Lift/Leveling Kit
 

Hey guys,

I did a lift/leveling kit on my '03 Ford Ranger recently that was simple torsion keys and rear shackle replacements. I say 'simple' but I ran into a few complications with the frame shape, amount of torque required to install the torsion keys, and also the camber bolt kit that I didn't know about until getting into the project. I completed the lift/leveling kit and brought the front up 2" or so and the rear up 1.5" to level the truck out. I am done installing the adjustable camber bolts, put extended Rancho shocks on it that fit my level of lift, and got an alignment done to straighten everything. At this point I'm concerned with the upper control arms, they seem pretty stretched out but I don't see anything online about aftermarket extended control arms. Which I realize there aren't a ton of Rangers out there with smaller lifts on them like mine and larger lifts I'm sure come with all of the extended front end suspension parts and thus the extra cost. Just curious if anyone has had any experience with this sort of a lift and if they changed any other front-ent components out as I don't want my front end suspension to wear out prematurely and wreck my nice new 32" tires. Thanks for your help guys!
