Default Type of lift?

I'm looking to lift my 01 ranger. It's a 2wd 4cyl. Im also going to be getting 31" tires. Looking for something relatively cheap, but will hold up well off roading.

Any advice is appreciated

If you just want tire clearance, a body. If you need your frame to be higher for trails, spindle lift.

Idk what the lmao was about but I was seriously asking the OP because I would not just recommend any brand lift spindle to someone who plans on hauling ass through the desert and jumping the truck then having a the snout break off. Also that makes a bodylift out of the question as well. The only option that leaves is to get an actually suspension kit that can handle that kind of abuse, which is not cheap
