highest possible
ok i looked around and found a 6 in leaf spring without using blocks but i found a 5in block kit so that would be 11in in the rear how ould i upgrade the front to what 13" the only thing i can think of is getting the 6" coil springs and addin a big spacer like a 5 in spacer underneath the front coil overs but what about shocks too???

What, did you not like my response in the other thread? Oh, I'm sorry, I assumed you could take a joke, or at least realize that pounding a bunch of ideas into one paragraph-long sentence, like a chimp trying to slam a square block in a round hole, is not a good idea.
I simply suggested that you should at least spend a couple minutes thinking about how to effectively communicate instead of just spouting whatever comes into that slack-jawed, mouth-breathing, inbred, walnut-sized piece of dung that you call a brain.

alright, i'm sorry, i'll take it back. it's just i haven't flamed anyone in a good long while, and grammar is one of those things that just really bothers me.
Body lifts are generally a bad idea because they don't add any effective performance. I mean, yeah, you can fit bigger tires, but it doesn't really help off-road.
I think a 6" suspension should be more than enough for 35's, but someone will have to confirm that.
Search around, and one guy in the other thread posted some links.
Also, if you didn't like the other post you made, you could have edited in instead of making another thread. Just makes things easier for people trying to read the board.
edit: my remarks about the suspension are based on the other thread, so it doesn't look like it makes sense, but it does.

What are you trying to do? Stacking stuff isn't a good idea....

well my budget is 1600. I am just trying to get the highest stance possible. I have 14-35-15 groundhawgs but i know they will fit. They fit great in the rear but not in the front. I figured if i got a 6in superlift kit with a 3in body, i would be at 9in but with the 34.5 in tall tire i think im running 31x10x15s now so i think its another 4in of lift to get 13".But i could be mistaken and as far as stacking goes whats the difference in an add a leaf kit with blocks, then a 6in spring with a 5in block???

I gave you a link to a Skyjacker 8 inch kit that will let you run 35s with no problem. If you have a F150 with a IFS/TTB, 8 inches is about the safest max you can do.
OR
Bronco Graveyard has a 10 inch Solid Axle Swap set up - Which is far more than 1600.00
A proper suspension system with tires and wheels will run at least 3000.00.
Do us all a favor and lift the truck properly.

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.

With that much lift already those tires should fit, simple as that. Unless your running a rim thats ridiculusly backspaced of course. If you honestly cant fit them in front then go to JCwhitney.com and order 4 coil spacers and install 2 on each front spring (one at top and one at bottom of each front spring) that will lift your front end another 2" (not that you need it) which will give you all the (extra) room you need. You will look stupid running around with stacked blocks and 13" of lift on puny 35" tires. Not to mention that stacking blocks is a danger to yourself and every other driver on the road.
