2006 Ranger XLT 2WD lift???
Hi guys, I'm trying to put together a lift for my '06 XLT 2WD. I know that nobody makes a lift kit, but I also know that there has to be some way to get the front of my truck lifted 2-3 inches. Got the rear handled... just need some words of wisdom for the front. Any help guys? Thanks!

You can lift your front suspension up 6" without a body lift. You have two options for the front.
One is a spindle lift, which yields 3" of lift, with no change in ride quality. Most expensive, but it is the most favorable option as well. An alignment is recommended.
For the other 3" of max lift, you can pick up some coil spacers or some lift coils. Coils stiffen your ride because they use different spring rates. There are plenty of different heights for coils and spacers, ranging from 1" to 3". When you lift more than 2" with coils or spacers, you might want to look into aftermarket upper control arms to aid your alignment. Keep in mind, that with coils and spacers, you will need extended shocks and new alignment cams, and obviously an alignment.
For the rear, you have different options as well. You can add lift blocks, extended shackles, add-a-leafs, and lift springs. New shocks will be needed to accompany any lift.
You can also add a 3" body lift for a full 3" of lift.
31's are preferred with 2.5"-3" of lift, and 32's will have minor rubbing. 33's are preferred with 4.5"-6" of lift, and 35's are for the 9" of lift.
