Hey boys and Gals. I am going to buy my first for ranger this weekend or next and then I plan on customizing it. It is a 1995 ford ranger 4.0 L with a V6. I was wondering the following things.

1) If i go with a 6 inch suspension lift will i have to run new brake lines?
2)Is i run 32 inch tires on it will axel spacers be required to make it longer?
3)What do you guys recomend for spacers?
3)What do you guys recomend for lift kits

About my truck. So far i have only orderd the interior customizing. I am going to put 2 12" JL audio subs in it in a custom ford bax! Should sound dirty. I have a custom 8 inch center console and customs taks and all custom interior at the shop! Ill put some pics up! Thanks alot guys let me know please!!

1) You would need new extended brake lines for a 6" lift. You may be able to get away with being able to keep the rear brake line if you do something with the mounting bracket. I think there are a few people here that have done it but Im not exactly sure how.
2) Are you meaning wheel spacers? Not needed. You shouldnt need any kind of spacer (wheel or axle). Just a rim with proper backspacing. I have 31s on stock rims and its just fine. Are you planning on new gears?
3) See 2
4) Skyjacker makes a really good 6" kit. Its not exactly cheap though.

Do you know what gears are in it now? If not use the link at the bottom to find out what you have. I would go with 4.10 to get you back to near factory performance. There may be a chance you have 3.73s stock which would be fine if you are on a budget. If you do end up needing new gears be sure and get a master install kit instead of a basic one. Being a 1995 you may as well change out bearings while you are in there and the master kits come with new ones.

Sounds like you have some pretty cool plans for your truck. Be sure and post up all the progress on it.
