lift setup for a 2000 ranger xlt 4x4

ILivermore43 · #1 06-15-2014, 11:33 AM

I found some cool stuff on a page called fatbobsgarage for my 2000 ranger. I was wondering if anyone had used any of this stuff before? They have an AAL setup for the rear that is supposed to raise the rear end 1.5-2.5". Then they have a torsion key package that comes with longer shocks (I'm wondering if this is to put less wear and tear on the front end). I'll post a link and as always everyones opinion is appreciated.

But are longer shocks better with keys?

I bought this exact setup from the same company. It's like any other setup out their with the keys, if I could do it again I would've just cranked my original keys to get the same affect. Their shocks are shit as I already replaced them and they've been on about a year. Too sum it all up just buy the AAL, crank your stock keys and buy bilstein shocks.

Or buy ranchos if you don't have the cash for bilsteins

I'll still have a ton of rake if I just crank the stock bars with AAL, wont I?

You might have a slight amount. I sit perfectly level with that setup.

Body lift.... About 300 bucks if you do it youself and a very slight t bar crank then to level

I dont want to do a body lift. They're pointless IMO.

Then if you do AAL I'm pretty sure you could max your stock keys to get level. If you have #1 bars you prolly could. Don't hold me to it tho.

I dont have #1 bars. And I had my torsion bars adjusted by a shop and they said they couldn't adjust them anymore than they did. It doesnt sit perfectly level right now
