Kinda silly they would offer a 3.5” option and not advise that UCA are needed. ‍:facepalm:

According to the instructions for the Pro Kit (which is poor and none specific to Ranger), they recommend using the lowest ring which would provide 3" lift or second ring providing 3.5" lift. The fourth and fifth if a no go with Eibach spring and would damage the suspension. I'm going with 3".
Interesting based off product description it said 2.0-3.0” lift.

Not at this time...maybe in the future if I see a need.

Just got my first quote and WOW! $600+ for installation of the suspension kit:facepalm:

Looks like I may have to do this in my garage...wish me luck...

After a long day of cursing with everything going wrong from spring compressor failing, getting another replacement, drive shafts popping out, struggling to get them back in, the deed was finally done...:whew::like:

Love it! Just the right amount of lift. How's the ride and handling?

Also, it seems like everyone is having issues with driveshafts popping out - any tips to prevent this?

Super smooth...haven’t got the matching rear eibachs on yet but thatll certainly make it even smoother

Awesome. my kit will be here Wednesday and I went with the rear blocks. I was wondering about that 3.5" height I saw in the instructions they emailed me. I'll leave mine at 3" for now once I get them mounted and watch the UCA's for wear and may replace them if the need arises. $700 for a aftermarket set can wait.
