Hey guys! New guy here! I was looking to lift my truck, currently i have a 2wd, 01 Ford Edge Ranger. I was checking out RCD, but they dont offer anything for a "EDGE" ranger. I know Spindles would work, i was wondering if anyone knew any other lift kits that are avaiable for my truck, since the edge trucks are t bars in front, im not sure what else i can get besides spindles... Any help would be great thanks

 

Spindles are one of your only choices. You could also go with a body lift. They are a couple of companies like Camburg that make long travel kits for your truck, but they are high dollar kits made for the desert trucks. It really depends on what you will use your truck for.

 

spindles thats about it...

I was lookin at the Entry Level and Performance 6.0, i think the only difference is dual spidles? I wonder what they do for the rear end? Blocks? I really dont want to block the back, any suggestions?

 

The camburg kits dont come with a rear lift, you have to purchase that separately. They don't have dual spindles either. They are just built very well so they can withstand abuse. Like Redneck said spindles are about your only choice if you don't wanna dish out the cash for Camburg.

 

spindles are about all that is offered specifically for 2wd EDGE models AFAIK.

you could *theoretically* get a trailmaster kit for a 4wd. it is a drop bracket kit that reuses the stock spindle, so you dont hafta worry about the fact that yours is 2wd. it uses balljoint extensions however, and i wouldnt recommend them for serious offroad use.

 

i guess spindles are the only lift kit for my truck, whats a good gear ratio to get them changed to?

 

I wonder if someone has done the "trailmaster and lift spindles" mod

 

i was close with my old truck.. got rear ended before i could install it tho

 

What size engine and tires are you running?

I have an 02 4x2 on 35" tires with a 3.0 and an automatic and it's a winning combination as far as I'm concerned.

 

scottyG and i were close to doin it to his ST. i found a cheap trailmaster kit used on another site. was plannin out 7.5" of suspension lift

deal fell thru though, thats why its still a *theoretical* in my book. i havent actually seen it done yet.

 

I'm going to create another thread on this...

 

i would do the body lift first you wont be dissappointed. if you want a lil more u can do the suspension but the bl is cheap fairly easy to instal with a few buds. thats my .02

 

Hey what trailmaster kit are you specifically talking about? How much lift does it offer? add lift spindles?

 

3.0, 2wd.
I was thinking about going with camburgs performance 6.0, the spindle lift. Running some 31's. Whats a good gear ratio?

 

3.73 gears for 31's or 33's?

 

Directly off the Camburg site.
System includes
Fabricated Uni-Ball Race Spindles
Custom upper A-Arms
Limit Straps
Stainless steel/ Kevlar Brake lines
Bilstein Shocks


Ranger EDGE
6.0 Performance off-road system

$2600.00

 

well i think i want to save up for the Entry Level 6.0 camburg lift kit, and i want a prerunner look, but not exaggerated. So how big of a lift do you think would be good on the back after that kit for the front? any one have pics w/ the Entry Level 6.0 on their truck?

 

check out the member Alon on here, he has what you are looking for on his truck...99% sure...

would you guys say that the dual shock upgrade is only necessary if your doing some harsher off roading?
