Torsion alternatives

kamps989 · Aug 13, 2008

I cranked up my t-bars this last weekend and I am wanting more! The rear of rangers (or any truck) seem easy enough to get a couple of inches out of. Im thinking I want 3 inches all around but I dont know what the best way to lift my front end is (CHEAP), since I have torsion suspension I have read up on keys and from what I gather they are bad for the truck and a waste of money. So whats a poor college kid to do to get 2 or 3 inches on top of my t-bar crank???? :icon_confused:

(I would prefer not to do a body lift but that may be what I do)

Nothing. Without buying a lift kit, you aren't going to get any more lift safely from your Ranger. Anything beyond 2.5" is going to need a drop subframe, taller knuckles, bracketry, etc., i.e., a lift kit. Sorry, no cheap way out except a body lift.

If you lift the back of the truck (bring back the factory rake) it will make the whole thing look taller too. Either with different shackles or springs.

If you want the whole thing at once and can't pony up for a suspension lift you are pretty much limited to a BL.

I see well I am thinking of doing some explorer leaf springs I'll just see how that looks and go from there, thanks tho I appreciate the advice!
