Performance Accessories 3 inch bodylift for 98-00 trucks and being put on my 01 ranger......the kit fit perfectly on my truck had no problems at all....being that i had a rollpan and a stepside bed the filler neck is different in the 98-00 kit and the rear bumper brackets will not fit an 01 plus truck either but i have a rollpan and a stepside bed so i didnt have to install either of those...i highely reccommend this kit to anyone that wants to save 100 or so bucks......hit me up with questions if ya need to i will be happy to answer them!

 

could you post a pic of the rear bumper bracket please...

 

 

Those look like the same ones that are on my truck

 

LOL yep those will work

 

When i called PA they told me they are totally different

 

no, they look the same...
unless somehow the measurements are diff. but i dout it

they prob said its way diff. because the newer kit is expensive..they want money

 

does a body lift come with these brackets???

 

The PA bodylift does dunno about other brands

 

Thanks for the info. I think my PS of your truck came out pretty close! Made it a little too high, but not too much.

 

those brackets are the same ones i had in my PA kit.....those look the same as on other year rangers..........i know a hitch would work on any Ranger '93+ is the same.....so i dont see why the bumper brackets would be different!

 

those are close but not exactly the same. the 01-03 kit ones are rounded on the smaller end, but nothing a grinder wouldnt fix.

 

and a big hammer.....

 

no hammer required

 

awe, you're no fun


a big hammer is always required

 

no kidding! if you can't fix it with a big hammer, then you cant fix it at all!

 

i have a 99 w/ the PA 3" body lift and i the brackets dont go in bc of the curve of the bumper, i was going to grind them down to put them on but found holes on the bumper to bolt tow hooks to... so i didnt lift it, unless somoene has first hand experience of the strength of the brackets...
reguardless. does anyone else have that issue?

 

oxy-ace torch and air tools are my friends.

 

show off! lol

 

the torch and angle grinder r my friends, working on convincing rents for air tools

 

so the pa 3" bl kit for 98-00 will work on my 01?

 

I used those brackets on my 2000.
I didnt have to do anything to them to put them on and they came with my body lift....But they were a PITA to put on.

I dont see why the 01 BL would be different from the 98-00.
I mean basically everything is the same on the 01 as far as body and cab bolts, and the radiator, right?!

 

that is because the kit in question is made for your year model

 

another thing is you have to be careful there is 2 98-00 kits one doesnt come with rear bumper bracket i do beleave

 

and the fuel extentions are different as well. flareside models dont need the extention.
