only ententions on ranger are the steering shaft, which is included in the kit, and the manual shifter extention which is bought seperately.
Ive yet to buy the gap gaurds, but once i do, it wont be noticible at all. I see stock blazers and other chevys drivin around with more frame showing than a b/l'd ranger/ Id say do it, it gives you room for bigger tires, which gives you more ground clearance. and give your tires more room to move before rubbin.

I don't know about you guys, but I can spot a body lift EVERY time..with or without suspension, and with or without gap guards. It's just a pet peeve of mine I guess...but if you have a 4WD I can understand. However, if you have a 2wd and don't have spindles yet, save up a bit longer FOR SURE.

well lets see, I have had a body lift on mine for some time, no squeaks or anything from mine, i made my own gap gaurds, cost me a total of 5 bucks + my time. its a great lift for the 4x4 guys if you dont have the money for a suspension.
For everyone that HATES them, thats fine, your opinion, I hated them too because before i did mine and i saw a bl on other trucks i hated seeing the frame! but our rangers with a 3 inch bl show less frame than a stock chevy or dodge.
I had gotten TONS of compliments on my body lift, people are like is that stock? nope just a 3 inch body lift, their response was BODY? DAMN that is the nicest body lift i have seen.
Id say go for the body lift, they are cheap, will give your truck the extra clearnce for the bigger tires.
and then maybe someday down the road, you can have enough money for a suspension so everyone stops *****ing about the body lift that hates them here.
you can even keep the bl on like me and run even bigger tires that people with just suspension lifts.
I hate close minded people!
As far as Body lift brands, performance accesories is the only one i know of, it is a very good kit, gives you everything you will need, bumpers, extensions, and of course the body.
For suspension lifts, the 2 major brands that i know of are SuperLift which is a 4 inch lift, and the RCD lift which is a 5 inch lift, but turns it into a coil over spring rather than keeping the stock torsion bars.
Anyways good luck, and CANT NOT wait to see your decision on your lift :)
