there is absolutely nothing wrong with a 3" body lift on a Ranger. I have many friends with the PA Accessories 3" bodly lift and it looks awesome and has no adverse affects like running spindles and stuff (my buddy's spindle broke and came off truck at 55 mph).

I cannot stand body lifts. it just looks cheesy. plus i dont want to lift it any higher.

down the road i want to put a mid travel kit so i can convert to heims/uniballs with a 'race' spindle so nothing can break.

is there any oem replacement shocks that i could mess with the valving/ spring rate? i hate how my truck rides.
