I have a 2002 3.0L V6 Ranger 2wd XLT that I'd like to lift.Im new to modifying trucks or any vehicles and I'd like to know some pros and cons between suspension and body lifts. I've heard alot and know many who've gone with suspension and I'm sorta leaning towards that. What are good deals as far as price and quality in a suspension lift? My truck is stock has all the same parts as it did leaving the show room, what, if anything would i need to change/alter to it?

Thank you in advance

 

Go with suspension lift! Body lift leaves bumper and frame gaps, the frame sags out the bottom, and u hav 2 extend everthing. Suspension looks better increases ground clearance, and is less complicated. As far as quality in lift go with skyjacker, rcd, or pro-comp. 4 lower price go with rough country. It depends on how much lift u buy as far as parts go. With 4 inch and up u need longer brake lines, increased drive shaft angles, steering stabilizers, shocks, etc....

 

im not familiar with those brands..ones i have heard of are fabtech, superlift and i few others i cant think of at the moment. how do these rate in comparison?

 

Oh I didnt read that ur ranger was 2wd in that case go with Fabtech! They include everything and make high quality stuff.

 

alrighty thank you very much !

 

I think summit carries fabtech so take a look at www.summitracing.com

 

what if any changes can i expect to make?Ive heard things that because angles are distorted that shafts and parts need to be elongated and recalibrated.Details on this please?

 

i checked ur profile 864x2mudder and u are somewhat near me(MD) and i was curious where u go for parts, service, etc?

 

How much lift do u want exactly?

 

I order my parts or go to a local Advance or Napa. There are some 4x4 stores in Va beach but i live on the middle peninsula and thats just too far to drive!
