'97 vs. '98
i have a 1998 Ranger supercab 2wd and i want to put a lift on it. I can get a good deal on a lift kit for a 1997 ranger and i was wanting to know what the difference 1 year makes. thanks

Hello, welcome to FTE!
The '98 Ranger was changed around a bit from the '97, most particularly the front suspension and 4x4 system.
Some more info here: Ford Ranger History

Spindle alone gets you 3 inchs. Coil spring and a-arm alone gets you 2.5 inchs. When you combine the 2 you get 5.5 inchs. Some of the crappy lifts like from Chassis Tech claim more inchs but stick with the quality lifts.
