Hi Ryan I'm afraid I can't help you at the moment - TS's facet support isn't that complex, and I'm not sure if Ultrasphinx's is any better, for what you want. You're not the first to request ranged facets, so it's definitely on my radar, but I'm struggling to find time even to polish up the current facet code.
If you want to hack something together, that'd be fantastic. If you just need something to run with right now, then Solr might be the better option - I think it has ranged facet support.
