I had saggy springs on my explorer and i was reading about people puting them on rangers so i figured it would work on an explorer. The only thing is i had to make boomerang shackles cause a straight shackle would hit the crossmember.the shackels are not finished yet had to get it moble

it didnt give me much lift maybe an half inch over factory spring i did measure from wheel to wheelwell and it was 33 inches...so if someone knows what a ranger with 6 inch lift has mabe they post....Now for the hangers they look like there not straight but the frame starts to go inward right where the hanger is you can see it in the pic...let me know what you guys think...

couldn't you just move the stock front brackets forward?

i dont think you could the frame starts to curve in right before the hanger so it was alot easier to just make new hangers and weld them on.
