Door tag indicates an 8.8” rear with 3.73 limited slip. I was happy to see that as it save me from a gear change or other updates to diffs, and brakes should be good to go. Just inspect and repair if needed.I'm considering a 1 inch body lift myself. While it use to be available as a kit... no longer true. There are shops out there... even ebay that sell 1 inch aluminum pucks. I've read that 1 inch requires no other alterations. Slip the pucks in... tighten them down... done. No radiator/hose/shroud issues... no filler hose... steering shaft... wire harness... and the bumpers stay where they were meant to be. It does end up with a bigger gap at the bumper... but livable.
Rangers come with 9 or 10 inch brakes. Typically 9 inch on the 7.5 rear end... 10 inch on the 8.8 rear end. You will have to check the door tag... and look in the Tech Library for your axle code.
That should leave some room in budget for Bilstien shocks all around!
