I've never done it myself, but the only thing I can think of that comes to mind is making enough lift to clear the crossmember, as well as lowering the bumpstops so that the axle hits them before the crossmember on full compression. Apparently its a common swap on the half tons, never seen it on a ranger, might have width problems if your planning on being street legal.
