Hey guys I have been considering putting a body lift on the ranger, but I have some questions I have not been able to find answers for. I have been searching but have not been able to find any definite answers.

First, my struck is a 5 speed. I have heard there are issues with the shifters not clearing the cupholders.

Also, has anyone done a body lift on a 2.3 duratec truck? Are there any issues that do not exist on other trucks? For example battery cables, intake, and brake lines?

Thanks, also if anyone might have underhood pics of a duratec truck with a BL that would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

the body lift kit comes with a shifter extension to clear the cup holders.

im sure theres a couple that have done it to a 2.3 duratec. a body lift is a body lift. brake lines don't have to be extended.

 

The kit doesn't come with the shifter extension, you have to buy that seperate.

 

mine did when did they stop that?

 

I have never heard of them coming with the shifter kits. I always remember it being extra. Which kit did you get?

 

i got mine from summit in 2005

 

I think here in a week or two I might go ahead and order a summit BL and shift extension. I think a body lift for 98-00 should work... at least verything I have been reading on here and RPS says that it should work on my 07.

i did one on my 08 5spd everthing works good

 

I put the 98-00 summit body lift kit on my 2008 2.3l 5 speed. i didnt have any problems. As long as you get the shifter extension (it was seperate) there you shouldnt have any issues clearing the cup holders.

 

Ok sweet thats good to know!
