So I have a stock 2001 4x4 ranger edge extended cab and I am having the hardest time in the world finding a lift! All I want is a 2"-3" lift and a little bit of a wider stance. Now, mind you, I am not the richest guy in the world, I can't afford a $1500 lift. Can anyone help me out?
Since you are 4WD - you only have the following general options when it comes to lifting your truck:
1"-2" Torsion Bar Crank = Cost is only an alignment.
2" Leveling Kit (AKA - Torsion Keys) = Waste of money, same as a torsion bar crank - see option #1 above.
3" Body Lift (Performance Accessories or Summit Brand) = +/- $200 + Install
4" Superlift = +/- $2,000 + Install
Custom SAS = "Let your imagination take control of your wallet"
Pick your poison.
If you don't think the torsion bar crank will get you where you want to be & don't want to spend the $$$ for a Superlift - then slap on a body lift with larger tires & call it day - that's what the majority do.
Rear is the simple part....shackles, AAL or new leaf springs are the "popular" choices.
