EBAY LIFT KIT????

So I've been wanting to put a lift on my 1999 ford ranger. I sent out a few quotes to some shops and came back to be $4,000 for a 3" lift lifetime warranty, 33" maxxis bighorn tires and 15x10 wheels. but since I dont really want to spend 4g for everything. So i looked on ebay and found a 3" suspension lift for cheap but I'm not sure I can trust ebay knockoffs.
3 Lift Kit FORD RANGER 98-08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01 00 99: eBay Motors (item 310043750847 end time Aug-10-10 0754 PDT)
I have 33" wheels/tires already.
The question is should i buy the ebay lift or stick with fab-tech, Rancho, skyjacker, etc.
thanks,
Allen

that lift is for two wheel drive coil sprung trucks only by the look of it. so if your truck is a 4x4 or an edge it wont wokr

craptech spindles are cool if you want your wheels to fall off mobbing threw a McDonalds drive thru. anything besides some like 2" lift springs or steel spacers i wouldnt trust off ebay. rancho and skyjacker dont make kits for a 99. doestch makes some inexpensiveish kits but i have no experience with them

u can get 3" from spindles and get away with no new uca, or 3" from springs but need new uca's to make it work
