2011 4x4 4" lift???

Hey, I was wondering if anyone could help me find a lift kit for my 2011 ford ranger XLT 4x4 4.0l V6, I'm looking for a really well built suspension lift kit around 4 inches max. I'm not worried about thorwing down some big bucks, I just want to make sure I buy a kit that has everything I will need (seeing how this turck is my daily driver) I can't find much online for a 2011. If you guys could post some links if you happen to know any that would be great!

There's only one. Superlift.

However IMO its a waste of money.
Better off with a SAS if you actually plan on offroading, and if you don't, a body lift is much cheaper and will let you run bigger tires.

the superlift one says its only up to 2010, do you think that matters?
I would love to do some actual offroading, but its more for work. I would cut my arm off before i did a body lift!

I just talked to Superlift, and they said that the kit won't work with my model. he said that The traction control being missed up will shut down the vehicle and it won’t be able to drive. Has anyone actually tried this?

Can you elaborate on how the traction control will be messed up?

Pull your wheel off and take pics of the knuckle. Any wires going in/out. The 2011 i saw was running the advancetrac system off the abs pulse thingy which goes into the unit bearing and is in no way affected by the knuckle. But before i call superlift ignorant I want to make sure yours is the same. Im willing to bet they never even tried... its like readylift saying their torsion keys need a shock spacer.. wrong
