I am thinking about using a set of torsion keys to lift the front of my 08 Ranger 2", & either a block under the rear springs, or an extra leaf to the rear.

My Question is....HOW will this truck ride if I do this??? I don't want it to ride like a stage coach

 

it will ride like a stage coach...

 

What is the best & most economical way to lift an 08 ranger??

 

dont use torsion keys...they are made by the devil

 

If you would have searched, you would have come up with numberous threads on this exact subject.
This is at the top of the suspension section, a member found out 5-6 years ago what was causing the lower height of the 08+ trucks.

Here's my build thread, when I had pre-keys (07 and previous trucks) and the AAL I still use for the rear.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THOSE AFTERMARKET KEYS. Get a set of keys from an older truck.
It's still gonna ride rough but it's way better for your cv angles and ball joints. I've gone 3/4 years with just the pre-key option and 50k kms. (You will need an alignment after the swap is done)

Welcome to the site, it's a pretty knowledgable place, with a lot of posts from members who might not be active anymore. You might have to do alot of reading.

 

I paid $30 for my older keys, $35 for my AAL and $80 for my alignment. Your not gonna get much cheaper than that.

Even a body lift is a little more than that. Torsion bars ride stiff, you want a smooth ride? Buy a vehicle with it or invest in doing the coil over swap ($800+)

Sounds like "No" torsion keys...... that is what I wanted to learn...

 

Thanks Guys...Sorry I am not the greatest at using this site, I will get better. I just have the idea of wanting to lift my new ranger project I just bought. I see Torsion keys is not the answer for that. I will keep investigating, & will look into coil over springs. Are there any kits better than the others??
Thanks Guys!

 

Good luck in your search.

 

Thank You....So far I understand Coil over springs will work, & DBR Long Travel Radflo shocks full width 9'' 4.56 rears. Will look around on internet tomorrow to see who sells this. Thank You everyone.
