I don't know alot about the kits for my truck b/c it doesn't have the traditional front axles. What does my truck have, technical term and what kind of lift is available for these. I have found a few online but not sure if they are what I am looking for. Are they alot harder to install? I know some of this sounds like dumb questions but I just don't know anything about this style of suspension. Thanks for the help.

Also, if I did a body lift do I have to extend any lines, i.e. brakes, steering?
 
Your truck has the SLA IFS suspension (D35 axle).

Superlift makes a pretty decent kit for it.

Body lifts generally require a steering extension (maybe some extended grounding straps also), but shouldn't need much else.

Hope that helps
 
Thanks for the reply. Body lift seems pretty easy but I will check out Superlift. Thanks.
 
BL is cheaper than SL and comes with everything you need except for the shift extender if you have manual. I've had BL's on 2 past Rangers and never had problems with it. Should be able to run 33x12.50's with a BL or SL. Superlift is the only company now with a SL for the torsion bar Rangers. With it you have to buy their driveshaft b/c the stock one will not last long at all.
 
Superlift is the most cost-effective. I am told recently that RCD quit making their 5.5" coil-over Ranger kit. You still might be able to find one though.
Dixon Brothers makes a high-zoot desert racing coil-over setup with longer and stronger control arms and halfshafts but it costs a boatload of money plus you need wider fiberglass front fenders and paint.
