Default Larger wheels and lift kit

So I have a stock 1999 Ranger 2wd manual and want to put a lift kit on it in order to put on a set of 33" wheels. What lift kits do you recommend I get and any suggestions on what wheels I should get as well?

A 3" body lift is easiest and most affordable about $200 and a few buddies you can get it done. That's what I had with 33s, now I got 32s. Some ppl don't like body lifts. I like the way it looks.

Since you are 4wd your truck is around 2" taller than his already. OP will need more than a body lift to clear 33's.

OP, look into spindles as well.

Somehow I didn't even think about that or take into consideration. Nice catch.
