Hey everyone, I am new to the online community of Ranger enthusiasts, and i have several questions. The first, I have a 1999 Ranger 2WD, is there any company that makes a locking differential that installs directly into the current axle housing? I put bigger tires on it, and take it on mild 4x4 trails and it would be a big help if I could lock the rear end. Second, the bigger tires rub in the turns, and when going over bumps on the trail and I think that a lift would be the right thing to fix both problems. I would rather invest in a suspension lift, somewhere around 2 or 3 inches. Should I go to my local auto shop and have them install a kit on it, or is there a good kit that i can install myself?
