Hi all I've go an 1986 4x4 and I want to do a suspension lift on it. Now the problem is to get a new lift kit will stretch my funds jest a little to tight. Like I'd have $50 left and I have no income as of now so.. yeah.
And I can't find a used one on CL but I found a 4" bronco Lift kit for 1980-86 f150 broncos and was wondering if it could work on my ranger or be :icon_welder: made to fit?
And what kind of work would I have to do to make it work/fit?
Thanks guys.... and girls. :)

PS.. never done a lift before so all imput it helpfu:)

I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!
No a full size lift kit won't fit a Ranger.

If you have no income... Don't waste your money lifting a truck.

This.

A lift will suck more gas. No money won't buy more gas.

You have no income and you are worried about lifting your truck. You must have absolutely no common sense. You shouldn't even worry about driving anywhere if you don't have any income.

But no the lift won't work, the components won't match up correctly between a Bronco and a Ranger for the suspension components. A Bronco is a close relative of the F-150, a Bronco 2 lift may work on a Ranger but not the full size Bronco.

I agree with everyone above in not BUYING a lift. However, if you're a little mechanically inclined you can lift for next to no money;

But you should think this through. A lift will mean slightly less gas mileage which when you're broke sucks (money out of your wallet). It also means that you're going to want bigger tires (money out of wallet and even less mileage). It will mean a wheel alignment...more money. It goes on and it never costs less money.
Good luck,

Richard
