ok if you all dont mind we need some opinons on a lift for my 2000 ford ranger.
All that is on there now is just the 16 inch BFG's and I need a lift.
so here is a couple questions.
what kind of lift do you all have on your rangers, do you like it or not like it, where did you get it from and how much did you pay{if you all dont mind enclosing that information}.
We have looked online and all the places around here and so far we havent came up with anything if we did they dont make it for a ranger.
I only need maybe 2-3 inches.
If we dont find anything we are satisfied with my fiance and I are just gonna have to fabricate it.
Any and all responses would be appreciated...thank you.

 

3inch spindle lift in the front, explorer leafs and chevy lowering shackle in the rear

31x10.5x15s

 

crap, forgot to ask


4x4 or 4x2?

 

i just ordered some 3.5" fabtech spindles. It just turns out that i know someone at fabtech so i only dished out 150 for the spindles, but they usually run around 400 but you can order doestch/pro compy for about 100 bucks less. As for how much i like it? it goes on this weekend so i need to get back to you on that.

 

You should make a sig with the details of your truck.

I think you have a 4x4. Superlift makes a 3-4" suspension lift for around $1,400 shipped. PM me and I can possibly give you a contact for them in your area.

 

ok i will make a sig with everything my truck has...but for right now I will tell you all that is is a 4x4 stock doesnt have any modifications on it right now...

 

she has 4x4. i vote superlift and if that is too cheap for ya get RCD. lol

there are alot of good suspension lift threads on here, search is your firend

 

sounds good let me know how they work...

 

well do thank you

 

Spindles won't work with the 4x4. You will have to go with a bodylift or the Superlift.

 

also do you have PVH?? you'll have to mod the RCD for that...

 

Gil's right be careful if you go with RCD, pulse vaccum hubs will not work with that kit, so make sure you know what you have, saves a lot of money and time.

 

I guess we are gonna take a look under the truck this weekend to see what we have going on so we will inform ya after we do that...but in the meanwhile keep those suggestions coming...thank you.

 

If you don't have pulse vacuum hubs, I would recommend RCD, it's probably the best 4x4 lift you'll find short of getting something built or building it yourself which could cost a lot.

 

I don't know any of the technical details about lifts, but I can give you my opinion on them. I have an 00 Ranger with a 3inch body lift, it was already on it when I bought it. I love the way it looks, but wish it was a suspension lift instead.

 

(if it has a torsion front), You can get 1-1/2" to 2" easily with just a torsion crank on the front and adding a spring to the back. About $80 plus a front end alignment and you are done. Every extra inch of tire height you add will give you an effective 1/2" of lift on top of that.
