Belltech 2-3" drop in front depending on spacer and 5" djm flip in back with airshocks.....be ready to cut and chop some parts to be able to align the truck when you go that low...i made the control arm slots longer to adjust camber and had to saw some off the tie rod peices to adjust the in and out.

I was thinking of going with coils or struts for 1.5-2" in the front and 3" leaf in the rear with my shackles to give it a total of 5" of drop in the rear. Bad idea?

I also forgot i rolled the back fender to not catch my tire when flexing side to side any good shop can do it or you can rent a roller and do it too.

Sounds good i like your truck ha looks great...the air shocks for a same year ranger will fit on your truck because they dont make air shocks for 150s past 03 but i didnt know that so i made the 03s fit on mine but alot simpler to just get them for a ranger ha.
