4x4 Lift Questions

[97Ranger4x4]

Hi, I have a 97 Ranger 4x4 and im new to the 4x4 truck scene, and wanted about a 3-4 inch lift kit. I DO NOT want a body lift. I want a suspension lift but wanted to knw what sites have good prices or if theirs a certain brand thats better then the others? One more thing, is their any other way to get a lift? I hear if i put bigger leaf springs on, or even leveling kits i could get a few inches of lift? But plz let me knw what i need, any help is appreciated Thanx

For a 3in lift check out Fabtech's spindle lift you can find it on many websites be prepared to spend some money though. You can check out the EE's on here I seen one a few days ago for cheap. As for the rear you can do the chevy spring swap, shackle, AAL. Theres loads of info on here so some research.

That would be a good kit if his truck was 2WD.

You're going to pay more for their kits but its probably the best on the market as far as quality goes.

The problem you'll run into with your truck if you put a leveling coil or leveling spacer is that it will be a pain in the ass to get it aligned afterwards. If your truck is aligned now and you put a 2" leveling kit on it, it will push the tops of your tires outwards.
