I have been surfing for lift kits but seems like there are none after the '97 year. I was wondering if in '98 is when the b-series/ranger became totally the same truck except for some styling parts?

If anyone has any info for me that would be great. I am sure a '07/'08 ranger kit will fit but just want to make sure.

 

nah.....like 93ish is when the mazda and ranger were complete twins. I believe....

A bodylift for a '06-current ranger should be just fine for your truck......but quite possibly 01-05 ranger might work. I don't know if the bumpers mount differently on a mazda compaired to a ranger.

 

do you know when they started putting 2 tow hooks between the grill and bumper. I wonder if they will ahve to be moved?

 

tow hooks between the grille and bumper??? Tow hooks are located in a hole in the bumper. Most folks get rid of them, or cut holes in the bumper to make them useful, or i'm sure you can raise their position so they still stick out through the bumper....but i dont think i've ever seen it done.

I'm pretty sure 98ish is when they started installing these "loop" hooks that we have.
