One of the cheapest ways to lift your Ford Ranger is from a body lift. In fact, it’s really common on the 1998-2011 Ford Rangers due to the cost of lifting these trucks. As you can see from the photo above, a 3-inch body lift will easily allow you to fit 33-inch tires.
Some Ranger owners use body lifts along with suspension lifts to accommodate even larger tires.
