Default Where to start for lifting 94 ranger

Hello all, this is my first truck/ford and just looking for some info. I have a 94 Mazda b3000/ranger and I’m looking to lift it but don’t really know where to begin or where I should start. I’ve always had German cars so excuse my lack of knowledge. I’ve looked up a bunch of stuff and I see a lot of different kits and such but don’t know if buying a 700$-1000 kit is my only option. I’m looking to do maybe a 2-4 inch lift and bigger tires.

Hopefully you didnt buy that garbage and for future readers... If you havent already there are much better options. It wont be cheap. The cheap end is rough country if you are just doing it for looks then great this runs around $700. If you want to wheel you are looking at the cheap end being a tough country with radius arms and that + a drop pitman arm and longer brake lines and shocks and drop brackets for the sway bar will be around $1200. I am looking to do this one on my 95.

We are pretty sure that the plug by Undr was more based upon opening up the dialog to the O/P not necessarily making a statement that the Rough Country kits were the benchmark in which to base purchasing decisions on.

We actually offer suspension systems in excess of $9k for those looking to take things to different levels.

Another point to raise is that its a 94 Ranger, again without knowing the O/P's position or stance on the trucks use it is hard to assume but based upon the clear evidence of most Ranger owners in comparison to say their larger F-series bigger brothers or even in the sense of their Toyota Tacoma or Nissan Frontier metal brethren. Unless it s a newer 2019 Ford Ranger, Ranger owners just don't support their own market support base.

To put that in less than PC language, they just don't spend money on their vehicles or the same as the rest of the off-road community and or overlanding groups.

We would best leave it to the O/P to come back and post clearly what their ideas or needs are before trying to quantify what products are what and where on the opinionated scale of quality. Personally my experience, Even at the cost of $1.7M to 5.8M Bugatti's still have problems and issues just far less than your neighbors KIA. Difference is KIA made 7.25M vehicles in 2017 and as of 6 August 2014, Buggati has stated 405 Veyrons have been produced and delivered to customers worldwide, with orders have already been placed for another 30. Bugatti was reported to produce 300 coupes and 150 roadsters up to the end of 2015.

Useless information but the point is nothing is infallible regardless of cost factors involved and I think the comments thus so far are clearly to draw the O/P out and find out what they're really looking for. Not so much to come out and bash one company or praise another again based upon opinions and or possibly poor experiences or otherwise.

Should we ever be a future consideration for product selection for you, we know you will be clearly seeking out the top tiers for your choices. let us know how we can help?
