Instead of all of us guessing what you drive, why dont you make a signature (under user CP) and let us know what year and model truck you have.

Your life is riding on your truck's suspension. When you modify it, I think your priority should be on the quality, not the price, of the lift. Beyond that though, I'm afraid I can't help you much. I don't know much about Rangers before 98.

I dont think there's a TTB lift kit out there that's more than $600. taller springs, trailing arms. what else. Not much there. Kyle's right....should be more about quality, rather than price.

i had a 4 inch rough county lift on my 89 before the sas. alot of people talk junk about them but i never had any problems after i got it on. what i mean by that is that none of the bolt holes lined up. It took alot of time reeming out holes to make it fit. but after it was on i had no problems. rode real stiff that was about it. and it was the cheapest i could find that came with rear springs.
