lift..suggestions?
I own a 2001 2wd ranger edge, i know my name is 2002 ranger but i my grandparents who bought the truck for me just sent me the manual..
Anyways, i'm new into offroading, and rangers in general, but i'm planning on purchasing a lift.

there's the link to the lift i've been looking at, it's towards the bottom of the page you'll see the it's a 98-02 3 inch lift. i'm just wondering if that's all i'll be needing, plus what a good size tired would be to run without rubbing, and not killing my gas mileage..any suggestions on good m/t's?

something tells me thats not for the edges see regular 2wd trucks are coil spring and edges are t-bar suspension. different spindles. some of the 2wd edge guys will chime in on where to buy spindles. but what you want is 3.5" front lift spindles and a ADD-A-LEAF and lift shackel for the rear.
then run a 33x12.5x15 on eather 15x8 wheels or 15x10 really doesnt matter

Here is where I bought mine. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FORD-...mZ220043160900
I am satisfied with it so far. This kit comes with 3 inch lift spindles and a 2 inch block for the rear but you would be better off running a 2 inch add a leaf instead.

Yea that is all you should need I have those same spindles with 4inc blocks in the rear and alot of people dont like to run blocks but I have traction bars to help with axle wrap caused from blocks. But if you get the add a leafs you should be fine. Here are some pics with my lift and 33x12.50x15 maxxis mudders.
the last picture was when i had the lift with my stock rims and 31's.

blocks are horrible you can leave the stock blocks but just add these in...
if you use the search feature on this thread you will find tons of topics on this if you want more info or just go in the suspension forum and start poking around...
and tell your friend he isnt getting off to a good start and i wouldnt continue it...
