Re: Body Lift On 2000 Ranger XLT
I dont see how him running ABS (anti lock brake system) would matter with a lift.
Your not touching the brakes only the body is lifted from the frame.

Re: Body Lift On 2000 Ranger XLT
in calfornia the law is like......45 inches (recheck??) the ground from the middle of the headlights
i know its not maine but good reference
----------
copied:
Here in CA we have a frame height law that prevents trucks from being lifted too high:
24008.5. (a) No person shall operate any motor vehicle with a frame
height or body floor height greater than specified in subdivisions
(b) and (c).
(b) The maximum frame height is as follows:
Vehicle Type Frame Height
(1) Passenger vehicles, except
housecars ...................... 23 inches
(2) All other motor vehicles,
including housecars, as follows:
Up to 4,500 pounds GVWR ........ 27 inches
4,501 to 7,500 pounds GVWR ..... 30 inches
7,501 to 10,000 pounds GVWR .... 31 inches
(c) The lowest portion of the body floor shall not be more than
five inches above the top of the frame.
----------
^^ which btw is over liek 12 inches of lift for us ranger owners haha
ANYWAYS back to the point.. never seen a law against a measely 3 inch body lift

Re: Body Lift On 2000 Ranger XLT
bumpers : yes
fuel line: needs to be extended (usally included in kit)
brake lines and others tend to be snapped off the holders if they are over extended (no replacing)
manuals need an shifter extension, autos are fine

Its legal in Maine. The kit will include bumper relocating brackets, steering extension, fuel filler extension, also extensions for your radiator. Some kits like the one I got had a relocate bracket for the upper radiator hose

Do a spindle lift, body lifts are a headache in the long run.

Anywhere from 250-350. My truck is a 2000 xlt with a fabtech spindle. Changing spindles is pretty simple.
