Don't bag it, a static drop is far more driveable.

My friend Zeke and I lowered my truck 4"...got it done in about 5 hours with air tools and even did the alignment.

Before:



After:



The new wheels and the lowering job make it look 100 times better, your truck would look good with a 4" drop and still ride fairly well.

Belltech if you have the $$$, if not, go DJM.

Is the front of the ranger coil springs or does it have torsion bars?

You need to go on a few Ranger only boards or a low truck site and ask people who've actually done it.

I don't think they would rub but it would suck if you dropped it and they did.
