Looking to get a suspension lift for my Ranger
Starting to gain interest in modifying my Ranger, except I have a question about lifting it.
I already decided that I want a suspension lift kit and not a body, but my question is, what is the max height I can raise it where it won't cause the front axles to be at a too steep of an angle and wear out more quickly?
I know a popular option for a suspension lift is 4 inches, but is that safe to do to keep it as reliable as possible?
Thanks

4inch suspension lift requires a new front shaft. You can run the stock shaft for a while but they don't last. I went through 2 or 3 in 10k miles before I bought the Superlift shaft.
That's really your only suspension lift that would cause issues to the drive shaft. It is the only kit available that uses a drop bracket on the differential.
