Bit of a cross post ... I buried this question in an existing thread on lift spring options.

I have read that the superlift ranger brackets drop 3” and the extra inch is torsion twist.

The Rough Country ranger lift is listed as 5” , I’m wondering if anyone has taken measurements of the actual drop without a TT.

It would really help so that I can sort out a matched lift for the rear.

I know I’m a little late to the party, stars have finally aligned I guess.

Here is a photo of the RC lift.You can see the front axles are not level so some torsion twist is included in the 5”

Review on the RC lift
 






Post in thread 'superlift part numbers'
superlift part numbers

In the part descriptions posted here Superlift lists the bump stop drop extensions as 3-1/2 an 3-1/4. So I think that confirms superlift ~3” without TT.

Now just need RC drop.

Also these part numbers of still active should allow you to order only the front of a ranger kit!
 






I have a superlift at the shop I can measure
You want to know the height of the front diff drop brackets and
the height of the front lower control arm drop brackets
3-1/2" sounds about correct, next time I am at the shop I will measure
 






Thanks! Yes I am looking for the drop distance of each kit, center to center of the bolts (head or holes).

I will measure that later today on the superlift I am working on
