I have a 1985 Ford Ranger 4X4 and I plan to level the front end with 1.5" spacers and put on a 3" body lift. My questions are will I need alignment brackets with the spacer to get the proper specs? What tires will fit? Factory tires are 205/75/15.

Alignment brackets? I assume you mean "drop" axle pivot bracket,no you shouldn't need them.With the age of your truck,installing the spacers is probably going to restore it back to (or close)original height.With the body lift 31x10.50's should go on with no probs.
