95 2wd lift options

Just wanting to get some options on lifting my 95 ranger. its 2wd and it has the 3.0 in it. I have done some searching and havent found a whole lot.

Here are my thoughts, If i get the rear leafs out an explorer and swap those into my truck, what can I do about the lifting front end? I may be completely wrong, but would the springs from a certain year f150 fit in the front? what else would need to be done?

My truck has completely stock suspension.

What else could I do for more on the cheaper side if that idea isnt good??

In this suspension swap I would also grab the 8.8" rear end from the Expo and swap that in as well... Ill just have to turn it upside down.

Now pics of my current setup (Stock with 31 BFGs on Alcoas):







Thanks for the help.

Get some skyjacker coils and throw them in there. I believe the 4x4 ones will fit and the 4" should give you 6" of lift.
