Im looking to do a little suspension lift on my 2wd 1998 ford ranger ext cab.

http://compare.ebay.com/like/2609204...Types&var=sbar

Will this kit work? and would i need anything else? like a pitman arm or something was mentioned to me before. Would i need a new one with a lift?

Thanks for any help guys!

Is your truck torsion bar or coil spring?

that kit won't work, sorry. it's for torsion bar suspension.

oh, and you have rack/pinion steering, not a pitman arm.

here: you need some spindles to do a suspension lift on a coil sprung ranger

you can technically use coil spacers, but they are hard on the suspension & make it ride shitty. i think spindles are the way to go

So spindles for the front. What for the back would be best?

AAL! cause they lift the back like shackles or blocks, but also increase payload

or shackles are fine too, but i never cared for blocks, just my opinion...

So if I do that lift will I need new springs and shocks to accommodate the extra couple inches???

the spindles don't change anything that the shock feels. they stay stock, and the stock rears will prolly be fine for just 2"
