cheap lift?
hey guys
k so my first truck is a 1997 ford ranger, 4 cyl, 2.3L i want to do a little bit of lift on it, not too much, im getting add a leafs for 2 inches in the rear, now for the front. i am wondering if i am able to just buy lift springs, say the 4" lift springs from skyjacker, and then just get a wheel alignment?? if that is completely useless and wont work, chill, im new to cars/trucks, i work on bikes and just wana learn, soooo i would appreciate the help, thanks!!! |

That'll do |
so i can just get lift springs in the front and the alignment?

A 3 inch body lift is like $150

yea, they say 4" but you might experience some sag. there is also the body lift option. if you are experiencing reverse rake you could also do a shackle on the rear and an AAL. that might give you 3-4 inches.

4 inch coils or leaf springs? cause you will need drop brackets to fit the coils. you could just get some leveling coils though
|
you could pick up coil spacers at advanced or somethin..since your doin 2 inches in the back grab a 2 inch spacer for each coil..wont sit level..itll sit stock..just 2 inches higher. there like 10 bucks. just make sure you get the circle ones and not the little block spacers. the block spacers will work for a while but they put too much stress on one tiny part of the coil. thatll snap for a while. the circular boot style puts even stress throughout the coil.
or you could be smart and buy a kit. in all honesty, if you cant afford a real kit..just throw a body lift. they are a bitch and a half to install but i never liked the idea of trying to mke your own lift when your just starting out working on trucks. trucks and bikes are different.. |
