Okay so I have a 03 ford ranger edge with the torsion bar. I installed a 4inch spindle lift and I have my torsion keys set at 3 inches. My control arms won’t work. Who makes control arms that will work with my application????
Nobody, you'll have to have them custom made. Or lower the torsion keys back down, use stock control arms and make your suspension happy. Yea, it won't look as "cool" to your buddies, but neither does sitting on the side of the road with a collapsed wheel because all that stress from the bad suspension angles caused your ball joints to give out.

By any chance do you know if the 4x4 lines will work on the 2wd I doubt they will but figured I would ask

The lines are kept in a bracket that bolts to the frame. If you remove the bolt for that bracket and pull the bracket away from the frame a little bit, that should give you enough length so you won't have to worry about new lines. Again, that's only if you're running just the spindles. If you're maxing out your keys as well, you'll need extended lines. The 4x4 trucks will have the same lines and calipers as your truck, the 4x2's with torsion bars are essentially 4x4 trucks without a front axle or transfer case.
Did you grind down the little bump on the lower control arms? If not, do so as soon as possible. Your brakes will thank you.

I ran factory lines unbolted on mine when I was double lifted. Didnt go stainless until I did the SAS. If you do go the aftermarket route, make sure to buy DOT approved lines.some manufacturers claim its aircraft grade, but without the DOT approved ones, you're taking a huge chance on them blowing apart in a panic stop scenario.
