I-Beam lift kits.

My ranger has i-beams and i'm trying to find out who makes a good lift? That can take some abuse. Thank you

If you have the stock 95 frontend, roughcountry makes a 4" lift kit for 430.00$ for the 2wd ranger. I haven't heard the term twin I-beam since the mid 60's. If you have the stock frontend there's lift kits out there, try www.jcwhitney.com. Don't be telling people that it's twin I-beam when calling about lift kits, your gonna throw them, just tell them it's a 95 2wd ranger unless you have changed something in the front.

I still call em twin I beams, don't usually mention them when I'm shopping though. Now you say you want something that'll take abuse. What will you use the truck for? most things that'll put your truck through hell are places that'll require 4x4 to get through. Now if all you want is a nicer, higher up look, or a liitle more ground clearance to go to your cabin out in the bush. Maybe you should look for a decent kit that'll give you looks, clearence, decent quality without breaking the bank. For example if buy a Dixon Brother kit for your 2x4, well either you think your truck is capable of things it isn't, or you have way too much money to spend on something that'll never get used 1/3rd it's potential.

Rough Country as mentioned is of decent quality and will more than enough handle what your truck is capable of, also won't break the bank. Other brands such as Superlift, Skyjacker are more pricey and also probably overkill.

Anyways it's your money, I just don't want to see you pay and not receive.
Or worse get hurt or killed once stranded far from help.

Yeah, Dixon Brothers suspensions are made for desert racing, they hold up really well while being abused, but for 3 grand they should. There's good quality kits out there from rough country, superlift and so on. Just confirm you have a stock 2wd ranger and I'll help you find some.
