Default Help with lift

I planned on getting a fabtech spindle kit (3 inches) for my ford ranger. Then I was going to buy a 3 inch body lift... Now my question is, I was going to run 33 inch tires or 35s with it would I have to change my gears?

Motor? Gear ratio? Need more info on the truck but most likely yes

You will need to regear 35's to 4.88 or 4.56 and 33's 4.56.

Buy gears and do It your self, or buy them and have a shop do it.
