Default How do i go from stock to 35s? lifting, leveling etc. NEED HELP

I'm completely new to the whole ranger hobby thing. I'm only 14 so starting at a young age, so i need a little help explained the differences between body lifts, suspension lifts, leveling kits, and super body lifts? I'm really all mixed up but here's what i want

To be able to run with 35 tires
and have a decent leveled height of maybe 3" or 4"

pictures would really help me here if anyone wants to show me advice

what works on rangers?
will it rub or touch with only a 3" body lift?
any good brands?

please feel free to send me links of good products or websites that can help i really appreciate the help!

Welcome to FRF logan,
For tire fitment please refer to this chart:
Chart of maximum tire size

I found a nice detailed article you might want to read through that explains all about lifting:

Oh and ighoelle

We need to know if your truck is 4wd or 2wd. That makes a huge difference in price and choices.

Save money to regear the rear diff, or both diffs if its a 4x4. Save save save money because you will need to dump money into it.
