pieced together body lift
i got a 99 ranger with a 03 front and i want a body lift for it but i want a 2" not 3. is there somewhere i can buy just the spacers and the front bumper lift? if i could only get 3" brackets i could just cut them down or something what else would i need beside spacers, front bumper lift brackets? i am not sure what i need or not need so any info guys?

Pucks=no
they are not made to lift, they are made to slide across ice. cause once you drill through the pucks and then throw a bed and cab on top of them, big no no. you don't just slap them in there and call it good.
just order a PA body lift and cut it down to 2 inches, it has been done. why just the front bumper brackets, what about the rear. Yes you may run into a problem if you only use 2 inches of the 3 inches, but i don't know and if you have a manual you will need the shifter extension.
I don't know of any where you can put just the body lift spacers. I'd just suck it up and spend the 150 and order the PA BL. The 03 front end has nothing to do with what BL you will order.

If you glue the pucks in between 4 inch pvc pipe and seal the top and bottom, i feel that a hockey puck would work fine.
Just my opinion tho.
I would also go with a suspension lift insead of body. but they dont make a 2 inch for either.
Whats wrong with a 3 inch body ATOM????

I'm just trying to point out that itz easier to buy the kit than fab your own. I think your idea of putting the pucks in PVC is a good idea but I question issues with the type of glue used in extreme weather conditions and other suck extremes.
Where do you shop.
There $1 around here.
10 mounts x 2 pucks ea. = $20
SAVE LOTS OF MONEY.
I guess since i work at a hockey arena im always thinking of hockey..lol.
And if i was to do the lift, i can get all 20 pucks for free...
Never said he had to do that lift or it was the best way.
Just giving out my ideas of that i would do if i only wanted a 2 inch lift.
