Lifting my 99 ranger

So I bought a 99 ranger with a 3.0 and it’s 2wd, just put some 30s on it with chrome rims, I want to do a lift but I can’t find anything has anyone done a lift on that body style and if so what did you use?

2wd is easy. You have A-Arms that have several options. I wouldn’t recommend cranking up your Aarms to get lift. BTF sells 4” lift spindles for a low cost.

How high are you planning to lift the truck?

Body lift is a cheap alternative that leaves your suspension alone

I know there cheap but I heard you have to mess with the radiator and the different wiring and hoses that’s why I was looking to do suspension

I used 4 inch spindles for the front and three inch blocks for the back and it works great! The only thing id watch out for is I had bad negative camber on the front, so I had to get that adjusted at my local mechanics, and the spindle will require shaving off some metal off of the lower control arm. but a 20 dollar angle grinder from Walmart did the trick for me. Good luck!
