Default lift ?

i rember seeing something about "basterd packs" but i put it in the search and no results. any way i was wondering if you can do this with ranger rear leafs.
i also saw a DYI on a different site that said you can add 2 or 3 inches on the front by puting f150 coils on,

in case anybody is wondering i work for a ford shop so thies would be super cheap.

any help wit the basterd pack would be cool

Usually, bastard packs use leaves from s-10s or dakotas. I've never heard about ranger leaves. It would just depend on the width of the leaf itself and the arch of it also.

As for the F 1-50 coils, they will give you a little lift, but keep in mind those are very heavy trucks and will ride VERY stiff.

S-10, Dakota, or Another XJ for the bastard packs.

Front, you could use the F-150 coils but they are prone to a stiffer (rougher) ride.
You could however use Grand Cherokee coils. Will give an extra 1" of lift while retaining the "Cherokee" ride.


A good read:

You will get near to 3" from the f!50 springs and a somewhat stiffer ride. The problem with the ranger leaves is they are the wrong width. The S10/Dakots leaves are around $40 a set in the J/Y so not a lot of money. The most will be spent on new shocks. I like the Monroes with a Budget Boost.

To get 1" from ZJ coils it has to be a V8, and again, it will be stiffer.
