"KISS" Keep it simple stupid
For your simplicity just go to broncograveyard and buy item 33809, its a 6inch lift with radius arms and leaf springs. Throw on your 35s and call it good.
Then later on down the road change gears to like a 4:56 "FRONT AND REAR".
When the loss of power finally gets to you, go back to bronco graveyard and buy items 32010c, 32310D, 32319, and 32017. Its 4:56 gears from yukon front and rear, and rebuild kits front and rear with all bearings, shims and seals needed.
The total comes to like $1648.84 Toys arnt cheap
Good Luck

This is what you need. I believe I read that your truck is a 94. If so it has the same drive train as my 89 (same suspention setup). If so your truck is equipped with a dana 44 ttb (twin traction beam). This is a dana 44 differential housed in an axle setup that works almost like a pair of scissors. You should have an 8.8 rear axle. I would not suggest going over 35's with this set up.
Personally I run 36's but that is pushing it. A 6 inch suspention lift would clear 35's fine. I would suggest spending the money now and getting the extended radius arms and full springs in the rear, NO blocks. I would also suggest getting 4.56 gears and remember gears from a straight axle dana 44 will not work. The dana 44 ttb is a reverse rotation ring and pinion.
If you wish to go higher save the money and do a sas (solid axle swap). A dana 44 and 9 in rear should be enught if you do not wheel it hard. I'm guessing you are not that interested in offroad performance. If so step up to a dana 60 front and 10.25 rear or a 60 rear. Reguardless of what you do just make it safe for the rest of us.

The gears still turn the same. "Reverse rotation" is a term that is often confused.

DesertStorm, do you have pics of your Ranger on 39'
I want to convert my 2wd to 4wd (SAS) but 33s might be my max.
