i have a 2wd ranger and right now a sas is way out of the question because of the downtime it would have to endure and i dont have a place or tools to put the time into...anywho im wanting to lift it but want the most lift i can get without spending thousands on a prerunner kit..i got the back covered im wondering about the front..pics and links would be awesome

 

Fabtech has a kit for your truck. I think it's relatively cheap too.

 

I have looked into this subject alot. Just check out this page. Its all fabtech, but cheapest by far. You can go 2.5", 3", or 5.5".

2wd 98-07 ranger

 

Make sure you avoid speed bumps if you get fabtech. Speed bumps have been known to eat their spindles.

 

yeah, any aftermarket spindles are weaker than the stock spindles (the snouts). To avoid that you can get them pressed out, and press your stock ones in. Or just make sure you keep your stock assy's for spares
