Lift Question for my 98
I am new to this forum, so please don't get mad at me if this has already been answered. I have a 98 Ranger 4x4 extended cab XLT and I want to do a lift, but not a body lift because I want more clearance. I know I will need to add-a-leaf and get new c-clamps to hold the extra leafs, but what else do I need to do. I probably don't want to buy a whole kit because that will be too expensive. What would you recommend?
By the way, I want a 2 to 3 inch suspension lift? if that is what you call it |
your only options... if you dont want a $200 body lift...
$1600ish(with out skid plates or driveshaft) Superlift 4" $2300ish(with out driveshaft) RCD 6" (requires prefesional welding) $ dont know because never checked but still expansive the DBR long travel kit... have fun... you can crank your Torsion bars a little to get about .5-2" maybe depending on how sagged they are |
Sounds like I own the same truck you do and I've looked into the same thing and Zach is, as usual, dead on. We don't have a lot of cheap options. I refuse to do a body lift and so, until I win the lotto, I remain stock height (except for a torsion crank). It sucks but that's the way it is.

I used to go head on with you for bein a body lift hatin bastard, now Shalafi is the one who hates em for no good reason. Kinda funny. Oh well, everyone has to be elitists about something.. Aaron |
Off topic, but it that shows how much people dont know about something until they have it or have used it.
On topic, if you want a good suspension system in the range you are looking at, (2-3") Superlift makes a great 4" kit as Zach stated above. |
I am not hating on body lifts, lol, I am just kind of a noob. If I get a body lift though, I won't get any more clearance. The only reason I would get a lift is to get more clearance. Or am I wrong?

Bodylift=bigger tires=more clearance and traction

I didn't know I hated them..I thought I just didn't like them. Learn something new everyday.
I'm not discouraging people from doing the BL, just saying I wont. Really not a big deal. EDIT: I also wouldn't put a lift kit on my truck either. Too expensive and lift isn't a big deal to me as there isn't a lot of offroading to do anymore around here and my money is going into other things.
