Default 2011 2wd ext cab XLT 4.0L Lift kits

Hello All!

New to the forum. Please excuse me if this has been answered already. However, I searched and read the Sticky for lifted suspensions, it states for 98-newer. Does that cover 2011?

My truck is a 2011 Ext cab, XLT 2wd, 4.0L Automatic trans, looking for a mild lift kit or A-La-Carte parts. A kit would be nice, but not required

3"-4" lift in front is preferred and 1-2" lift in the rear.

Also, what shocks front and rear?
I found Bilstien 5100, part numbers: 24-187107 front and 24-185509 rear. Per the footnotes, they will accoodate up to 3" front and up to 4" rear. Am I reading that correctly?
Here is the link:

I cannot locate any lifted coils that say specifically for 2011. I see kits for 2008 and 2010. What are the differences with the 2011 pickups? Other than the silly traction control and not being able to use lifted spindles.
OR will those parts fit on my truck, without modifications? other than the part itself.

Last, what size tires can fit without rubbing with normal driving on the truck with the above lift kit? I was leaning towards 30x9.50x15 or 236/75/16, all terrains, depending on wheel size. Falken Wildpeaks AT3 most likely, if approved by my peers

Thank you in advance! Glad to be here!

I finally found a kit that specified 98-13!! Any reviews or thoughts with this kit on Ebay?

Type this line in a search: "1998-2013 Ford Ranger Mazda B 2WD 3"-2" Lift Coil Springs Prerunner Lift 753030"

Chassis Tech is the manufacturer, they are based out of Arizona. This is satisfying my needs. However, I have no experience with this company.

This must be my lucky night. No luck searching for hours and hours and now two different kits found.
This kit on Amazon including shocks. Any thoughts or opinions?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077THNCNJ

Again, I am not familiar with this brand.

Thank you in advance!

No responses??

With the coil spring lift being 2.5-3”, do I need to purchase and install extended front brake lines/hoses?

Thank you
