this is a bit more then 3in lift, but i had 3in spindles, 3in BL, 4in blocks and AAL+35's



best of both worlds? lol.. i would go with the spindles and AAL+shackle in the rear would look great.

Yeah. I'll take a pic of my truck soon. But, idk. with the money you would be saving on getting a body lift vs a suspension lift would be enough to buy you some pretty new prefprmance parts I would say. No doubt.

Well it appears it has been cleared up that he is 2wd, but just in case. The only suspension lift for his truck is a 3" spindle, that runs from $3-400. Body lift is low 100s IIRC.
On my last Ranger, I went with the spindle instead of the body lift as I felt the spindle lift was better for offroading than the body lift. But I have seen people wheel body lifts with no problems, also seen spindles snap. Either way there are pros and cons and stories to go with both.

I have a T-bar crank on my ranger it did the job. Just make sure you get a Alignment after doing it

Agreed. I ignored the warnings from others that you should get an alignment after cranking the t-bars. But after about 15K miles, even with proper tires rotations, my tires are wearing on the insides a little prematurely. Oh well, they're only Wranglers. I'll get an alignment after I get new tires....

Guys run 32x11.5 with no lift.

Nobody is going to endorse those aftermarket torsion keys, if that's what you're referring to. There is the "pre-key mod", which consists of swapping the keys from an older Ranger into a newer one after Ford lowered the truck, but that's another story.

Yea no recommendations on those keys from me. Never hear anything good about those.

I see you have an EDGE, does that mean you stacked blocks??? Since they already come with a 2" block factory.

Still twists more on the leaf springs...helping add to the already crappy "S" ranger rear springs make....also known as wheel hop.

Shoulda just put on chevy 2" drop shackles.

I say just do a torsion bar crank and maybe 3" spindles lifts. Find some used ones on race-dezert.com

thats probably the best website for offroading!

you shoulda got a 2wd then..
everythings so expensive for 4wd but its nice how you can almost conquer anything. But in 2wd you just go fast!

Cost wouldn't be so much of an issue if it weren't for the God-forsaken torsion bars.
