lift kit

I have a 94 ranger splash. Shes a 2wd with twin I-Beam front suspension. I was wondering if i could out a lift kit on her, nothing big just a small 2 in lift maybe, but I dont know if I would need drop down brackets or not. If anyone can help me out I would really appreciate your feedback.

If you just want two inches I'd just throw some spacers on the front and shackles on the rear. Some years the splash sat an inch lower front and rear than a standard model. Keep in mind that means if you get lift springs it will lift yours higher than normal. So like if you order two inch lift springs you should get about three inches.

Yeah. Just keep in mind if you're just gonna do 2"s in the back shackles are easier, better for your truck, and in most some cases cheaper.

Would I have to replace all four shackles or just the two rear ones?
