I've been evaluating the notion of installing a leveling kit in my little Ranger. Unfortunately, there don't appear to by many photographic references specific to the current gen Ranger as to what CV axle/steering rack angles and CV boot distortion look like post install. So......I tried to simulate it at 1.5" and 2.0" of front-end lift with a tape measure and a floor jack placed under the Ranger's forward jack point. Here's what it looked like........

At 1.5" of lift/leveling:
