Would This Lift Work?

Ok. so i have a 95 ranger 3.0 with beams <3 and i was thinking could i get 4 inch lift springs and do a 2 inch block in the rear? i understand i will need new shocks but is it really this simple for a front lift? i am also aware of me going to need a alignment badly lol luckily im in automotive at school and i can do all of this FREE:)

i could really use yall inputs guys also if yall have any other ideas? im trying to get like a 3-4 lift for about $300 max if possible or am i crazy?

Thanks again!

You're going to need drop bracketry for a 4" lift upfront. You'll never get it aligned with just springs.

x2.
I've got F-150 coils in mine, Wasn't easy, adds about 1" to level the truck out.
Putting springs in also isn't easy. just saying.

I'm running F-150 Coils, and Expo leafs.
on 32's without rubbing. however, my tires are getting pretty bald, i might be going back to 31's soon.

like, 1.5", 2" if you use spacers.
There just isn't a viable suspension lift option for TTB trucks without paying an arm and a leg.
