Ranger 1" Body Lift Supplies?
I'm going to be embarking on a one inch body lift. I finally made up my mind and am dead set on it. I know I'm gonna need the body spacers(#?, i forgot), longer bolts. I just did the bumper mod and with a 1" body lift the bumper will have a 1 1/2" gap afterwards. Which is 1/8" more than the gaps on the sides before I lifted the bumper up. No biggie. Same deal with the rear end. I can live with it. The shifters should be fine just an inch lower, correct? I should be okay with all my hoses and lines right? I know gumby and casfz1 have done it, so it's possible. Thanks in advance for helping me with my questions.
Oh yeah, anyone wanna help? lol Maybe I'll drive out to Mich, they seem to be old pro's at bodylifting.

yup, blocks(12) and bolts. thats it. no hose extensions, no ground extensions, no fan shroud clearencing, nuthin.
my shifter hit the factory cup holder in the 02. no issue in the 03, but i had an ex.console in there, so no cup holder to hit. chekc you shifter, and clearence as needed.
get on AIM....

since this is a sticky now, i pulled out my stock bolts and re-measured for everyone.
been a while, but i think the bolts i used were
(2) 12x1.75x90mm
(2) 12x1.75x110mm
(6) 12x1.75x130mm
(2) 12x1.75x150mm
these numbers are ~30mm longer than the stockers.
dont forget washers. i used 1/2" washers, they are cheaper. fender washers in the bed.

I have about $50.00 in mine between the mounts and the bolts. you can get the body mount off of ebay for $2.00 each.
Here is the link for them on ebay:

When ordering them make sure you buy the ones that are 3"s wide not 2"s. the link above is for the right ones.
as gumby said make sure you get large fender washers for the bed bolts or they will pull through the bed.

And is there any way at all to raise the bumpers? Could I order the bumper brackets from a 3" kit and make it work somehow (modify or just use at lowest setting)?
