Question body lift oppesed to suspension lift

For clearance I know I need a suspension lift, However i cannot find one for a good price that i am willing to pay. Is there an alternative such as getting a body lift to get the look and what will the whole package about cost me. I haven't seen too many body lifts on here which is why I was wondering.

Thanks

Almost all of us are body lifted lol. 90% of 1998+ rangers are I can gauruntee you that.

Take a look at my truck it's body lifted and suspension lifted (granted, completely diferent susp. setup but you get the Idea. 3 inch body and 3 inch susp.)

I have been browsing your set up all day actually. How much was the 3 in. body lift and did you have to get a shift extension for a manual.
