aware of the issues with the Roll Stability Control, but it looks like spindle lifts are out for me. Not interested in a body lift or coil spacers.
Maxtrac makes a 2" coil spring set specifically for the 2.3 Ranger, so I think that's what I'm going with. I talked to Maxtrac, communication and customer service was excellent. They assured me the coils would work with my stock UCAs and align without problems. They were unable to verify 100% that I wouldn't have issues with the RSC, though, just because they hadn't specifically tested them on a newer truck. Anyone else run these on a 2010-11? Seems like it's mostly the spindle lifts where I've read about people running into issues, but if anyone can verify one way or another that I'll be good, that'd be awesome. Otherwise I'll give these a shot and report back.
These are the springs in question.
