Ford Ranger Sport 2006 Slam
I want to slam my 06 ford ranger sport. Problem tho it has front torsion bars and not coils. it will be my first big mod on the truck unless i wait. and i really want this to get done. Can u guys explain to me how to do it or suggest how too. Also can u please point out parts i may need. Tools, time and money are not a problem, i have a full shop to work on it all. Please help me out.

Bought the WRONG truck to slam....
Here's the cure.....
Honestly, you can get the truck to about the height of a 2/2 lowered coilspring truck up front. Lowering keys or '08+ keys will get you about a 2" drop up front. Or going coil-over to handle awesome and pinching lower arm and correcting for a good balljoint angle and custom uppers. 2" or so is about it as far as lowering a torsion bar truck. That's it without major work. Major work like Z-ing the frame, running custom engine x-member and custom a-arms and coil-overs.

you bumped a year old thread. i might be doing the prekey mod this weekend and if i do i'll sell the older "lower your truck ones to you" if you want them.
mike, steelfrog liked the look, the OP wanted to lower along with the above guy.
