need small lift for an 09 ranger
After lots of searching, I am having a hard time finding lifts and aftermarket parts for the newer rangers. could anyone direct me to a place to buy a front end spacer lift and a rear shackle lift for an 09, or anything that would clear 31s.

Depends on your truck information....
Please make a detailed signature listing the information on your truck (model year, trim level, engine, 2WD/4WD etc.) so members can better assist you on your future questions.

You can do a coil spacer but I had bad luck with them on my 2007. Absolute garbage those coil spacers are.
I highly recommend instead a 4" Spindle. However you're probably not going for that much height, the spindles are just the superior option over the spacers for many reasons.
At the least do lift coils instead of the spacers. Same process to install, and it rides really nice. Either way you will need longer shocks. Just some things to think about

Re: need small lift for an 09 ranger
I was looking into a 3" spindle, would that work with factory shocks? and if not, what size shocks should I get?

Re: need small lift for an 09 ranger
Thanks everyone for the replies, I appreciate it.
One more question, as far as shackle lifts go for the rear suspension, I see in a lot of peoples signatures that they are using belltech 6400 shackles, but when I look them up I see them listed as drop shackles. I have also seen a lot of other shackles advertised as drop shackles, and I was wondering if the same shackle could be used to lift it or if its a totally different thing?

The belltechs are drop shackles for a GM 1500 because their rear spring hangers are inverted compared to a Rangers (spring hangs from hanger on a ranger where as it sits above the hanger on a GM 1500). So, while a longer shackle lifts a ranger, it lowers a 1500.
