There shouldn't be any differences. Fabtech only makes a lift for 2wd Rangers with the torsion bar suspension. RCD also makes a nice lift kit, but its pricy and more involved of a install than the Superlift. You can get the Superlift from stuffforyourranger.com, the owner for that site is a member on here.

rcd kit goes up to 2002...i dont see why it would be any different, but then again, they would show all years if it would work.

They just might not have installed it on years newer than 2002 so they can't guarantee it or they might not just update their site. The RCD will work for your 07 as well.

The reason RCD is only listed up to 2002 is because ford changed the rotor size in 2003. The RCD knuckles are not drilled for the larger rotors on the 03 and up trucks. Just get a set of rotors from a 98-02 and it'll work fine. The superlift will fit up to 08 without any problems or extra parts.

Superlift drills 2 sets of holes in their knuckles, that way they can accommodate both sizes of rotors. RCD only drills one set of holes, so you're pretty much stuck running the smaller rotors.....but the smaller rotors don't effect your braking at all.
