A 2in BL??? Ever been done...
A 2in BL??? Ever been done...
So i like the look of a BL but dont want to spend the money on a 3in or the 1in as i dont think it add's enough stance IMO. I looked thought almost all of the pages for the 1in and seen one person ask about a 2in but no reply..
Im sure someone has done one i'd like to ask a few Q's to those that have i'll continue to search in the mean time.

one member did a 2in body lift by modifying a 3in kit. the truck was an 04-05 DSG Level2 on 33x10.5s at one point he had a trailer built with matching wheels and tires. I forget his username though, sold the ranger and got a bronco.
as far as i know there is only a 3 inch kit. 1 inch is a piece together deal and as far as you can go without extensions. A 2 inch would be a pain but could be done i suppose but it would require making extensions to drop the rad and to extend the grounds. Also you have to think about raising the bumpers too.
Performance Accessories 742 - Performance Accessories Body Lift Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com simple as that. 3 inch is too much for 31's. looks mad goofy.
Lame, it's only 1 inch less for the same work... I'm actually looking into this too because i dont want to go all 3" but 1 i dont think will cut it with 33's. The kit link posted above say its for ranger's 1983-1988, would it work with a 1999?
Yep, a 2" puck is a 2" puck any way you look at it. The extensions im not so sure about, but Im not doing the BL anytime soon so the 2" thing is hopeful but I havent even begun to really delve into it. 3" still looks goofy as ***** with 31" tires and I have no option or want to go bigger
Amazon sells the 2.5" body lift pucks for $2.50 each. Get yourself some bolts, make a steering extension, and you're golden.

but a 3" kit could be cut down to a 2" if you really don't want that extra inch.

this i averaged about 20mpg this last tank with 33x12.5
Otherwise i want 33's at some point.
I might consider cutting one if i can get one used as i'll need to buy different bolts.
@vista4.0 Do you have a tuner at all? Or some intake and headers??

If you are just planning on running 31's fvck the BL. Just go with a t-bar crank to level it out and run the 31's. You don't even need to crank your bars to fit 31's on a 4x4.
When you're ready to run 33's go with a 3 inch BL. Whats the big deal going an extra inch? With gap guards, 99% of the population won't be able to tell the difference between the 2" and 3". Everything (radiator drop brackets, steering extension, shifter extension, bumper brackets, exc) is already built for you and comes in the kit. Its a simple install.
