ok..i ordered a body lift from 4wheelparts, and it was the 159.99 one. i was informed that it should work even though its for up to 00. but wholesalemn informed me they have different part #'s than the ones he sells hmmmm

HELP????

 

maybe different brands?

it should be the same, the platform of the ranger hasnt changed much since 00

 

thats wat i was thinking...but the whole part about the dif. part #'s is scary...cause wat if im not getting something that is in the newer ones..

dam..i just wanted to save a buck...but now it looks like i made problems

 

you should be fine. i beleave the 00 bumpers use the same mounts in the front

 

im not worried about the mounts if that could be the prob. cause im loos'n that bump and putting on the one that $tone02 is mak'n me

i hope thats the only prob if any

 

i would have just bought the right one, but that is me.

 

I am with Zach. Stuff like this you buy what is for your truck, don't skimp out and have to buy more parts later.

Umm unless he is making it for a 3 in bodylifted truck that bumper is going to sit at the same spot it would on a regular truck. I sure hope you planned accordingly.

 

It snot that its a different brand because if you go to PA's website, they list different numbers.

I'm sure something might be different. It'll come up. Good Luck.

 

well i was told that someone with a newer truck put it on with zero problems..soooo i guess i'll see wat happens

and with the new bumper, yes i notified him about the lift

 

It's the same, its the one i used for my truck. Damn some people need to chill out. If it's the wrong one, **** take it to 4wheel parts and exchange the thing! It Fawkin works!

 

Wheres the risk and wheres the adventure?

 

hahah

but then there's hassle, frustration, angry masturbation, anxiety, and more $$$ to shell out...

i just use all ford parts everywhere i go...i just ask for a 00 ford ranger, every part matches me...

 

Talkin about hassle and frustration, cut your front suspension off then get back to me about that.

 

^^^ lol!

haha so true

thanks for all the mostly helpful info!

i guess just wish me luck...i have 0 time to put it in when it comes cause of work...but wholesaleMN said he could do it at his shop, so i think im gona hit him up on that

 

I'm looking to order a Kit too, but is there any logical reason that they have to seperate, yet Identical kits? Simply because they are diff. Generations? Newer=More expensive then? Also, I'm assuming so, but I have a Mazda trans in my '02 FX4? I'm sure I do, but want to make sure by the knowledgable people here! :)

 

ture but in my situation i need my truck the next day for work, and if i can get it done faster and no issues, but it cost me 50 more that is what ill do.

 

All manuals are mazda tranny's. I don't know why they are the same kit but different numbers and different prices. Since the 00' kit is working for the newer rangers go for it and save $50.

 

^^ thank you yes..thats why i chose too, cause it works...so i'll save the buck for gas

wish me luck though, it'll be in sometime next week
