Default cant find lift kit for 2010 4x4

I have a 2010, 5 speed manual 4.0L V6 4x4. I want to put a 2" supsension lift kit on but cant find anything that says will fit a 2010 4x4. I have seen torsion keys for the front but nothing for the rear. I would like to add a leaf but cant find anything for 2010. I seen pro comp has AAL product #13133 and 13120 one being short and one being long but says it only fits up to 02. Any help on how to do a 2"-3" suspension lift or AAl that fits would be greatly appreciated!!

Copy & Paste time:

Since you are 4WD - you only have the following general options when it comes to lifting your truck:
  1. 1"-2" Torsion Bar Crank = Cost is only an alignment.
  2. Pre-Key Mod (If 2008+ Ranger) = Gets you to the height of a pre-08 stock 4WD Ranger. Then you can perform option #1 from there.
  3. 2" Leveling Kit (AKA - Torsion Keys) = Waste of money, same as a torsion bar crank - see option #1 above.
  4. 3" Body Lift (Performance Accessories or Summit Brand) = +/- $200 + Install
  5. 4" Superlift = +/- $2,000 + Install
  6. Custom SAS = "Let your imagination take control of your wallet"
Pick your poison.


Rear is the simple part....shackles, AAL or new leaf springs are the "popular" choices. They will still work on your 2010 - manufacturers just stopped updating info - nothing changed.

All the aftermarket torsion keys do (besides drain your bank account) is let you crank the torsion bars PAST the stock maximum - which is bad news.

Summary:
Stock keys w/ bars cranked 1.5" = Potential for stiffer suspension & minor increase in front end component wear.
Aftermarket keys w/ bars at standard location = Stock keys w/ bars cranked 1.5" + Lighter Wallet = Same potential for stiffer suspension & minor increase in front end component wear.
Aftermarket keys w/ bars moderately cranked = Major increase of front end component wear.
Aftermarket keys w/ bars max cranked = Imminent truck death & destruction.

Any AAL that is listed for a 2001 model year (if not earlier) Ranger will work on your 2010. Nothing changed as far as AAL fitment.
