Performance Accessories. That's what I'm getting. They run about $180 from what I've seen and are good quality. All are basically the same from what I've heard, but performance accessories is much cheaper than others that come with more things. You may need to make a trip to the hardware store to find a couple things here and there from what I've heard, but it's sill going to be significantly cheaper than other competitors. Also, just a tip: you can enter in info into the search bar, and many hits will come up to help. This question has been asked before, so you can find what others have said there.
Hope that my 2 cents is worth anything to you, and good luck!

Go to summit racing .com
Look for ford ranger body lift kit
I think the part # is like 8333000 or something like that.
Its normally like $164 I think, now and then on sale for $134.

Good cheap kit, and comes with everything u will need, unless you have a manual transmission, then u need to buy the shifter extension piece separate.

Ok sure.
Yes I agree, but it's pretty annoying to have someone just pop into a thread just to say "use the search button".
