You can get a 3inch body lift from PA for like 100bucks, that'll let you fit some bigger tires until you get money for a suspension lift to give you clearance and awesomeness.

How do you think a body lift will look on my truck?

^^ It's what STL has on his truck. Body lifts are cheaper but require a lot more work to install, and then require further modification to look right (EG: gap guards, moving the hitch, etc.). So consider the price of the installations too...

Body lifts always look good, well. Usually, always on a ranger though.
It's really not that much harder, don't be fooled. Just have to put in bigger lift blocks, make some gap guards and move your tow hitch.

It's actually fairly simple. SUspension lifts are harder, they require more work. But in the end, still fairly simple, just more time involved.





ALso, sometimes with body lifts, you have to extend your steering column. Once again, not hard. Just a major PITA. It'd be a day long project if you work fast and read the directions. But that all comes with BL kits.

Cool thanks guys. I may be going towards a body lift and bigger tires for now.

2wd spindle...super easy install. can be done in a few hours. body lifts are usually an all day ordeal and require more than one person. And it isn't just moving the hitch, to make it look right you would need to cut and weld it so i doesn't hang down 3". lift blocks with a body lift?? that is a suspension thing, nothing to do with body lift. those lift up the leaf packs on the axle.

heres a question. i to am going to be looking into a lift for my truck as well and am going to start saving soon. i know pretty much all there is to know about BL and whatnot and would like to look into spindles cause thats what i would prefer personally. but i have no idea where to start looking (i.e different brands and whatnot.) does anyone have a suggestion as to where to start looking or what manufactures are best that could help me out. i as going to start my own thread but i figured this would help out the other guy as well to.

As I suggested earlier, for a body lift,
The PA brand lifts are only like 100bucks,.

I think country performance or whatever makes some good ones.
Google search it, and see what brands come up, then start reading reviews.
