WHat's up My name is luis a.k.a. Blazed. I been in to trucks since i was young. Ive mostly been into lowering trucks but never thought about ever wanting to lift anything. i built a 96 4dr chevy blazer and did couple thing to it before i sold it , now i bought a 08 ranger 2wd and was surching for lifts kits when i ran in to this site hope to meet some ppl that can give me some info on lifting.

blazer built it and sold it,

ranger link doesn't work

 

sorry here it is. i want to lift it about 7-8"

 

does it have torsion bars or coil springs up front? either way check out fabtech, they make kits for both front ends. and to get 7-8 in. youll have to do a suspension and body lift, check out oh5edge's rig, its lifted about that much.

 

iam pretty sure its coil, thanks for the info i know notting about lifitting,torsion bar setups or fords at that. I was reqading on the net that if i go with fab tech i cant keep my stock wheels? know anything about that?

 

yah you have to get different wheels, the backspacing on the stock rims will rub the new spindles that you put on

 

is that every kit or just fabtech?

 

i think its just fabtech... but they make the best kit that isn't crazy $$$(camburg) oh and welcome to r-f

 

i think its just the fabtech lift, doestech(i dont remember how to spell it) also makes spindles but ive heard nothing but bad things about them, youd be happy with the fabtech lift, i believe you could get some wheel spacers if you really wanna keep your stock rims.

 

welcome to RF

kool thanks yeah i can bag or lower a chevy but dnt know a thing about lifting a ford. do you know if this kit will fit my truck http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=220246508324 ?

 

Yea, I would get lift spindles though...I run doetesch on my truck and they are cheap and work fine.

 

iam trying to lift my truck 8 inches 3 of them will be a body lift and i want to run 35's and most likely run pre runner fenders what kit would you recommend?

 

Same as my truck basically...you got coils...so this kit would be good
