Product Description

The MaxTrac 253030-4 is a pair of 3" front lowering coil springs designed specifically for the 1998-2009 Ford Ranger 2WD equipped with the 2.3L four-cylinder engine. Built from hot-wound steel and finished in MaxTrac's signature powder coat grey, these springs deliver a clean, aggressive drop while maintaining a comfortable, daily-drivable ride. The direct-fit design means no cutting, welding, or custom fabrication is needed - just remove the factory springs and install.

These springs are ideal for Ranger owners looking to improve the truck's stance and handling characteristics without sacrificing ride quality. By lowering the front 3 inches, the center of gravity is reduced, resulting in reduced body roll and a more planted feel on the road. A professional front-end alignment is required after installation to ensure proper tire wear and steering geometry.
