What should i do with my truck?
So I've had this truck for a little over a year now, but I'm ready to do something with it. Its a 2001 Xl if I'm correct and it's a 4.0 v6 with a 7 foot bed. I recently got it repainted but now I'd like to lift it. I was thinking to do a 3 inch suspension lift bc its more in my price range compared to anything bigger, but I don't know a whole lot about any of this stuff. I'm very new and I'd like to learn more. I want to know exactly what goes into lifting it and if there's other things about the truck ill have to modify. I plan on getting new rims and bigger tires after lifting it to give it some extra height, but I'm afraid I wont be satisfied if it doesn't sit as high as I wanted. Does anyone have pictures of a 3 inch suspension lift on this style ranger they could share? Anyone willing to help me figure out exactly what I should do with my truck? I've even considered the 3 inch suspension lift with a 3 inch body lift but I'm not sure if that would look nice. I just need lots of help if anyone is willing to do so

Ive got ya Fam.
There are a lot of small things you can do to give that "look". and there are a lot of big things that will make an even bigger impact. There are 3 things that predict what all you can do:Money, Experience, and or Time(There is more but it really falls to these 3 things)
So what you want to start with?
Wanna start small or big?
Just give me some things that you want to improve/change/add/get rid of
and give me some more pics i want to see it and it woudle be a great idea to take pics as you go along

I appreciate all the feedback ive already gotten from everybody. I love the way the 3 inch lift looks with that truck. Do you know anything about those wheels in that pic bc they look really nice. Anyways I think I'll just give you a list of things I'm really wanting to do to my truck. So ive already gotten it painted which I got done for a steal of just $300. And just today actually I got my windows tinted (ill upload a pic). I'm definitely gonna go with the 3 inch suspension lift but that's going to take some saving, along with getting bigger wheels. I also want to get fender flares with the bolt on look. I plan on getting a bull bar for my truck pretty soon bc they don't cost too much to buy. Id like to add some lights to the bull bar at some point as well. Eventually Id like to get some new headlights that are tinted pretty dark to match the black and white theme of my truck but id like for them to have halos. As I said before, I got my windows tinted today and I was speaking with the manager and he said he could wrap the bottom of my truck in black all the way around. It feels like a pretty big list of things to do but at some point id love to complete it
