Default Question about lift kit

Hey guys, I own a year 2000 Ranger and looking at various lift kits. I came across this body lift on amazon and was wondering how reliable they are. Any thoughts? Thanks for viewing

We need more info on your truck to see if the lift kit linked will work with it.

The link you have is not a body lift. It is a spindle lift for the front and shackles for the rear. People run that set up all the time without any problems.

Body lifts are also very popular and consist of little to no issues as well.

Wow, I wouldn't put much stock in the answer to questions some of the buyers provided, stacking blocks, and replacing ubolts along with the shackles?
Anyway, it seems you have an Edge? Let's see now, 2" Tbar crank, free, AAL, less than $100, body lift, $200? Don't know about the body lift, never really priced them or wanted one. But the things I mentioned would be easier to do, and maybe even less cost.
The only thing you'd have to add to that would be a frontend aligment. And, no caster bolts, no grinding on your lower control arm, oh, and did I mention easier and cleaner looking?
But then again, it's your truck, and no matter what you do, I'm sure you'll get feedback from others on here that have done the same.
