1998 ford ranger Intake advice

I am finally getting around to chasing down my lean codes. I have the valve covers, upper and lower intake manifolds off and injectors pulled. I am wondering if anyone has had luck cleaning their injectors? My truck isn't really worth much and spending 180-300$ on new injectors doesn't really interest me. I watched a few videos on YouTube showing how to clean your injectors. Seemed pretty easy. I was also wondering what intake gaskets and VC gaskets you guys are using and where are you getting them from. Thanks.

I get my gaskets from Ford.
I don't think injectors go bad very often.

Do you buy online or right from the dealership?

Right from the dealership, but I check the prices online and the dealer is always higher, the counterman will lower the price if I point it out.
