we've all seen stock Ranger 4x4's that some set higher in back and lower in front as well as level all the way around (high and low). I recently bought a 2004 Ranger (4th Ranger I've owned), 4x4, 4.0, a/t. it's my 1st Ranger with independent front suspension and has the factory 2inch blocks on rear differential, but sits lower in front. I want to bring the front end up level with the rear end. I checked out the torsion bar keys and the adjustments have plenty of threads left.

so .. my question is .. is there enough factory adjustment to accomplish this? or ..do I need to buy different torsion keys?

thank you in advance

There should be plenty of thread to be able to level the truck as you can level or lift a truck with these. I believe here is a thing in the tech archives about it too. I'll move this to the suspension forum too.

If it is setting at stock ride height in the front now, I suggest you not lift it more than about 1.5" with the T-bars. Anything more than that will get too near the limit of travel of the shocks resulting in a rough ride. It can also strain the suspension components and require more maintenance.
